carb intake for 2.9

The 2.9 was used alot in cars overseas. A few ford passenger cars in the U.S got the 2.9. I believe they had a different profile camshaft as well as intake. I think the heads and bottom end were the same though. I bet it would be sick to get a sierra upper and lower intake port matched and the cam strapped in a ranger 2.9.

the 2.9 was used in merkur scorpios (pretty much the same as a sierra i think) and were rated at 144 hp rather than the 140 that the us truck engine has. theres also a dohc variant made by cosworth that makes nearly 200 hp.

on a side note, i have an intake and computer from a merkur scorpio i bought them with the intent to put them on my ranger, but i have a 4.0 that will be swapped in instead
