any ideas on how to get a ford 2.0 to run can't get any power out of mine i am running 1/2 mile asphalt track 373 rear gear in 3rd gear turns around 7300
is it the early 2.0 with 3 cam towers..or is it a newer 2.0 from a Ranger?
not sure about the block but i run a 2300 head on it
There is a problem straight away. The 2300 head will lower the compression ratio unless it has been skimmed a lot. Better to use a 2000 head on the 2000 engine and skim some off it to increase the compression ratio even more.
To my knowledge, the 2.3 head will not fit an early 2.0 pinto block. They will fit a ranger 2.0, but I think tom is right, you need to get all the compression you can, and the late 2.0 is better for that, on that block.
Danny, I believe that the Ranger 2.0 came with a Closed Chamber Round Port head. We have one that we cut to 38 cc's and put on a 2.3 and got plenty of compression. In fact we run that intake I got from you on it. Robertms
Right on Bob, I had a couple of those heads too. If you can get them to good compression they work fine. on the 2.3 block. Glad you have made that intake work.
