87 turbo ranger
figured its time for a build thread instead of posting a bunch of new threads1987 regular cab ford ranger....well not your typical ranger under the hood....2.3l turbo swap from a thunderbird turbo coupe, running 15psi.
wideband and front mount will be done in the next week or so.

plan to slam it in the near future on some 17" svt cobra rims

i did the metal work myself,
engine is just a stock thunderbird turbo coupe 2.3l turbo, boost bumped up to 15psi and front mount intercooler in the very near future.
finally got some more parts! my innovate LC-1 wideband controller finally came and is installed, so nice to know my air/fuel at 5000rpm and 15psi. also picked up a set of 17" svt cobra rims, only down side is now it desperately needs to be slammed.
on to the pictures
a/f gauge location is only temporary
this is what i see at night
the rims

The bumper on the Mazda looks like one in a thread I can't find anymore. The guy was local to you and trying to sell them. Is it the same one/guy?
Have you considered doing something unique with that intercooler? I was thinking mounting it over the passenger tire and having an offset scoop on the hood. I've seen it done on dubs and scoobs and it looks cool and different.

I'm running 17inch svt cobras on the 8.8. i did have to roll the fenders and use a belch 6400 shackle after the spring under for them to clear. i don't bottom out under normal driving, rides real nice. though i do plan to notch and box the frame. i just used the stock explorer mounts with some toxic drop shocks

yes with the stock shackles, the axle was about an inch from the frame and the tires were tucked in the wheel wells at all times, i plan to lower the whole truck more once i get adjustable camber bushings and notch the frame
