I kept the truck for 10 years then sold it. The whole time I owned it I used to original 4speed and transfer case that was factory for the 2.3 in 1983.
Jeffrey Spragg it's a 4 core aluminum radiator to keep the v8 cool instead of the factory 4 cylinder. It's bigger and sits tucked under the front core support. You can't access one on top like normal.
Dang there is a lot of room under the hood for that engine. I'm wanting to do this on a 98+ Ranger with a 4 barrel Holley Carb and a dual fuel (propane/gasoline) kit.
Great job, should have dropped a diesel in it, would have sounded cooler. Getting rid of the glass packs and straight piping it would make it sound even better. Wish I could drop a bigger motor in 2001 ranger.
