If they're willing to ship it, i would think shipping would probably be in the $500ish range for container shipping. I would love to see @PetroleumJunkie412 stuff this into a boosted Ranger

I was looking for a Euro 2.9L upper plenum on Ebay.co.uk, and came across a complete 2.9L Cosworth engine for 250£, which is about $320 usd. Too bad the shipping to Canada would probably far exceed its value...

Sounds good. I'll give my machine shop a call Monday and see what they say. Considering how cheap they are, it would make more sense to get a new set, but the late model 2.9s are getting pretty rare in my area. Most of the ones I tore into at pick n pull had early heads. It took me a decent...

I picked up a set of 89TM cylinder heads at the junkyard last year. I just got around to tearing them down and inspecting them today. They were sludged up pretty bad, and when I pulled out the springs and valves I noticed this. Is this something I can get a machine shop to replace? I couldn't...

Does anyone know the purpose of the 22k ohm resistor going to the ignition coil? I was planning on switching to an msd ignition, and was wondering if this was necessary to keep

Has anyone ever found an aftermarket fuel rail for the 2.9l? Morana Racing makes one for the 4.0l but nothing comes up for the 2.9. I tried searching online, and within the forum but I was not able to find anything
