This isn't about a Stang, or even classic, but I'm looking for opinions. I'm pretty torn with what to do with a project. We bought a 91 Ranger as a DD about 9 years ago. She has since passed along the DD duties to the 93 Bronco. I have gathered some parts to put into it in my quest for a show quality fun truck that can still work. Originally, it was a 91 XLT 4x2 with a 2.3 a/t. It will getting set onto an 89 4x4 frame (there are too many differeces to just swap in parts, a new frame was WAY easier). It is already a bit modified-it has a leer "cap" (basically an enclosed part that comes off the back of the cab, it looks like the "racer back"-it is a pass through from where the rear window should be), a jvc radio, minor things. In addition to the frame swap, I am adding push button 4x4, explorer buckets/console, different rims, and a new bed (rust). I am just having a problem with deciding on the motor. The 2.3 runs great, even with 13?,??? mi. The explorer seats are coming from an entire parts truck we picked up-it has a 4.0 in it. The 4.0 has more torque and HP (obviously), and we could even fit a 302 in there with some modifications. I am just at the point where it seems like much more and it's not my truck any more. The 4x4 was a way to keep it practical (4x4 is a great thing up here in snow country, and the hubby was threating to get a full size 4x4 as a back up the the bronco), and the seats were too (the bench isn't comforable to me, I'm to darn short!), but I just don't want to mod my truck into non-existance! I know it's not a rare vehicle or anything, but I just kinda feel like eventually it won't be my truck anymore. At the same point, the 4.0 or 302 has a lot more potential than the 2.3, and there are more after market parts available....
