I was hoping to bolt in a 2.3 out of a 90's ranger I have. Basically just looking to replace the wheezy V6 currently in there. The ranger has the mazda 5-speed.
I know I would have to get a flexplate to match up. Do not plan on putting the 5-speed in as of yet since it is hydraulic clutch. Waiting for a T-5.
But are the bolt patterns the same? What about the starter? any other problems you guys foresee?
I have the complete engine (totaled ranger) I just want a nice reliable easy on the wallet Mustang II. Hoping to place a 2.3 turbo later on.
Thanks
