I think your Ranger is begging you for a 4BT swap. Oh, yeah.

Edit: Just as a curiosity, can a FI engine be converted to a carbureted engine? Sure you can put a new TB and carburetor on it but what about the distributor? Just a shot in the dark for my info only.
You could but the dizzy needs to be from a pre efi motor, I'm not sure if the DSII system was used on them at all though.
