I like that idea.
If its a 5 speed then you can get a bellhousing from a 2.3 mustang and use the tranny as well. If its an automatic, ehh, throw it in the trash. The get a explorer 8.8 rear end (find one with disc brakes) and you'll have a quick little truck for not much money.
It's fun to build fast cars/trucks with junkyard parts.

Automatic turd but it's all good. Car body is shot but the interior is in good shape including the seats which would go in a ranger rather nicely. I can find a T-5 transmission pretty easily anyway.
Contemplating options as far as upgrading the engine I'd rather massage it anway. Thinking of doing an efficiency build, porting the heads myself and getting custom cams and an upgraded turbo for the thing. Try to do what I can to improve engine efficiency and have something that'll get pretty good gas mileage.

Yeah, I'm starting to like the idea of doing a turbo build... Hmmm.
