So I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. I have an 87' Ranger XLT 4x4 with a 2.9 V-6, and it has over 160,000 miles and has sat for 9+ years. I really don't want to mess with it, and I would like to hop up and swap in a carbureted 2.3L. I want to keep my stock Mitsubishi FM145, but I wanted to know if it will bolt on, or will the bellhousings be different? Any other potential issues/required parts for this change?
I am still fairly new to working on my Ranger (old full size Fords are what I used to drive), and I don't know the interchange on most of the drivetrain parts yet.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
