what engine would YOU use

[rusty ol ranger]

Im going to be the oddball here....

Ford 400, non emission timing set, RV cam, headers, edelbrock 650 sitting on a torker intake.

Backed by a T18 4sp.

It took Ford quite a long while to build a mustang that would keep up with the Camaro once chebby started putting the LS in them..

It was also their undoing.

Added too much Corvette content to them which ended up killing the car.

They were the thing when I was in high school but it was 10:1 vs the Mustang (which was quicker than most things out there at the time) It was pretty close in performance to the Cobra (I think the Terminators had an edge) but the plain old GT's printed money for Ford and were everywhere.

The Camaro chassis left a lot to be desired which also probably didn't help their sales much either (both times they killed it lol)

V8 swaps are cliche AF though. Get yourself a 13b and stuff that sucker in there... nothing comes close to the unrelenting wail of a dorito motor when it's high on the pipe.. And I'd be willing to bet that there probably isn't a single rotary swapped ranger in the country..

I don't know, a V8 in full battle rage sounds pretty darn good...
