One time I went to tellico, there were a handful of 300 rangers.

Chevy tbi injection on Clifford's on a few. All robbed from broncos.....d44 and 9's...not just body swaps either. They were rangers.

Before I moved back home to Detroit I run across several 300 explorers and 2 6.2 diesel broncos 2s...

Never seen any of them online save for one of the b2s. Some you tube with it at one point.


The reason there are not more of them...is because they are not indestructible....or overly reliable past 200 k......or...there would be more of them.

The 300 is generally regarded as one of, if not the most reliable gasoline american engine ever built.

The only reason you dont see more in RBVs is length and the fact the 302 is cheap and easy to build.

Reliabilty/durability is not something the 300 has an issue with.

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

Why would you bed mount twin turbos when you have so much room on either side of the engine?

Beside the engine would put the expensive turbos in harms way of flying engine block and connecting rod parts.

I think hes planning on 8-10psi boost. This wont even faze a 300.

Ha! Was going to, but at this point, I feel confident enough to do something just stupid. If I had a BMW V12 already on the shelf, that would be going in instead. But since I sold my last jeep, I REALLY miss inline 6 engines.

Frank the 300 swapped Ranger, eh?

Put a 2.9L in it!!

If he misses that 2.9 sound he could always pull a plug and drop a marble in a cylinder.

 

[ericbphoto]

If you want to name it.... I think the colors look like good night time camo. so you could call it

Night Ranger

Oh, I thought the plan was to out perform a 302.

So you're going to put a 2.9L in it?
