- After taking out the head gasket last year, stumbling on a bigger cam and ported head combo, it just made sense to take the leap and do it, because why not? Of course this meant changing a few things, including the ignition system, intake system, PCV system, oil catch can location and adapting it to the microsquirt stand alone. Oh, it also needed a nicer header and three inch exhaust so we kinda did that too. Who likes 4 cyl Chop?

Sounds good for a little banger !
I believe they used the same engine in the Ford Ranger mini truck for several years, and a few other cars. They were really tough little engines from what I remember !
Yes they did, I believe there was even a racing series with the trucks too!
This gives me a bit of hope. I'm almost done putting a 2.3T from a Merkur in a 61 Falcon. I have a Racer Walsh cam with 480 lift and was hoping for a little chop. No muffler for me either... It'll get a downpipe through the fender, and that's about it.
Awesome 😊💯💥👍🏿
Sounds awesome man…. I had 3” system no muff on a mk2 escort boosted to 14 psi, nowhere near as raspy as that. That cam is perfect. Tho you totally lose the “sleeper spec. 🤣🤣👍👌❤️. Keep up the great work 👍
This is the way. I thought I was ambitious tossing an b230 into a 144 and here you are humbly raising the bars (figuratively and literally) by fording an Amazon and adding snails. Amazing.
NICE
Pretty cool.
Them 2.3 where bad ass for their time Jack roush had one 650 horsepower
Skip to 22 minutes for cam noises.
Sounds epic! How does it run under WOT Boost? Any Missfire?
So far we’ve only had it running at idle, going to get the car back together hopefully this weekend and start tuning on the road, but no misfire yet!!
i want to do a similar build for my ranger, you know the whp for this build?
I don’t know the whp yet, aiming for 350-400 with the stock rods…..for now
where did you find the cam for it?
The cam is from Esslinger I happen to find this one locally in Manitoba
@@customizer4life alrighty I'll start looking around lol
Ooooh lumpy tractor noises ...
