    2.3l in racecar

    Your timing question needs more info to even guess. That will depend a lot on the cam you run.

    Possibly have a newer motor?

    I finally found the "4.0" on the core support sticker. Talk about fine print... I could barely see it! And the 8th digit of the vin is "X".

    Possibly have a newer motor?

    I checked the door tags, which didn't mention a motor. Till it clicked in my head about the coil pack, I had no reason to question that it wasn't a 3.0...

    I guess you do learn something new everyday! The PO was under the impression it was a 3.0... These v6's are all new to me. That would account for the mpg too. Looks like I'm movin' on up to the 4.0 forum!

    Finally got some pics of my "93" 3.0...

    Stubborn crankshaft pulley

    In the antique bus scene, we use heat and paraffin wax. I thought it was a dumb idea the first time I heard it, now I have a little chunk of wax on stand by, at all times.

    Possibly have a newer motor?

    Up till this development, I would swear it was factory everything. It appears to be very unmolested, under the hood anyways. I suspect it was a fleet truck of some manner, earlier it's life. I can post a motor pic tomorrow, but it just looks like a factory 3.0 with edis.

    Possibly have a newer motor?

    It's got a coil pack. It's most definitely not the early motor(with a dizzy). I was just wondering if the 94 cut off date for the distributor equipped motor was correct.

    According to what I read here, in the link below, the 3.0 had a distributor till 94. My 93 has no distributor. Is the info I'm reading correct? Thanks! https://therangerstation.com/tech_library/3_0performance.html

    Contact Esslinger engineering. If it's got 4 cylinders and a blue oval, they've maxxed it out.

    Flow rates for 3.0 heads?

    I've got a little homemade flow bench. Just not tearing my motor apart to measure flow. I'll have to pick up another set of heads.

    Flow rates for 3.0 heads?

    The fact that others don't want too, or can't, is exactly why I will. I'm not the easy lego build type guy. It's just metal. I got a guy that can carve out a custom cam, I just need to figure out what kind of flow I can get.

    Best 2.3 to build?

    I got this one gathering dust...

    Flow rates for 3.0 heads?

    That's little better than I thought... I can likely double that with a good porting.

    Flow rates for 3.0 heads?

    Does anyone know, or know where find, the factory flow rates for the 3.0 heads? Thanks.

    Running boards question

    Thanks for the info!

    What is the weirdest engine you've seen in a ranger?

    I guess. If you're into hearing about the one some toothless old party girl had back in the day... They definitely pull in the geriatric trim.

    I wanna laugh at the fiesta vs. escort "debate", but...

    Running boards question

    Will the running boards from a 2004 supercab fit my 1993 supercab? Lengthwise, I'm certain they would fit, but are the frame rails the same? Thanks again guys!
