    Well, yes I know in full out race trim it'll make really nice power, but this is a street car. I looked it up on their website, and it is a Duratec, dammit.

    Rev higher?

    Not exactly sure what you are trying to say. They have cam kits that make 2.3s make power up to 6-7k. Double springs, Ti retainers, etc. This combined with a balanced rotating assembly should be fine for a 6-7k redline.

    I was reading an article on the new Caterham seven replica, it's powered by a ford 2.3L naturally aspirated engine making 300 hp. Then it said it was based on the ranger block found here, with a heavily revised head. I was like WTF????? How can these guys pull 300 hp from this thing...

    Rev higher?

    Jeez, why don't you ask him to think as well, I mean come on 'yo'. I know my motor as is will not make 5.0 power as is with a turbo, unles I cranked up boost way past boom level. I have learned that I will need to change at least my pistons and maybe rods and get a better head, get it...

    Rev higher?

    Thanks for the tips, This route will just put me on the road that much faster and that's what I'm really lookin for. I have heard that the rods for all were the same, then I heard rods for the turbo versions were different. Cranks I knew were the same (changed at 84 or so though) but...

    Rev higher?

    Thanks, I think the 2.5 head will be easier to lacate as well, ton of wrecked rangers in chicago area. Might be able to just get the whole motor then rebuild that one and sell the one in the car now. Would be a few steps easier than getting a 2.5 crank, then a 2.5 head, then my block bored...

    Whats your exp's with Maaco???

    do the prep work yourself, and yes, if you have a steady hand paint it yourself, with a 1/2 decent spray gun and a compressor. You have to remember that they are painting your car for about what you'll pay for the paint if you go buy it. If you know anyone who works at a body shop try to get...

    Rev higher?

    I have a 93 LX 2.3L, it is pretty tired and has about 95k miles on it. I am thinking about a rebuild for it including new pistons to go forged and prepare it for a turbo later. So, I am wondering what it takes to get the Rev limit to 6-7k. Right now it is like 4500 before it hits a wall. Is...

    18" Pony Wheels For Fox Body?

    lol, I think the pony rims are pretty good looking. They do look good in 17 as well. I didn't think they'd look good in a bigger size, but they do.

    Cheapest way for 5-lugs?

    I took the front rotors off a ranger, and the axles off two rangers. Takign the ranger axles out proved good practice for replacing the ones on the stang. Remember to get the right Bearings. You need one set from the stang, one set from the ranger. Forget which is which tho. I am...

    Questions of a 16 year old...

    As long as you have no problem masking everything off, it should be fine. Even take plastic bags and cover the disc, etc. I'd take sheets of plastic (cut garbage bags will work) and cover 1/2 the hood/the entire fender. Then use a coat hanger and bend it up to hang the caliper, tape off...

    NA 2.3L performance

    have to see what I can do along that route. I have been looking at used ones, if I can swing a small loan, that's probably the route I'll take. I've seen a lot of ok ones for around 4500, 6500-7000 seems to be the going price for a very clean one with tasteful mods, and sometimes I see a low...

    Best way to change springs?

    :nice: I know it's spelled wrong, I typed it in stangcollector and it came back as name already used. I figured as such (breaker bar), however my jack had blew out the hydraulic seal, and I was using the scissor jack, had 90% of my tools stolen including my breaker bars, and was having an...
