After hitting the biggest doe I have ever seen in my 88 drop top mustang and taking out the complete drivers side along with bending the windshield frame back 7 inches than 2 days later having the manual trans in my 94 2x4 4.0 ranger seize up going down the interstate im left with my gas guzzling suburban to drive 180 miles back and forth to work each day.
With that being said what does it take to drop the 2.3 into the ranger. I was planning on converting the stang over to carburetor due to the 5800rpm built in rev limiter ( I rebuilt the motor over the winter with a very stout bottom end along with full balancing and head porting so 7500 should not be an issue)
as far as motor mounts go they dont look the same at all so my question is what do ya do for mounts. I called ford and the factory stuff is obsolete. does any body know what year mounts i can use so i can go pick a part shopping?
Thanks Bill
