Re: 2.5L engine swap
I would stick with the 2.5 and do some mods to it if your looking for more performance. Its alot of work to do a V6 swap really. I think you should look at turbocharging the 2.5 or supercharging...

Re: Remote Turbo Set Up On A 302?
you could make 500 to 600 hp at the wheels. GT45 is an ebay turbo, and they seam to be pretty good for the 300.00 price tag. Also a 351w will fit just fine. They are a bit wider and need a bit...

It is very possible, and it has allready been done. You would want at least 3 inch if not 3.5. Man thing is you want to mount the turbo to the frame rail so its weight is supported. You need to...

Re: 2.3/2.5 rpm....?
205/70R14 at 70 was like 2500 or 2700rpm with 373s or 355s. I could hook it back up to confirm though. This is on a 92 2.3 ranger 5 speed. M50D has a pretty big od IMO.

Re: Intake Gasket?
It could. They are cheap at napa, and its not that hard to replace. Its also a good time to replace the spark plugs since its pretty much impossible to get at them with the intake on.
