Been telling zach not to do a 302 for a while......I was pushing 460....but this will work!

 

Good luck Beard and Nick. By the time I'm back from Basic training and AIT school it should be done.

 

it will be for sale soon enough

i like the no shipping idea. you may get bumped to first place.


lol it wont fit on a manual will it?

 

I already have one lol best thing i have done to my truck so far

 

Damn,
Subscribed for sure. So was the thread on the 302's just to throw us off?

Bravo to have the cajones to do this.

 

hmm i dont know. If he can pick it up let him have first...

But the tail housing should be just fine for my tranny

 

nah it was to figure out what i wanted to do.

 

How exactly do you plan to fit that monster in your truck?

I see lots of sawzall in your future?

 

I have a 3" BL, it will fit. You do know its about the same width as a 4.6?

I dont have near the restrictions as a stock truck. its just got to fit under the hood and between the frame rails.

 

I would cut your firewall and move the engine back as far as possible.

 

plenty of room

 

That was fast! Nick does good work

 

Zabeard's addicted to all the rounds they do, when all the 4 cams are spinnin and creatin' power...

-shaneified lyric by saving abel.

 

I'm lovin it! I'm curious where the funding for all these projects comes from, it's just never ending with you. I must be doing something wrong here...lol

3rd in line for the tcase if the price is right lol

 

From a wheeling stand point moving the motor as far back as you can would be a huge advantage.

 

yup and that is the plan. i dont want all that weight hanging on the front end.

 

You would be golden if you could fit about 6-8" of the motor in the cab. Granted you most likely wouldnt be able to use your stock dash though.

 

Will your new coilovers handle the extra weight? Or are you gonna have to get stronger coils?

 

its going to be stock on the inside, although i see your point but Nick is also doing this as a 'I can do this' for his business so we are keeping it as close to stock looking as possible.

I think I went a bit too stiff this first time around and the extra weight should help smooth it out.

When I choose my coil springs i went 250 tender and 350 main, I should have gone with a 225 or a 210 on the tender. Or ran a triple which would make it ride smoother on the road.

 

You have gotta be kidding me....

 

Here ya go Zach! This is the DOHC 32 valve 5.4L with a supercharger on it.
I took these photos at SEMA in Las Vegas at the Ford Exhibit:

So beard...is it gonna be a pretty clean engine bay? i mean....not a humongo amount of hoses laced throughout the engine bay, no insane amount of plastics showing and etc?

 

only one suggestion right now. take the exhaust outside the frame rails. will make your life much easier from what ive seen of mod swapped rangers.

 

what you gonna do with your exhaust on the 4.0?

 

The only problem with that is they will interfere with slidders unless he can route it above them.
