Hi Rich,

If it is really a 1997 Ranger, it can´t be a 2.8 V6. The Rangers only came with the 2.8 V6 in 1983-1985. After that, they went with the 2.9, 3.0 and 4.0 V6s. Sometimes the owner doesn´t really know what he has.

Thanks Jose,

I understand what you are saying, but I'm not going the extra mile to qualify the leads. I figure if someone is interested they'll answer the ad and get the details.

Hi Rich,

I wasn´t trying to teach you something you already know, Iwanted to let others know that they need to know what years are correct. I appreciate all the help you give the Dark Side croud in finding the necessary parts for the conversion.

No offense meant or taken....

Sorry if my response was a short. My first Grandson was born last night and I'm a little light on sleep.

Did anyone check on the ad? Jose is correct of course, 97 is to late for the 2.8. I didn't catch it when I listed it here.

Hi Cooper12,

All the 2.8 V6´s Years 1974-1979 and 1983-1985), no matter which vehiucle they come in, (Mustang II, Mustang, Pinto, Bobcat, Capri, CapriII, Aerostar van, Ranger, Bronco II) are the same on the outside and will fit any Series Alpine.

Any other year than the above years is not a 2.8 V6. The 1972-1973 Capris did have a 2.6 V6 that will also fit the Alpines, but they are obsolete and parts for them are scarce and expensive, so I don´t recommend them.
