2.3's, 2.5's, 2.8's, 2.9's, 3.0's...
They're all just fodder for the mighty 4.0.
LOL, this kid is older than you.
Actually started out as a V4, there was a 2.6 in there too.
That trebuchet could probably help get you the acceleration you're after with that 2.9. Though it looks like your counter weight will hit the brace. Maybe swap that large weight out for your spare 2.9 block and get some use out of it.
Just imagine the milkshake oil mess a 2.9 would make being spun around on a trebuchet...
So it would look like any normal 2.9l oil change.
Actually pretty accurate. While we are setting the world on fire with non 2.9 engines lets check in on how things are in 2.9 land:
I've had both engines in a Ranger. The 3.0 felt like it had a lot more power than the 2.9. Both were extended cab second generation trucks. The 3.0 had a 5 speed, though.
Fair warning, my 3.0 is in a Taurus. Sedan
They like to wind out from what I have heard, a manual trans would probably help in that regard. As would deeper gearing.
Yeah, that 3.0 really seemed happy climbing a steep hill at 60mph in third gear. And it liked dropping from 4th to 2nd at 30mph and being run up to 45mph.
None of them would exist if it weren't for the Tanus V4.
I get that.
Fair warning, my 2.9 isn't stock ??
