Well, here's a picture of the 2.9 rebuilt on the engine stand before it went into the ranger.
Here's how it looks installed. Can't see much of it after all the stuffs hooked back up. The silver paint does make things easier to see while working on it.
And here's the truck it went into almost together except for the hood.
The 2.9 was rebuilt stock except for I port matched the upper and lower intakes and the lower intake to match the heads. I also installed pacesetter headers but had to fab a tube and header port to hook it too for the EGR line (87' truck). I also had to fab a new oval to round collector pipe behind the header cross over pipe to the cat. I ended up using only one cat to make the exhaust work. Since the engine and 5-speed were out I also put a new clutch and flywheel on it. The new engines is running good but I still haven't broke it in fully. I'm looking forward to see what it'll do.
