I have a 1998 Ranger Supercab w/3.0 auto and 257K on the odometer. Other than oil changes and tune-ups, only thing done to engine has been a oil sender replacement. I want to rebuild this engine because it has never been overheated, abused, etc.
My question is what year and model of vehicle has the correct 3.0L engine to do a direct swap? While running on replacement engine, I will have original rebuilt.
I am also looking for some power adders for this engine while rebuilding it, any suggestions?
The MPG of truck has always been pathetic, 13 city/20 hiway. I don't think MPG could get much worst if I added some performance goodies. But there seems to be few items for this engine. Any ideas?
I have access to some turbos and was considering a low pressure tailpipe turbo setup. Any thoughts on this power approach? Can the 3.0L handle a turbo?
Thanks for any help.
