Alrighty boys and girls and formally and such,
(Thowing this out there incase its getting missed, 4000 for ANY engine new or existing that includes all parts to run. So not just the 2.9 that's in it. I'm looking for options not to use the 2.9 that's in it and running even though I'm sure I can get 14s out of the 2.9 with 4k just looking for ideas I haven't thought of)
I have a 1987 ford ranger single cab shortbed 4x4 manual with a 2.9l (that has a blown head gasket on the left otherwise fine no engine contamination) all original I'm the third owner in its 214000 miles. Now that introductions are over I have a question for you all. I have 6,000 doll hairs for this bad girl and a full wet nitrous kit heater and all the works. Now I want to make her scream for me. keeping in mind I'm taking off 2000 for drivetrain tuneup trans swap and 9in rear, what would you do with for close to 13-14 second 1/4 times before nitrous with the remaining 4,000. All options are open but remember I am (1) no welder (2) not getting rid of 4x4 (3) and a grown man with a family and a dependable full time job that allows me a hobby such as this.
Final gearing 4.88 front and rear
Trans m50d-r1or r1hd havent figured that out yet
