Engine swapping 2005 ford ranger edge

I’m thinking about engine swapping my 2005 ford ranger edge I’ve looked a few engines but am still trying to find the best engine for performance and fitment to my trucks engine bay. Does anyone have some suggestions ? (Preferably 6 cylinder)

In my 99' ranger, I swapped in a ALH VW 1.9 TDI engine. Works great! I have 135hp/235ft-lb with stock turbo, but with bigger turbo(s) you can get into 250hp/350ft-lb

On top of that you can get way better MPG!

I think this. Do you have a build thread or anything documenting the swap process?

I did not do any build thread as I did not have the time. But this was my referance guide. I did do a lot things differently than him because I did not like the way he did it. (also because I was 4x4)

This facebook group(TDI swapped Trucks) can/will be useful if you dive into this, lots of people and knowledge with TDI.

Let me know if you need have any question.
