Svo??
i was just wondering if a mustang svo engine would be worth putting in my 3.0l im look to upgrade when i get back from iraq......and my last car was a turbo and i really liked it........or do they make a turbo kit that would fit???
first how about some info on the truck then just saying i have a 3.0L...thanks.
now why in heck would you want to down grade to a 2.3L turbo now granted its a turbo but no. if you want fast and good power reliable and not bad gas millage go with a 302 mustang motor its quite simple to swap into the trucks and fits great. or if its a beleave 2002 and newer 3.0L you could put on the whipple supercharger and have Doug made you a tuner for the computer and you will be screwing fast for a ranger

I may just be misreading something, but you said you wanted to put the motor in when you got home right? You said you are in Iraq, and home is Germany? Just trying to get a grasp on that.
Anyways, 95 is a good year to do a 302/5.0 swap. V8 > turbo 4cyl!

Why would anyone want to do this swap? Simple..
Turbo'ed 2.3's have pushed beyond 300ponies and have a good torque curve. Theres MANY aftermarket parts for a 2.3T from an SVO. The 3.0 Duratec has a whipple that can push what powerlevels? With no aftermarket bottom end parts to strengthen it?
If he's looking for more Umph, it looks like a good plan if he has the cash and time.

"Ford 2.3 turbo engine makes up for in good ole "over engineering"! Completely stock short block 2.3 engines have been known to be able to withstand power outputs approaching 400HP! Ford 2.3 turbo powered drag cars can run 10's in the 1/4 mile and put V8 cars to shame! "
Whole webring dedicated to this engine combo -- >

Picture meeting up with a 2.3 4bangin pinto.. easy kill right?

"... Pinto run a string of 10.75s at 118 mph "
10's? On a 4banger that was designed 20 years ago..
Anyone know of a 3.slo thats running 10's presently? 11's? I think Derreks BEST run was in the High 13's ( and his bottom end went all over the place ) .

I would rather use the motor from a Turbo Coupe. You can get them with a few years less on them and there are more Turbo Coupes. And i believe it was slightly different with a little more power or better EFI. I'm to lazy to look right now to find the exact differences.

I really don't know why most people on this site bash the turbo lima. I've heard the svo is better because of the cam or somethin' like that..but couldn't tell u for sure. For the swap you'll need to swap the motor mounts...dunno if the tranny will work or not but im sure you will atleast have to swap the bellhousing and all that junk. I you want to keep you a/c you'll have to flip the header or get an aftermarket one. You'll alos need all sorts of sensors as well as the wiring harness and ecu from a turbo 2.3 car. Wiring will suk since you have a 95...but you'll have a turbo ranger :D

Dude, go for the svo swap that would be awesome!!
could you do us a favor and make a signature, using the user CP function... if you have time. that way we dont have to refer back to this thread to get your specs.
sounds like you have the time, and the money. got any other expenses? when do you get back to Germany?
