1983 ford ranger top speed?

I have a 1983 ford ranger 2.3 literthat i'm getting running wondering top speed and acceleration thanks! Bought it cheap restoring it.

Added (1). I'm just curious I know its not fast but I was driving it home and it topped out at about 57 and I have a feeling it will go faster but I won't know until I get it fixed which could be a long while, the carb. Was ****** and all the vacuum lines are plugged its along way before its restored.

Its… Well you got it cheap. What does it matter.Honestly its a 4 banger don't get your hopes up especially if its a automatic

Top speed is probably around 90-100mph or so downhill with a strong tail wind. I wouldn't test that though. Acceleration will be glacial. Probably a 0-60 in the 9 second range.

85 mph. 0-60 in 15 seconds

  • What is the top speed for a 1993 ford explore cut 4x4 v6? I want to buy me the 93' but I want speed, does anyone know the top speed for the 93 explore in mph
  • What do you think of the 1983 - 88 Ford Ranger design w/the 2.0 - 2.3 Liter OHC (pinto) engines? I'm just wondering. I use to own an 84 model w/a 2.3L in it and it seems like an easy to fix and reliable truck so I want to purchase another one that I seen off the internet for like a 1,000 dollars.
  • I want to change my L4 1983 Ranger into a V6? I have a 1983 Ford Ranger L4 2.0 4 speed transmission base model. I'm having engine problems with it. Needs work but i want to put a V6 in it and convert to 4wd. Don't wanna sell it nor junk it. I want a shot at this. This model and yr came with a 2.8 L V6 engine. Would that be sufficient power for the pickup? To convert the pickup to 4wd, what front axle would work best?
  • Can I make my five speed to a six speed? I have a 91 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 five speed. I know it's not an idea vehicle to fix but I enjoy the vehicle much. I would to fix it up, I know to give it a better performance that I have to make a lot of things custom. One thing I'd like to do is change it to a six speed, would it be wise to do so and is it possible? I'm hoping for a little bit gas mileage doing this and maybe faster acceleration?
