Stock horsepower for the Ranger 2.3 is around 135. The stock European 2.0 with minor racing modifications is 193hp. The racing versions equipped with high compression pistons, cams, etc should make around 300+ hp. Several of my drag racing customers expect to make 500+ with a turbo. The strength of this engine is the block and head...Thank you Cosworth. And thanks to Ford for a new high performance racing option that is also an OEM engine. The old 2.0 and 2.3 sohc "Pinto" engines have served us well!
