Doesn anybody know a site that has Ranger performance parts for the 2.3 engine? I've looked but i cant really find headers and that anywhere. Or do you know a place where i can get a new passenger side front headlight housing? I'll try and look but if any of you have good sites i'd appreciate the help, thanks. Kinda wonderin if i were to put new rims and some 275/60/R15's on there if that would be too much for the truck or not, I know the 4WD ones have like 265/xx/15s so just kind thinkin about it cuz if i have to keep my Ranger XLT then i'm gonna give it a 3 inch lift up front, 2 inch in back and bigger tires, more power is a definite thing though.

Naa, I'm just gonna swap in a 289 bored 30 thousandths over prob, I've found a bunch on ebay, and I'm thinking they'd fit lengthwise with a few adjustments, now I just need help on anyone who knows about this. Will it bolt up to the tranny without too many problems, is there kits for mounting one in a Ranger or would we need to custom make our own? ANY help would be greatly appreciated, but I'm pretty sure it'd fit in there lengthwise without having to do anything to the firewall or what, anybody with any knowledge about this please reply, or send email to buffgy100@hotmail.com labeled as "289 In Ranger". I probably wont be doing this until mid next summer so I've got plenty time for planning and replies, thanks.

Oh and will the drivetrain be able to handle the power?? I'm looking at about 250-300 hp, I might swap my rear diff for a 4.11 instead of my 3.73, I'm also putting some 235/70R15 BFGoodrich tires on there next summer with new rims, overall they're only a 3 inch taller tire. I'll look around myself as much as I can but once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
