i have been thinking continous about getting rid of my Sport Trac for a something with more power. I have been thinking about my Powerstroke I use for work and the power and mileage it gets. The Sport Trac gets less in both areas. I also have a Volkswagen Jetta TDi for long trips that gets around 50mpg.
I like the size of the Sport Trac and how its easier to get around in tight areas. Well after doing research on various V8 engine swaps (4.6, 5.0). I began to think about a diesel engine swap. The new 2007 Ford Ranger overseas has a 3.0 Liter diesel engine. It has some pretty impressive power numbers. I am not sure what they get for mileage but most diesels get better than there gasoline counterparts.
I am going to look for a wrecked Ranger for this project which I would like to start this coming spring. If anyone has any information about this swap or any information at al,l it will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Devin
