My Ranger has the Mazda .80 OD 5 speed and a 3.45, with the old iron 2.3 4 cylinder. Why not a turbo 2.3 with the 5 speed and 3.45. same setup if I turboed my Ranger. Look at my Ranger fuel log, close to 30 MPG (US) overall. Might save you some cash and still offer decent performance. I had a 59 350 Corvette a long time ago thathad a 3.08 and a Muncie wide ratio and got 21 average andwould do 140 in 3rd.
