There was a ton of discussion about this topic a few months to year or two ago. Duratec into a RX7 discussion as I recall. Grant Hughes Please Login or Register to post a reply

What I have read says the ranger crank does not like much over 7,250. If you want to spin that fast you are going to have to spring for one of the steel Mazda cranks, which I do not know if it came in the 2.3L displacement, or aftermarket. Check out SBD or Cosworth.
