Hey all, I have been reading this forum for a few years as I have owned 3 rangers, 85, 92 & now 96. 2.3L Engine is blown so I went about replacing it. Found an engine on craigslist, claimed it was from a '96 and only had 75k miles on it. $200 seemed like a good deal. About an hour ago I got...

Has anyone ever gotten a Ford Racing Crate Motor and put it in a BII or other RBV? I was looking at M-6007-X302B*, a 302 with about 345 hp, or even better the M-6007-Z363RT*, which has a displacement of 363 and about 500 hp. If i had the money and time, i would find a way to do it, but for now i...

Hello everyone! I'm reliving my youth with a recent purchase of an 88 BII. I was pleased to find it drives, smells, and sounds very similar to my '89 Ranger. I'm new on this forum and have had a blast reading though all the posts. I'm honored to be a part of a group that loves these vehicles...

Im looking to replace the original 83 ford ranger engine (4-Cylinder lima Engine 2.3 liter manual) with a more powerful engine. was wondering whats my best choice out there that would make the swap as least complicated as possible?

i tried to clean the engine with Gunk the other day and then washed it out with a normal house water hose. it was giving me a little trouble from there (running rough) and then just got worse. i ran it about 30-60 miles in hopes that i can burn the water that may have gotten in bad places out...

1994 4.0 ranger. Its got a light miss at an idle that gets harder with increased speed and it seems to lag just a little in acceleration. I've replaced plugs, wires, fuel filter and pump. It has spark and is getting gas. The only odd thing is that the drivers side plugs seem to foul while the...

Hey guys when I just get going in the lower ranges of first and second gear i hear this squeaking noise coming from the engine bay. It mostly happens when the engine is under strain any ideas as to the problem.

Hey Guys, I am putting a rebuilt engine and rebuilt automatic transmission in my 1993 Ford Ranger this weekend. I pulled them out separately, but I was wondering if it is possible to install them together as one unit? Looks like space might be tight, but I think it may be possible. I plan...
