#69 of 81 ranger 4cylnd engines by bookdoodle Nov 30, 2008 (2:04 pm)
I have a 1991 Ford Ranger, 5sp-std transm., a/c, 2.3 lter; my rebuilt engine is dying; it has been in the truck about 5 years but had to have a complete valve lifter replacement job after 3 years; money is very tight, so I need to find a supplier that actually does what they claim. I don't know where to go to find a reliable remanufactured or new Ford engine. I got the current rebuilt from Jaspar, but have found on the INTERNET a company claiming for much less money they can supply a rebuilt engine with a 7 year, 70,000 mile warranty. Jaspar was 3 yrs, 50,000 miles. What is a reasonable expectation for rebuilt engine life, and which supplier is the most reliable. thanks, bookdoodle Replies to this message: mickeymouse2 (Nov 30, 2008 2:16 pm)

Replying to: bookdoodle (Nov 30, 2008 2:04 pm) ATK engines is what I have always used for the past 30 years. I'm an ASE Certified Mechanic.   Here is why;   Warranty is 3 years unlimited millege. In the event of an engine failure, they pay a mechanic of your choice to put another engine in your vehicle. Other engine supplyers you have to pay for the mechanics labor and shipping back and forth on the engine and core.   Take the ATK online tour on why their engines last. You can also get an online quote for your engine.   Good luck!

#73 of 81 Headers for the 302 in a 1998 Ranger by rafaeln Mar 16, 2009 (6:15 pm)
I want to make the last adjustment... would like to mount headers on the 302, but can't seem to get around the steering column.   Anyone overcome this obstacle? The shorty' don't work. Anyone in South Florida that can make something happen? Replies to this message: rangerrocket (Mar 17, 2009 7:22 am)

Replying to: rafaeln (Mar 16, 2009 6:15 pm) If you are good with a welder, just cut and re route the section that's causing trouble. Or you can get swap specific headers like Hedman 88400 or 89500's.

#77 of 81 2.9 L Swap by lostinmotors Oct 03, 2009 (10:16 pm)
I have an 87 ranger 2.9 some nimrod either swapped the 2.9 with a 2.8 carb or swapped the intake to make it a carb engine. I bought a 2.9 out of an 88 and the engine harness is different. Does anyone know if they should be the same? The biggest issue is on the passenger side fender with all the vaccume solenoids. The 88 harness doesn't have those wires.
