My 2.9 is goin out, but I have 2 options im pondering. 1st Im gonna tell you my situation. I need a vehicle that can reliably do 70ish mph for 150 miles straight. My ranger and my F250 wont cut it. So I have been thinking of a car
more than likely a Lincoln Mark VII LSC for some reason I like em lol. There is an alternative thought I had. There is a 4D55 turbo diesel that came from a ranger sitting in my friends barn. and is complete like wiring and all including mounts. I just so happen to have a FM146? and bellhousing. My truck is a 92 4 sus lift 2 inch body and running 33s with 410s reg cab short bed. Is this feesable for what I need? is wiring a 1st gen diesel into a 2nd gen gonna be PITA. Am I gonna spend this money and just have to do 55 all 150 miles?
On a 2nd more awesome note If I were to go with the swap I would have a matching set lol My F250 and Ranger are of the same era both are red both have 410s both are 5spd after the swap then both would be diesels
Hmm What you guys think
