Alright i have a couple of updates.

I recently purchased a set of headman ranger 302 conversion headers and painted them up nice and pretty.

bought a whole new steering gear for the ranger. paid 150 bucks for everything from the steering wheel down to the pitman arm. i wound up using my existing steering stalk because my truck is a xlt king cab and has cruise control and such.

i got the steering done, and now all that is left is to get a set of lift leaf springs for the rear and buy a 347 stroker kit for the truck.

on to the pictures:





painted the frame



drag link all welded and painted



also bought a new grille from the same guy and i had to put my old rangers ovals on it



new clean painted steering wheel and column



cleaned and painted power steering box



finally! steering is complete

 

Looking good Big. Keep up the progress. I like this build thread.

 

finally coming together man!

 

Update.

I have grown tired of the ranger sitting in the garage , so i decided to get on the ball and get some stuff done.

the truck will be running by december. so with that being said here are some pictures:

I took the motor down to the machine shop, got it bored .030 over, ordered a eagle 306 kit, ordered a ford racing f cam, a new double roller timing chain, new lifters, new gaskets and some good 'ole ford blue engine paint.





im going tomorrow to pick up an hei distributor, and a holley 650 double pumper.

ordered a new cam bolt, head studs, main studs, stainless intake bolts, and chromolly rod bolts,

ive ported and polished my heads, intake and gasket matched all the gaskets.

here is a picture of the motor partially assembled:



thats it for now.
