I have an extra 5.0 HO engine which I plan on stuffing in my 2wd Ranger.. The engine is an 89, all stock, and fresh. I plan on.......Lunati 51014 cam, World JR. heads, Weiand stealth intake, 600-650 cfm carb, stock 85 dizzy with MSD 6AL, and the headers I have which fit are early tri-y style, likely dumping into 2-2.5 inch dual exhaust with Flowmasters.
3.73 gears, and a T-5 WC tranny with 28 inch tall skins. How's this combo sound? Is there something I could change to make it a little better? I would like the powerband in the 2000 thru 6000 rpm range, so this seems pretty good, but I am not real good with the Windsor engines. What do you guys think?
 
The weiand intake is a good all around intake and I have the windsor SR's on my 351 and I like them.
Another option is to have you factory heads ported and those windsor jrs will really wake up with just some cleanup work. Get the right valve springs from lunati, dont rely on the ones that come on the heads.
