After searching the aftermarket, I've found a header for the 2.3 Lima engine, but none for the 2.5.

It's my understanding that the 2.5 is a stroked 2.3, therefore can I use the 2.3 headers on my 2.5? In a 98 2wd Ranger.

If the outlet needs adapted, let me know the difference, I can probably fix it.
I have a welder and talent but a thin wallet lol...

 

Yes, 2.3l Lima(1989 to 1997) and 2.5l Lima(1998 to 2001) used the same head, so exhaust manifolds are interchangeable.
Just the crank and rods were different, for the longer stroke

 

Cool, thanks!

 

i have a question, can i use a 2.3l exhaust header thats for a turbo application on a non turbo 2.5l?
