i bought an engine transmission xcase combo on facebook this weekend for $150 which consisted of a 2.3 fully dressed engine, a 4x4 2.3 M5OD, and a BW 13-50. all of which was the original drive train of a 1988 ranger which had EFI, a dizzwop, single plug head, and the wild accessory brackets. im going to sell/get rid of the x case, use the transmission, and i want to use the block because it is in pretty good condition and was basically free, but i want to use the computer and harness and accessories/brackets and a head out of a 91-92ish truck to match my body style/year/computers/emissions. my main question is will the dual plug head cause problems with the pistons that are in the 1988 block, or will it just raise compression a lil bit something like that? and will all the things i mentioned bolt up like i think they will like the accessory brackets from a later model truck with serp belt? thank you!!
