Even just the 2.3 ecoboost would be amazing.

Or the 2.7 Turbo V6. Damn, I just realized; Ford is making some really good engines right now

Every bit of Smallblock Fanboy in me is screaming “BUT THAT MEANS YOU’LL HAVE TRUCK HEADS”, but this isn’t a mid 70’s 302 and this isn’t The Coral...I shouldn’t post both there and on Oppo at 3am...

Period correct swap:

Yamaha SHO engine, 5 speed World Class, 9 inch w/ Detroit Locker.

Get-Out-The-Butter-We’re-Makin’-’er-Fit Swap:

Bored 460 out to 512(I think that’s the kit?), FMX or C6 (both with craaazy high stall kit), 9 inch w/ Detroit locker.

Now-You’re-Thinkin’-With-Transaxles Swap:

351 Cleveland bored out to 429, Shifter and Transaxle from totaled Pantera. Mount all behind cab.

Sacrilegious Swap:

350 Chevy, TH400, Chevy 10 bolt.

That’s-Just-Weird Swap.

Miller Process Mazda Motor from a Millennia.

Yep now we just need the 2.7TT in something under 3500 pounds (AWD Fusion RS?), and the 3.5TT in anything that isn’t the size of a house. And the 2.0, 2.3, and 2.7 in every Mazda.

My truck weighs 3025lbs at the curb with the 4.0 in there full of fluids and with a full tank of gas. I can only imagine how light it would be with 1.3L less displacement

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s 09/24/2015 at 06:47

and I’m going to venture that 4.0 is an iron block. AKA boat anchor.

Would it even fit? Those Rangers are pretty narrow. A dohc tt V6 is pretty wide.

Actually with DOHC, a graphite iron block, and twin turbos, it probably would weigh more.

This makes me wonder about the viability of a C6/C7 drivetrain in a Chevy S10 body - and I was initially thinking of just the base models. Now imagine a true Syclone (or more befitting, Psycholone) with a Z06 drivetrain.
