I have a 2003 Ranger with a flex fuel 3.0 Vulcan, and I believe a 5r44e transmission. Everything else I know little about. I like to be sure about every little detail so if you think for example I actually have a 5r55e, let me know just for the sake of knowledge.
My question is can I reliably get 450 to maybe even 700hp out of this and still keep it for at least 5 years/200k miles? I am willing to fully tear down the block and start over, but if that's not entirely feasible what can I drop in? As in drop-in ready, I am not super willing to cut things to make it fit. Thanks in advance!
Edit: I'd also like to add 4wd and active suspension, if anybody knows anything about that that would be pretty valuable.
