I thought we were talking V8 Ranger as well.

It sounds to me like you're beating a dead horse. Let him waste his money on the POS Ford and then beat the pants off of him and then say "I told you so". Some people have to learn the hard way.

all his friends including myself drive chevys and he even admits he will never be faster. its like he accepts that ford is junk, yet still likes them. maybe a test drive would change his mind.

Man let him buy the ford!! I have to tell you in the video of me vs. the Tundra it feels great to beat someone by so many lengths that they are not even in the video when you break the beams!
i have no doubt i will blow his doors of, in his price range he poses no threat to me with a ford or a chevy. so i would rather see him get a older slow tbi chevy then a turd mega slow 302... oh well, hes just another ignorant ford fan. he has yet to back up why he likes ford with any reason at all. if he wants to be dumb about it he deserves to make that mistake again, maybe after two times his next truck will be a gm.

I am with Quik. A nicely modded 302 would move a little Ranger around pretty damn well. A 351 and 460 are not performance motors by any means. They are freakin heavy ass truck motors with low compression that put out good amounts of low end torque--for a Ford POS motor. IMHO, the last good motor Ford made WAS the 302...
But when you say 'car,' what car is it? The only thing I remember Ford putting the lethargic 3.0L motor in was the 4-door Tempo, first Gen Probe, and the Taurus... But then I look back to see that in your first post, you call it a 'turd Ranger...'

i refer to the ranger as a car, as it has no capabilities you would expect from a truck, is very cramped, and low to the ground. i can honestly say a vw bug is much roomyer inside and faster, sad. i dont think the 351 is too bad of a motor, there is alot of aftermarket for it just like the 302, only the 302 is TINY. 330 is about all you can even get out of that little block. good motor for a mustang, not a truck imo. hes dead set on this one truck now... sclb 4x4 94 with a 302 and whatever auto they had, i think hes going to look at it this weekend.
