ok well i own a 1983 ranger reg cab with an automatic tranny and 2.3 carb motor.
ive checked the tech sheet and i think my tranny is a c5, but it doesnt matter anymore.
ok well i wanted the 2.3 turbo, but i couldnt find one close enough to me.
BUT I FOUND A 302 AND A C4 AUTOMATIC for sale. $600 and it only needs a distributor. he said it runs fine.
ok now i was wondering what all im looking at doing and what i should look out for and stuff?
now my truck is bagged, so fabbing up a new tranny member isnt a problem really. but what about mounts? headers? firewall? what radiator should i run? i know i will run an electric fan, im just not sure where i wire it to, i dont want it run to a toggles switch like race cars lol
thanks in advance
