get a good engine for Ford

Anyone know where I can get a good engine for my Ford?—By Markus
It’s a 1990 Ford Ranger 2wd 5speed 2.9L v6. It only runs on 5 of the 6 cylinders. A mechanic recomended a new cam and lifters. Today I noticed some drops of oil in the drive way. Any suggestions on whats wrong with it or suggestions on fixing? I’ve been looking for a new engine but I don’t have $1600 laying around. (And no I won’t consider buying a new truck)

Would check interchange and go with a 3.0 liter vulcan motor if possible . They are cheap and abundant as Ford made them for a long time . Go with newer than 92 to get roller cam and better heads . The 2.9 had major head trouble and they do make an improved head in the aftermarket industry . Good Luck and hope it works out for you .

You may want to check out your local craigslist or ebay. I got mine at ebay, by contacting the guy the sell the engine and he have hundreds of them in his warehouse. Although, it is a little expensive going threw the ebay, but well worth it.
