I dunno much about Rangers, but I know that the ones equipped with a 3.0 are swappable with the engine from a FWD Taurus/Sable, which also makes them swappable with a FWD Escort, Topaz, Tempo, Lynx, Zephyr, and whatever else came with a 1.6/1.9/2.3/3.0/3.2 block.

Of course, anything except the 3.0 and 3.2 require harness/ECU mods.

I'd love to see a Ranger w/ a Turbo 1.6MHO.

RE: The 1998 S10 - My father reports 27-28MPG average on country roads back and forth to work, 65 highest speed. He drives "normal", as well, not short shifting, using his brakes and such like a "good driver". He's coming around to the idea of planning ahead enough to limit brake use, though.
