Hello! I'm a new member from Michigan

[Teddy da bear]

Hello....

I joined the website to source an engine and parts for my 1987 Ford Ranger XLT, Supercab, 4x4 with 2.9L V6.

This truck was the last new vehicle I purchased and went on honeymoon in it.
So it's very sentimental to me.

I'm trying to bring it back to life!

Welcome! You'll get 'er going!

Hope so .... My mechanic is positive one day and negative the next.

 

[pentode]

Haha, everything is fixable. On these old trucks that's actually pretty close to true.

Welcome to TRS.

I'm in southwest lower Michigan.

I need the best rebuilt 2.9L V6 available!

 

[bobbywalter]

how bout a 4.0?


or a 5.3?

 

[bobbywalter]

i might know where there is a good 2.9 lower.

 

[Teddy da bear]

My mechanic is already fidgity about this project. Don't want to throw him off the deep end!

I'm a big block guy.

If there was any "upgrade" I'd want to shoehorn in a 460. Go BIG or go home!

the engine in my truck is the same size as a 460
