right on. I'd love to just bore mine out and beef it up since I already have it. plus they have pretty good room to grow and parts are cheeeap. I just want to run it with minimal wiring cause its just a cluster ef in my engine bay since my inner fenders are gone

 

Ya but really when you break it down theres not many wires for the efi part of it the engine harness is really minimal actually. Its all the other BS in the new trucks that sucks like the abs all types of unneeded sensors, im thinning out as much as i can with mine for a cleaner look and less weight. Probably got 5lbs of wires out right now lol

 

He's right right andy. All you'd need is the basics.

 

yep and thats all I want. i dont want any a/c, heat, smog crap, abs, etc. cause its just a race truck now basically. Just want the injectors to work..about it lol

 

Hey Adrian, sorry I hadn't responded to this. I will try and get them out and get dims and good pics of them.

I'm really thinking maybe I can get the motor rebuilt maybe before end of June and hopefully take the ranger to the dunes and then take it down for rebuild after. Just really itchn to bash it out there

 

Just got my summit catalog today. They have a federal mogul rebuild kit with .30 over pistons for 392 bucks. All gaskets freeze plugs ect. Figured I would pass that info along to you

 

thanks! i vote yes on duct taping it together to go bash before rebuild

 

Blow it up! Blow it up! Blow it up! Hahaha

 

Think I'd get a ticket from the dezert popo if I blew the motor up and got oil all over?

 

meh.

 

Depends on the awesomeness that led to the engine blowing up

 

Way to much of a fine then it's worth yes. I bet it be a big ticket

 

Oil comes from the sand.... Your giving back to mother earth. :)

**** if you dig deep enough they may never find out... Haha

 

Sand would absorb the oil, we could all run over and kick the sand on it and call it good.
Then tow your *** back to the park and call it a day.

 

a fine because your engine goes... thats stupid. but doesnt surprise me

 

You can tell he was joking. Right....?

 

Any updates? blow up that 5.0 yet? lol

 

Time for a progress report Andy, what's goin on?

 

agreed. havent seen anything in ages.

 

haha sorry I haven't been on here in ages. nothing really for an update, the truck is half tore apart on jackstands right now. I plan to start getting some work done on it soo..I can't stand to see it just sit there. I need to get all the shocks off and suspension arms,hangers, leafs etc and get everythig cleaned up and repainted. then get the motor out and on a stand and start rebuilding it, or see if I can anyways depending on what I find. I have a coolant leak on the upper intake of the Nova I'm going to fix this weekend, then Its ranger time!

I'll get some pics this weekend

 

Did you decided on a paint scheme for the bumpers and everything. I was hoping for pictures of a fully rebuilt truck.

 

I haven't been on for a while but you got it back?

 

I'm thinking either a satin/flat blue body with silver tube,a-arms etc, or metallic gunmetal. Or black body with metallic gunmetal

Yeah mang! Little rustier and needs a motor rebuild but I got it back.

 

thats awesome....ill trade you a wittle 2wd ranger for it lol

 

Any updates Andy?
