Will a 2.3 go in my 1988 2 wheel drive carburated ranger? If so will I have to change a lot of stuff? Thank you for any and all help.

Hi and Welcome to FTE! Please take a moment to check out the Guidelines as they contain important info that you'll need when posting on the site:

I've moved your thread to the appropriate forum (which I also happen to moderate) as you posted in a V8 forum...you should do a little better on answers here!

Externally the 2.0 and 2.3 are identical so it should be practically a bolt-in swap.

And of course get the Turbocharged, and intercooled 2.3 from an '88 Turbo Coupe to really wake up your Ranger.
