      yes, I said a 2.3L will fit fine (in the ranger) if guys manage to shove 4.6L DOHC motors in them (rangers).
      Matter of fact they've also done the 5.4L SOHC Lightning motor in 1. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/trucks/163_0406_ford_svt_lightning_bolt_ranger/index.html

                    Do it!!! Man a 2.3 turbo ranger is one of the thing I've wanted to build forever, and a splash to boot it'd be sweet. If you spent $1,000 building that motor you'd better make more than 300whp. The head on your n/a 2.3 has bigger valves iirc. So use that head, get yourself some decent pistons and rings, then freshen everything else up. Maybe $500 so far, and with the stock turbo you should make around 250-300whp. You'll need an intercooler as I'm sure the top mount won't fit.

                      yeah my dad said i could even buy a kit for the engine that will make it push like 1000hp but damn i don't need that much lol it will be 300whp+ i thought it was cool too

                      check my pictures to see my ranger if you didn't click the link

                                    Well i was talking to the guys at ford and they said they stopped producing the ford lightening and they said the new fast truck they came out with is the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. It looks pretty fast. They said they were really fast. They do have v8 5.4L with 320hp and 390 Torque. So I will believe that they are pretty fast. lol
