    I had a 91 Ranger 5 speed with the 2.3ltr inline 4 and that was one hell of an engine tranny combo. It wasn't fast, it didn't have tons of power and you needed a stiff wind at your back to pass anyone but it did get 30+ miles per gallon. it had just over 500,000 miles on it before my brother got it hot and blew it up. That was the 2nd vehicle it let him borrow and he blew up, the first was my Black Cherry 96 crown vic police interceptor. He had it for a month and i told him to check the oil every week and he didn't, got a call that the motor was making a banging noise then it just stopped. Locked that fucker up tighter than shit.

    I got a '93 Ranger (4.0L 5 Speed) with 414,000 miles on it. Sat for 6 years after an offroading incident with a boulder boogered up the front end. This year I finally had the time AND money to rebuild the whole front end, all new parts except the twin I-beams. Derek's videos inspired me to do everything myself. But just like you said, these engines will last forever if ya treat em right. Best trucks ever made.

    I used to be a crew member at the local circle track for two race teams for five years. and I have a little tip for you that will help a lot in the handling department. I'm sure you have heard of a little thing called tire stagger. it's where you air up all the tires to maximum air pressure leave them sit for about an hour. then take a sewing tape measure and measure the diameter of the tires. and then put the largest diameter tire on the right front. and if you have a locked rear end put the next largest tire on the right rear. and put the smallest diameter tire on the left rear. and whatever you have left on the left front. it will make the car turn left by it self. it like taking a paper cup and setting it's side and rolling if. you have an unlocked rear end reverse the stagger in the rear, give it a try.

    I can't see those tires lasting very long without getting cut from contact. I would've followed cleetus' strategy and just put new sticky nitto tires that are radials and tougher and stand the best that'll last the 60 laps. I doubt the ranger is gonna be able to perform good enough for these tires to really shine. I hope he survives the race though cuz I love seeing guys like him win!

    Had Ford made a Ranger with the 4.6 liter V8 they would have had themselves one bad ass little truck. The 2000-05 4x4 Rangers with the step side is one of my favorite trucks from that era they are just under powered but that V8 would have made them a monster.
