Hey there,
I recently bought a 1992 Ford Ranger 2WD, 2.3 4cyl, standard five speed. After driving it for about a month I noticed a lack of power and brought it to my mechanic. Long story short, he told me that I was out a cylinder and would have to do a rebuild in order to get it into good condition once again. Seeing as this engine is already pretty under powered, I was hoping to find a way to get some more power out of it.
I then stumbled across somebody selling a low mileage, standard transmission, 1984 Mustang SVO. I had read in a couple forums that an SVO engine would be a good way to go if you wanted an easy turbo setup for your ranger. I was hoping you lovely folks could let me in on whether I would just be wasting my money, or with a fair amount of time, a good mechanic, and a chunk of change I would be able to pull it off. If it is worth my time, what else am I going to need to invest in? Rear-end? Driveshaft? Will the T5 transmission out of the SVO fit somewhat easily into the ranger? Any information you lads have will be much appreciated.
