If you're serious a swap for more power, look to the turbo 2.3L. Not exactly the most original idea from a forum perspective, but driving around it isn't very likely you will see another one. Also note that the Ford 2.3T has almost no notoriety or street cred to speak of, so its sleeper potential is EPIC in the real world. Few things in this world are funnier than saying "Hey, I bet I can beat that with my 4-cylinder Ranger" and then winning. When you win you will get screaming, crying, laughing, LOADS of BS excuses about why you won, another driver's complete loss of all dignity, and best of all are the WTF stares. The fun you can have with a turbo 4-banger Ranger is endless.
My opinion may be slightly biased because I own one, but of any vehicle I have ever owned this thing brings more "WTF factor" than anything else. And this is coming from a guy who had such vehicles as a low 11-second Harley ironhead (you don't know a sleeper bike until you have a Harley that hangs with crotch rockets).
