Hi Folks....
It seems two Rangers have followed me home. a 1983 2.3, auto, runs like a top, needs a nose and floor boards.
A 1986 2.5, 5sp stick. It came with a spare Toyo Koygo 5 speed OD tranny.
Poor thing, Bubba has had his way with it. Except for the windshield, the body is in good shape. The running gear, not so good.
The engine started life as a 2.5 EFI, but somewhere along the way, someone thought it would run much better with a 1977 Holley 5200 bolted on top the EFI manifold. The inside of the radiator looks like a chocolate bar was melted inside. It had two different spark plugs in it. Standard FoMoCo plugs in the back two holes, and full threaded lawn mower plugs in the front two holes!
The Solenoid is hanging off the fender, when its been torn loose from.
There is not a dry spot for the hydraulic clutch assy, sure glad I got a good trans in the sale. The entire system needs replaced.
Oh yeah, I paid $300 for the pair
