almost their mark... almost...

 

killer mark killer. I did drive a Ranger before with a 5.0 and you'll love the hell out of it. You'll have like a 54 to 46 power to weight ratio and it will indeed flat out fly. Congrats my friend and enjoy.

 

i know how much you all like pictures. lol. But i dont know if i already told you but my camera took a crap.

An i know some of you are prob. thinkin that im jus all talk.lol. but i promise you im not.

Jus taking longer than usual due to law enforcement academy, and not knowing some things and having to do alot of searching to figure it out.

I promise once i get a camera, there will be pics. maybe not start to finish, but atleast there will be something.

And thanx for everyones in put and knowledge. Stick in there with me. its almost done.lol

 

That's kool man. I know how you feel. 04Blackedge was the only one that showed me how to post pics up on here. I'll drop in and see how you're doing from time to time, I just got too much **** to do.

 

Update: Truck is started! FINALLY! Now just a minor few things, organizing, a couple of more connections and im all done.

But there is a couple of more questions i got...

I have the C4 transmission but i dont know how to hook up the shift linkage, can any post some pics of what you did, or tell me what to get.

Also, my throttle cable...what do i have to get to hook that up? pics would be great.

thank you guys for all your help so far.

 

Can't remember the detail on your setup. For trans, I used the explorer 4R70W and the explorer shift cable. All bolted right up. For a C4, not sure.

If you used explorer EFI engine, use the explorer throttle cable and bracket - bolts right in.

 

The engine is a 94 f-150 5.0. (origonally EFI) decided to convert it to a carbuerated engine. i have a Holly 650 carb.

 

finally started, cool deal man

 

ok does anyone know how to run the return line for the fuel? my carb. keeps flooding.

if so whats the easiest way? and wha i need.

 

You need to run a fuel system that delivers about 5~10 PSI to the carb. Your stock 02 EFI pump is regulated to 65 PSI! You don't need a return line if you run a pump designed for a carburetor.

If you want to keep the stock 65 PSI pump, you would need a special conversion regulator and a return line. The return line would need to be fabbed and added.

Either way, you would need to get creative.

 

yea..i got the fuel regulator which i can adjust, so i ran the fuel line to the IN port of the regulator. then i ran a line from the OUT port to the carb.

now i found out that my regulator has an extra OUT port for the excess fuel. So now i have to connect a line from the extra OUT port running all the way back to my tank and that will act as my return line.

Ok so my other question is... when i run the return line back to the tank,i would have to drill a hole in my tank and put the return line in that hole at the top of the tank?

O yea..and how easy is it to take off my bed?

 

remove 6 bolts and call a few friends to lift if off.

oh yea, disconnect the fuel fill neck, and take the wires off the tail lights, that should be it.

 

You don't even need 2 my 14 year old brother and me lifted mine off.

 

sorry.

 

ok cool. sounds pretty easy. thanx.

now for the fuel again... i think theres two options for the return line...tell me wha you think or jus say hell no u dumba$$ what are you thinking.lol.

1) i can run the line directly to the tank by driiling a hole into the tank and putting it in.

or...

2) i can run the line back to my V6 return line thats connected to my fuel filter ( basically unplug the return line out of the filter and connect it to my return line coming from the regulator).

 

ok...update: finally figured out the fuel situation.

Now...onto the throttle linkage.. im just going to get the Lokar throttle cable & bracket.

Then...try and figure out what to do for my shifting. if any one has an idea, please let me know.

 

Check out B&M's site, last time I was Megashifter shopping they had shifter linkage diagrams (stock and shifter adapter diagrams) on their page in .PDF format. Probably have to download an installation manual.

 

Sorry I had 2....

 

Well im pretty sure u, were in the same shoes i am when u were first starting to work with trucks and stuff

But its all good. ill eventually learn alot down the road.

 

Last things to get done before its ready to hit the road...

Dual flowmaster 40's...

Get a driveshaft made...and im done.

And ive also decided im not going to lift my truck. Ima try and lower the truck about an inch (if possible). And get the Black 03 Cobra wheels. So now i have to sell my 15x10 pro comp 8069.

 

Sorry for those who were intrested in the wheels, but i am no longer going to sell them. (wife bought them for me for christmas, and she found out. lol)

 

be sure to get some pics and vids up when yer done.
