TURBO.
from a svo mustang. Other wise contact Advance Adapters to get some 5.0L swap stuff. OR, trade up for a 300 or 302 F-150! Imho the 2.3L isn't worth putting and money into. Remember, thats just my opinion and $.02.

 

Actually the 2.3/2.5 is a strong little engine and has a lot of performance potential. There are lots of speed parts available for it since it is used in both circle track and off-road racing. Try asking on a Ranger-oriented board such as:

Racer Walsh out of Fla has 2.3L stuff to.

 

Ask Mike T in the Computer section he can help you out on all the you will need for a chip on the little 4 banger.

 

thanks guys ill get with my bro in law and see what road he wants to take, thanks mike

 

First of all, check out rangerpowersports.com for some tips as well as the forum.

If the expertise and money is present, a built turbo 2.3L will really rock. But there are things that you can do to help the anemic 2.3L out.
