[http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Rangerforums-40-ford\_11714.htm](http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Rangerforums-40-ford_11714.htm) My dad was thinking about getting me one as a better winter vehicle, so naturally I started poking around to see how I could make it faster. This has the potential to be pretty sweet if I could pick up one that was a 5spd and 4WD ---

I worded that question wrong. I meant does the car come with a mustang engine in it. I guess not. A 4.0L…V6? Sorry for my Ford n00b status. ---

I would highly recommend NOT getting a ranger. They suck on gas mileage, maintenance and the issues with them breaking down is INSANE. ---

I’d rather get a chevy imho, but my dad’s paying for it so I may not have that much say ☹ ---

imho I would pick a chevy truck over a ford ranger. Not to mention I can’t realistically tow my car on a trailer with the ranger. Although I’ve done it lol ---

I think Redline Motorsports had a 03-04 SVT Cobra motor swapped into a Ford Ranger at one point…Not 100% sure though EDIT: Just watched the video, 1.) looks slow as shit 2.) what a retard for doing that in a parking lot and having to stomp on the brakes and 3.) i wished he tipped over. ---

that would make the same amount of sense as putting an ITR engine into a CRV or passport. might be quicker, but still handles like crap ---
