Well, maybe not that long. I've been driving this '02 XLT since about 2014. Done a lot of maintenance over the years.
This was around 2014 or 15:
Slowly did stuff over the years. This is more or less how she looks now, sans stickers.
Not really sure what it is. A lot of inspiration from here or there. Hot rod? Gasser? Drifter? Who knows. I'd like to turbo the 23NS eventually. That'd be cool. For now, I'm just trying to shave as much weight as possible.
Turbo version of the 2.3L NS is what is in the new Rangers(2019), although it shows as a "clean sheet block" build, so they didn't just slap a turbo on it, lol
Ford has used it since 2015 in cars and trucks
2.3l EcoBoost

My next door neighbor is a Ford guy and he has a new turbo Ranger. I think his is a '20 or '21. He says it's pretty quick. My only qualm with the newer 2.3 is the plastic valve cover. That just seems....wrong. Sure, it would be lighter than aluminum, but still....
