I say he should go with the 6 cyl. ranger engine or maybe some other engine that would work good with his car. Any suggestions?
The block will actually fit with a little massaging but he would have to have a huge cowl hood. Plus you would have to make a lot of custom stuff headers steering shaft mounts and you would have a hell of a time getting a good tranny under the Ranger. Come to think of it this is a bad idea. Go with the 4.0L and add the new supercharger kit they make for it.
