hey don't diss the vintage rangers, i love my 89, it runs great no major issues, and only 122000 miles on it, the only bad thing is the sensors are getting old and going bad so i've beenreplacing sensors lately. , probly cost more to do small block it, and way more work than i can do in a weekend, especially since its my main mode of transoportaion

you'll want to swap in the turbocoupes/mustangs pistons and rods. They are forged and give you a lower compression ratio to handle the boost.
supercharge or turbo it doesn't matter. Turbo is by far easier as its all bolt on and pretty cheap....no one really made a supercharger for our engines so it'll be a little harder than a turbo to make some power...

It can be done though. Look into a SCT 4 bank chip if your looking for a 94 and earlier OBD I computer. It will work with a ranger computer. Another good one would be Tweecer, or Tweecer RT. Also works great with the ranger computer. Now as far as supercharging, you can do it and have good luck. I would personally look for an used Procharger, Paxton, Vortech, thats serpentine belt driven. You will need to make your own brackets to mount it, and you will need to take a measurement to get a belt, but there are a few that have supercharged a 2.3 with luck. I would show you a video, but the user removed it. I will try to find something of it somewhere. Guy used a paxton supercharger from a V8 that was a 7 or 8 psi supercharger and it made like 15 on the 2.3.

huh alright, well when i have the money i am def going with a turbo, but to save some time and effort i think i'm just going to swap the engine from a mustang or t-bird, assuming that what i was sold is true and that the engine mounts should line up and wire harnesses should plug right in, and my trans. will bolt right up, and yeah cheeper than a supercharger,
