My truck is essentially this:

With one of these in the rear:

Think about it, front engine 4.0 V6, RWD, Posi rear end, T5 5 speed manual transmission.... I have a V6 Manual SN95 Mustang that is actually usable for practical things! Like hauling furniture.

I bet yours is lighter.

Now that I think about it, it actually might be.

This is more accurate than you think, considering that my '98 V6 handled about like a truck anyway.

Eventually, I'd wanna do a 351 out of a last gen crown vic (for the gas mileage)

That "lol" was intended for the Mustang. It makes sense on a Ranger.

Mine is lighter, but only by a little bit

Arch Duke has corrected you already, but the gas mileage is all in the gearing. It's the GrandMa rquis that gets such good mileage, but it is geared really high.

Awww phoeey. I need the gas mileage because Im a broke college student. If I keep her long enough and I get to a point where I can afford it, Definetely, engine swap bigtime

I guess it's time to auto cross it then.

If you're looking for mileage, there are TDI swaps out there.

Well, Nibbles is coming over tomorrow to help me fix the trans, and its way too cold right now. Ill have to wait till spring, but yes autocross

No diesel. That would get great mileage, but diesel is more expensive. So the pitfalls cancel out the benefits
