Sometimes brand loyalty really sucks....

I had a 95 ferd ranger ( little pickup) with stick, some 4 banging, dual coil foreign made engine, it had 335,000 still got 25 mpg and barely ran, I assume it needed a cam but maybe just tuneup!??? when I let a guy BUY IT TO FIX FOR HISSELF...LOL he'a probably still drivin it and getting 25!!!

That engine was 100% Ford: the 2.3 Lima, as used in the Pinto, Mustang, and turbo T-birds! Only major change was a EFI in the 80's and a dual-plug head added around 1994.
