i just got an 83 ranger today. it should keep me on the trails while im building my bronco up. it has the 2.3 (with 50k on it) 4 banger in it and a 4 speed tranny. some small tires needs some massive 32"s or 33"s on it though. hopefully i can take it to browns camp next time theres a run up there.  |

I know that the 2.3 is a good motor. A lot of people used to swap them into sand rails.

That is the big advantage of a little motor. I still want to put a small diesel in my jeep.
