In my quest for a daily driver I've come up with an idea and I'm not sure it's feasable.
As you guys may know, I want a Jeep Comanche pickup with a I6 but this may be a tall order, so I started thinking about a Ford Ranger pickup, I like the early body style (83 - 88) and was wondering if I could shoe horn a 250 into the engine bay? I don't have one to measure, but the hood looks as long as the Jeep's.
I need something that I can just drive right now, I don't have the time to try this, so I thought I'd look for a '88, 4x4, extended cab with a V6 that runs good and on down the road maybe see about the swap.
What do you think? Possible (I know anything is possible with enough $$$) but I don't want to go to alot of expense or effort. (the V6 may be fine?)
Thanks,
Mike
