That should help you on your way to 200

for the money, you could put in a carbed 302 and get easily 200hp. i know everyone wants to keep thier 4 banger, but honestly, just putting in a v-8 with a small carb will get you power and keep decent gas mileage.

man find a wrecked for thunderbird turbo coupe,they have the 2.3 turbo intercooled motor,get turbo kit,injectors and ecu and you can gain about 230 hp,or switch the entire motor out

yea i am going to turbo my 2.3 splash eventually. There is a guy in my town that builds a turbo ranger like every month and he gave me this piece of advice. If your going to turbo, find a turbocoupe, svo mustang, and some escorts were turbos. if you find one rebuild and implant the entire motor, trans, and ecu because if you just slap a turbo on your stock pistons and plane jane 2.3 you WILL blow some shit up.

stock 4.0 rangers have 207.. ha had one for a while.. kinda peppy

POWER RANGERS MT cover trucks

crazy

turbo coupe engine as stated or call esslinger  http://www.esslingeracing.com/home.htmhttp://www.esslingeracing.com/home.htm you can build a normally aspirated engine over 300hp but it will cost big bucks

if you have an OBDII truck, add turbo pistons, a tune and the turbo setup, id say that would net 200 hp easily. there the easiest to turbo since you can get a tuner or have it tuned. cant do that with obd1. or swap to a 4.0.
