My V8 Ranger Project
Ok since I'm going to be posting a lot of pics of my project, I decided to make just one thread.... So here are some pics as of now
^^I decided to install the headers on the old block to see if it hits the bellhousing, since this headers are designed for the ranger and the bellhousing for a mustang, but I got lucky :D
That's it for now. Next thing will be removing the chassis from the body to paint it.

but the one on the motor in the first pic is only bolted with a few bolts and looks un-cut, and the next is fully bolted and looks cut

Keep up the good work! Are those custom bent headers or what? I really like them over my crappy stock cast ones!

Not bein a wizazz or nothin, and not giggin ya...............
But, how bout some details on close to 15g's figure?
Just curious ...............
I've built 2 V8 Ranger's in the past 4 yrs (my Son's 93 & my 94) and don't have 6g's in both of them together, haven't slicked the bodies yet, but both drivetrains are done to include suspension mods...............

^^well everything I have is brand new, even most of the hardware(ARP). Also I bought my engine in pieces but a built 347 stroker from ford or jegs it can cost close to 9g's and that's not including the pulley set, headers and carburator or in my case the efi intake. My engine cost me 12g's but it's done.

also I have the transmission which is a TKO-500 with almost everything to run which cost me 3g's. I hope that answers your question.
Again this my engine
