ok i've been trying to find a way to get some extra pull out of my 94 2.3l
i've looked into what it would take to get a v8 in and i've looked into what it would take to get turboed.
It just seemed to be something a little out of my price/skill range.
But i was on craigslist just dinkin around and i stumbled apon this
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/893593622.html
the 302 supposedly leaks coolant into the #6 cylinder, i'm not too familiar with the 5.0s, what could cause that?
what caught my eye tho is that he has the ranger mounts and oil filter relocator.
anyways, i have always thought of myself as "mechanically inclined", but if i knew pretty much what i was doing, how hard would it be to throw this in my ranger on a 4-day weekend? when i get a tranny of course or could i use my stock 5-speed? (reason i ask is i knew somebody who used their stock auto in their lx mustang after a v8 swap)
