do the turbo swap.... use your block and head and crank... get a set of used turbo rods and pistons, and the turbo set up form a tubo coupe and a tuner/ ot TC ecu and repin your harness

what it boils down to is rob the turbo, turbo mani and the rods and pistons from a 83-88 thunderbird turbo coupe, along with the ECU
you will repin the ranger harness for the TC ECU
also will need some injectors and a few other parts.....
look here on more detailed info...

Re: engine rebuild. or engine swap
depends on how nutty you want to get.... you can just hone and slap rings and bearings in the engine for about $200
also depends on what you have and what you need... buy it in piecies or buy a doner car...
