the 2.3l is a very efficient engine, works very very well with boost, much like a honda. :P

Man, my 97 Ranger with the 2.3L is a complete dog. The thought of swapping the turbo motor from the SVO, T-Bird or XR4Ti has entered my mind several times. I believe there are some clearance issues with the firewall/heater core area. I think you can find some info on www.therangerstation.com :P
