Hello guys, I really appreciate this forum, been lurking for a while since I purchased my 95 XLT extended a few months ago. I bought the truck as project, and a way to learn about customization. I have done a lot of work to the truck, and am ready to take it further. i plan on putting a 5-7 drop, and have all the info to do that. I also want to swap the 2.3l that is in it, and put a 347 stroker in. So I have a few questions.
1) Will the 302(stroked) be a problem when I drop the ranger with the 5-7 kit?
2) I am not looking to go racing, I just really love the sound that a stroked engine makes, so as far as the 302 donor, I just really want to know what would be the easiest 302 donor. Not looking for major HP, just want something I can go get used and rebuild it and work it via my local machine shop.
3) I prefer manual transmission, so would like recommendations on that as well.
appreciate any help, and will make a build log when I get started.
