Greetings from GA

Been lurking the forums for sometime and thought I'd finally join in on the activities.

Here are the specs on the truck.

1997 Ranger XLT
Short cab
Step-side bed
Dark blue exterior
Grey interior
2.3L 5spd
Truck has 263k miles and <10k on the rebuild
Lowered 3" front and 4" rear
17x9 FR500 front wheels w//275 40 r17 tires
17x10.5 FR500 rear wheels w/315 35 r17 tires

I pulled the motor ~ two years ago and did a complete refresh with .030 over flat top pistons. Intake and cylinder head have been extrude honed. Cam is stock as is the manifold/header. I redid the exhaust with a single in dual out Dynomax turbo muffler with the tips turned out in front of the right rear tire.

Waiting to go onto the truck is a remote mount turbo and an electric fan. I've tossed around the ideas of a small block and the 2.3 turbo swap, but really like the idea of the remote mount as it will look mostly stock under the hood.

Thanks for letting me lurk for a while now and I am glad to have finally joined.
