 That comes in about a thousand less than the 2.3L Eco-boost crate engine. The crate engine also requires a $2k engine control pack for a manual transmission but it does come with an intercooler.

 Not much to update here. Working on getting the title right now, it's a tricky situation

 Ohhhhhhh..lol sorry, I guess all you old guys are finally rubbin off on me. I did see that one, but it's not a long bed. I really want the long bed, otherwise I'd be all over it. I think there's not much left to do on the title but wait now and see what they said. All my paperwork is in order.

 I had to hit myself with several consecutive large objects to keep from buying that thing.

 This thread will likely be brought to life again. This is what I spent my weekend doing.














Bought an old 302 (maybe?) from a 73 mustang at a swap meet. Guy said if I could pull it out I could buy it, so that's what I did. People came by looking at me like I was crazy lol.

 Nice! Does it turn over by hand? Or is the plan to rebuild?

 I can turn it a full 360 with a 1/2 ratchet. It's tight, but doesn't catch anywhere. I got it for $300 but the guy must've not known what he had. It's got an aftermarket carb, aftermarket intake, aftermarket valve covers, and after pressure washing it I found a rebuild tag on it. The plan is to get a rebuild kit for it, one of those top end kits from summit and jab it in the ranger. Decided to go carb due to my limited experience in wiring, and it also has a mechanical fuel pump so even less wiring. Anyone know what manual transmission is best behind this truck? Not a big money one, but a junkyard find-able one

 Welp, the engine sat for too long. It's gotta be bored another .030 over for a total of .060, which I kept finding conflicting answers on if it's safe. Apparently, since I have a '68 block it's a little beefier than the '78+ blocks and .060 is fine for a daily driver/mild build, which is what I plan on doing. Cheap summit aluminum heads, cheap aftermarket intake (apparently the edelbrock 289 “Torker” intake is poop), and just a stock rebuild kit for it. $450 to have the block bored, cleaned, cam bearings installed, gasket surfaces prepped, crank polished and the big ends of the rods polished, not too bad. Should be getting the motor tomorrow
