engine build up

[john121590]

hi guys, i have a 92 ford ranger xlt manual trans with the 4.0 v6, i was looking to rebuild it soon and using better internals to get better hp and torque, i was just wondering if anyone has built this engine up, if its worth it, and where to find parts. i want to basically do everything so a good parts list would be much appreciated. also if the stock trans would be able to handle the extra power or if a new one or rebuild with better parts is in order. i am getting a cold air intake and full exhaust for it in the near future so i would like to know if any other parts is needed. any and all help is appreciated.
p.s i live in nevada so desert driving is my goal so idk if any parts are better/worse to use so thanks for the help
