Anyone know if our engine shares the same bolt pattern as other Ford 2.3 engines? Was thinking about finding an old Ford ranger with a 2.3 or maybe an old mustang that had the 2.3 and putting one of my extra engines in it. Just curious if the trans will bolt up easily to our engines.
 
I have another complete car. I was just thinking about pulling all the electronics and swapping over to something else. I use the other car for parts and was going to build 2 speeds but I’d rather put the engine and all the parts I’m taking off like the CST4 3.5” intake and put in to something rear wheels drive.

But what YEAR ranger/mustang are you talking about putting the engine into? The old 2.3 from a SVO/Thunderchicken/Ranger isnt the same as our blocks.

Ok thanks. That’s what I was hoping for. Figured i would be able to find one of those pretty cheap.
 
The old sohc 2.3 is completely different but actually came as a turbo model as well in some cars.
