no, lol

i swapped a 2.9l v6 into a stinking ford ranger. talk about problems man...

i let the guy's dumbass kids crawl under it to bolt up the trans, and the dumbass torques down each bolt as he goes in a circle. had the ****** all bent outta shape, he crawls out, not a second later BAMMMMM!!! ------ peice of the block broke off. had to weld it back on... then i tighten the ******* evenly, pretty much did everything else. the throw out bearing makes so much noise, squels, making shitty knocking noises.

finally get the motor running, no oil pressure, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK ------ loud knocks...

oil pressure gauge stopped working, took valve covers off, had oil pressure... knockin sound was the trans/flywheel/clutch/i dont know. it stopped after i revved it up a lil and drove it around the block a couple times...

got er all together and timed runs like a champ. pretty dogish motor but it runs good

thats the ford pos

Damn, that's an old Ranger. Those newer Ford V6 motors are pretty stout with a manual tranny. They make a nice little supercharger kit for them too.
