Wast of time mike, 302 is going into my 84 ranger, this is a daily driver so a 2.9 is going back in it, took it out wheelin yesterday on some hills and trails behing my house....that's when the motor started to knock.... o well, drive it nice till I can afford a new motor and have a buddy swap it for me
driving it on the road now! it rides so nice!!!
Well its been over a month lol, bought a rolling chassis with an engine last weekend, and thismorning before work I got the engine outta the frame and started to tear it down for rebuild, its gonna be just a .030 over new engine, gonna pickup an engine stand in the next day or 2 then start taking it apart the rest of the way and send it to get hottanked and bored out and have the heads redone (if I can get the manifolds off!) Here are a couple pics
