How do you plan on loading the front half onto the trailer.
I bet those lines are for the rear heat. |
btw not bored! a guy at work is making a trip to NC tomorrow, I told him I would drive split the gas, well he had to go home and talk with his wife, guess she didnt want to? But that is why I started ripping into it last night. Got to get the ranger done tonight or tomorrow.

I bet those lines are for the rear heat. Loading will be easy with bobby (Bobcat skid steer), unloading well, someone just needs to push it off. :crazy: |

lessons learned.. dont cut freon lines (stinks) a navigator has radiator lines going the rear? even if a vehicle has not ran in a while its still got gas in the line the front of a navigator is still very heavy. Your towing the ranger down with the one fiddy and the engine on the trailer I am guessing correct? |
nah just taking the navigator down right now. that way Nick can tear into the engine and get it ready.
|
Damn you, now i want a 5.4 in my reg cab. Supercharge that ***** so i can get new tires every month.
Reg Cab 5.4 on 22's. Hmmmmmm... Go go Zach! cant wait to see it done. |
we have a lot of waiting ahead of us. not gonna put it in the ranger till the end of summer.

We need pics of the half navigator.
|

|
ah crap i forgot to take pics! ill have to remember tomorrow night. sorry guys.
|
Damn Beard, this is awesome, can't wait to see the progress come along and eventually the finished product... Ure a genius Beard, pure GENIUS... I knew you'd put a Ford power plant in it!!! : )
|
Yep, definately glad its still pure bred Ford... the 6.0 c"heavy" LS engine would have been a PITA and lots of people disagree with cross breeding, including me lol. Man, this is just gonna be awesome. I can't wait to see the finished project... I actually am thinking about a road trip to Indiana at the end of the summer now...

I have to ask(I dunno if you have answered, don't wanna read 8 pages), why a 5.4 4V motor?? There really aren't any gains over the 4.6 4V and parts are somewhat cheaper and more attainable. Was it just what was available or was it your first choice?? |
That was my first choice. I wanted a DOHC and either 4.6 or 5.4 the 5.4 was first preference, just because its bigger. lol

You know when you get that motor in you have to 4 link the rear on coilovers right???? I dont think it will work unless you do haha, you should do that soon cause you would have a buyer for those leaf springs
|
my leaf springs are Alcan chevy springs.
I am gonna 4 link it but not until after the motor. because I am going to 4 link/cage/backhalf/bumpers/whatever else is needed at that time. |
you just cant stop can you. lol
|
now whats the fun in that? it might slow down after the engine. I need to buy a house!
|
ha! im one step ahead of you. mine will be done in may. then i get to start back on my truck. lol
i might have missed this but what trans/tcase combo are you runnin with this swap? |
