The 4 liter v6 of those years was rated at about 155 HP and maybe 220 lb-ft torque. The water passages in the heads prevent them from properly clamping down on the head gaskets, so they can easily blow when over stressed, such as with overheating, or forced to produce significantly more power than stock. If you wanted to make major engine modifications to get more power, the first thing to do would be to replace the heads with better versions. I've heard that there are aftermarket heads that are much better than the stock designs, but I don;t know much about them.

Check out the Ranger Station for more information about the engine and how to get more power from it:
