the 2.3 in the ranger is a 4 valve all aluminum engine with 143 hp stock, 151 hp in the focus.
I wonder if the bellhousing on the RWD blocks match up to the 2.3L T-5 bellhousing, and what the weight difference is.
I think it'd be an interesting swap, drop a few pounds, add in a tubular K-member, Fiberglass fenders hood and hatch (or trunk) and you'd have a light car. Not to mention they do make cams for that engine.
Anyone ever done this? I think they make decent power turbo'd as well.
