Well, I think I've done it, and killed the motor on the Fordzuki. It's an 83 2.3 out of a ranger, on a TK 4 speed. So I'm looking at options on a swap, and while just replacing the 2.3 with another 2.3 would be sufficient, There may be other options worth looking into. The current motor, up untill last weekend, had plenty of power to scoot a 1500 lb rig around the trails. So what do you think would be the best swap? The good things about the 2.9 swap would be fuel injection, more than enough hp and torque, plus the five speed (only have 4 now), and a 1350 or 1354 Tcase to put in front of the already low samurai transfercase, bringing my overall crawl to around 226:1.
