Hi folks,

just inherited my Grandfather's cherry 70k mile 1990 Ranger 2WD XLT 2.3L...it even smells new.

I'm in the process of either A) finding a harmonic damper for it (I broke the existing one pulling the damper in a routine timing belt replacement...the crank bolt washer was still in there, and I didn't realize it:sad:)..evidently, Ford doesn't sell the damper any longer

or

B) Pulling the entire drivetrain and converting it to a 5.0 / AOD setup


I haven't decided the best route just yet...the 2.3 is pretty anemic.

Anyway, I've been building cars for a while, so maybe I'll have something to add to a good forum.

Take care!
 
Howdy and welcome to TRS!

Definitely fix the 2.3. Then drive it while you get everything ready for the V8 swap.
