Is she turning over and not firing? I was going t get it to use as a parts car for my car anyways, so I am glad you are going ot use the whole thing. I decided to go another direction with my project anyways, so it probably worked out for the best.

Hey I probably have some parts you might need to get it running. I am dropping the 2.3l out of mine. I have a fresh factory head, ranger roller roccker kit, full gasket set, pair of 2.3L blocks etc.. Freshly rebuilt A4LD trans...

Mine is an 88.

Head is a bare factory new nead assembled with valves and springs, no followers or cam. I also have a used dual plug head form a ranger and the original head from the 88. I bought the new head off ebay.

I am honestly hoping to sell the entire engine if possible, otherwise I want to get the car moving with the engine while I build up the V8. If I do that then I need these parts.. sort of a vicious catch 22...
