now now tooo much appreciate all the info but need to be realistic and trying to keep it fuel injected tooo lmao

 

This is realistic. There are not going to be any engines that are just "drop in".

A fuel injected 5.0 V8 out of a late 90s explorer would be your best bet.

 

would the rear end hold it i dont realy want to create the huge snowball effect although im not afraid of work and have a welder and plasma cutter but dont realy wanna do all that just add a good amount of power and torque shoot was thinking of a 50 shot of juice power made simple

 

2.9s are good for around 400HP with boost, so it should handle a 50 shot alright if you keep the A/F ratio in check.

Whether or not the 7.5" rear end or the A4LD automatic will handle an additional 50HP is another story...

 

I haven't had any problems with the 7.5 in my Ranger. I'm pushing around 450 hp. But I'm not dumping the clutch at every light either. I'm sure if I took my Ranger to the track all the time, the rear wouldn't hold up. But for the occasional burnout and street driving, I have had no problems at all with the 7.5"....

 

so what kinda boost are you talking about ???

 

A 2.9 can handle around 18 PSI of boost with stock internals. Should be good for around 350-400 RWHP. You need good fuel management tuning though.

One guy over at RangerPowerSports ran 20+ PSI, but a bad tune caused detonation and he melted a piston.

 

where do you find these parts i have looked but cant seem to find cams hp injecters or much of anything

 

The 2.9 was never a popular engine here. You can get camshafts for it from Europe, but they will be expensive. As with any other aftermarket parts for the 2.9.

The only reasonable way to extract more power out of a 2.9 is either boost it via turbo/supercharger or use nitrous.

The 2.9 will accept basically any injector type, but bigger injectors are useless without a proper computer retune.

 

What all would I need to replace on it? I have the 2.9 2wd manual. Besides the engine what would I need to replace to make it run to the best potential? I have rod knock in mine currently and it’s pissing oil like a race horse

 

For a 5.0 you need a transmission, engine mounts, harness, computer, radiator and a few other odds and ends.

 

what makes it more difficult
