Ok, one line off on the forum list lol.Its a stock 4.0ohv. I wish for a v8, but Im in Cali home of the smog check emissions nazis. I'm lucky to sneak a cat back exhaust, cant even mess w/ the stock airbox! and the inspection/ sniffer test is every 1-2 years (and $60 bucks)! Back in the days we were able to get a "dirty smog" done for major bucks, but it got cracked down on and now is just about impossible to get around. Most take the $500 bucks they offer to junk the car if it doesnt pass.
Yeah for a 4.0 Ranger Ford thought the single row was adequate so it probably doesn't really matter much.
