Lots of stuff out there as they've been used in racing mini-stocks for years. Try Esslinger Engineering:

www.esslingeracing.com/

Thier site seems to be down right now, perhaps it'll come back up later. Another possiblity is Racer Walsh:

Racer Walsh, Inc. 4 cylinder

I believe the 2005 ranger 2.3l DOHC is a duratec engine, not the older 2.3l SOHC LIMA engine. A source for the 74 thru 98 SOHC engine is www.powerbyace.com
