What are you trying to say? I don't understand your post?

Are you asking what engines would swap into it?

What kind of engine problems are you having? If it is overhead cam, most likely it is a 2.3 liter engine. A little more info would be appreciated. As for what engines interchange, people have put pretty much everything into a Ranger over the years. They came from the factory with 2.0 and 2.3 liter 4 cylinders, 2.8 or 2.9 liter V6's, and later 3.0 V6's and 4.0 liter V6's. The latter in an OHV configuration and SOHC.
