The cost of throwing a 5.0 still ends up being way more than the 2.9. I get there are ways to make it cheaper (explorer 302 and computer) but why take a old explorer ecu an wireing and a 302 that will have to be built and fab up. Im not spending money just to throw another worn out engine i...
They are a major reman facility so they would get there rebuild parts wholesale, As well as have an inventory of interchangeable parts your local machine shops will never have anything like that. There also probably tooling multiple engines at once and maintaining a minimum inventory of there...

Got my new to me 2003 ford escape 4x4 to temporarily replace out of commission 87 ranger with a bad rod bearing. Had to comfort my ranger by sitting in it for the customary 20 minutes it gets from my commute to work and back a day. Poor girl she's all tore up about it. I told her she's the only...
If the almighty gods and goddesses of this world wanted a first generation ford ranger to have a 4.0 it would have one. Who am I to play God?
