That is exactly what I have. 94 Ranger short bed with a 95 Mustang GT donor car. Wiring is not that big of deal if you have the wiring diagrams for the Ranger and the Mustang. I just used colored highlighters and traced almost every wire. I used both harnesses and graphed them together. I used the r...

It's been a while since I posted here but I'm always checking up on everybody's projects. A quick refresher of what I have. 94 Ranger reg. cab short bed with 95 mustang donor. T5 manual, 347 shortblock with steel crank and H beam rods from CHP (Coast High Performance). E303 cam with motorsport 1:6 r...

jbaer619,

On my 94, I cut and routed the first two tubes around the stock steering shaft. The set up you have looks pretty nice. Where did you get it? Or is it a collaboration of parts th make it work? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

On the subject of Jet Hot or ceramic coating, I got mine coated at a local shop called Young Guns. I too am disappointed in the heat containment. Not even close to advertised. Under my hood feels the same as if they were bare. The guy explained to me that you could use mothers aluminum polish to res...

On mine, I used steel an fittings and soldered them on to the fuel pump. From there on out mine looks a lot like Chris's. I ran the lines outside the frame rail but I used a 95' mustang fuel rail with the stock fuel pressure regulator. I would love to post pics but I am brain dead in the computer de...

Latest update. A buddy of mine had a new medium duty truck pump laying around and thought it might work. Sizing it up, it looked as if the mounts were identical. The only super noticeable thing was that there wasn't the fan behined the pulley and there was a 1" intake tube on the side of the pu...

Yeah. I replaced it with a remanufactured one and was wondering if I should bite the bullet and buy a brand new Ford one. I did the tests it describes in the Ford shop manuals like pulling of the hoses at the bypass and diverter valves and see if there is adequate air flow at each port. It seems to ...

Not at all. Everything including the heads and air tubing is brand new. During one of the KOER tests, I took an air compressor hose and shot it into the air tubing that goes to the heads and the thermactor codes disappeared. As expected, all I got was an O2 sensor too lean code. To me, that proves t...

Here is an update on what is going on with the smog pump issue. I did put a stock set of pulleys on my truck and ran the codes. All I got now is code 311 which is only the passender side. I'm thinking why can't the air pump overcome the exhaust pressure? Afterall I have larger headers, larger exhaus...

I know there are some pretty smart guys in here so I will send you this question. I have an appointment with the referee station tomorrow to get my truck smog certified in California. But I have a problem. I am getting running codes of 311 and 314 thermactor left and right malfunction. I have been t...

They are vented rotors. You are probably right about some of the parts fitting other vehicles. I can't believe they would make parts specific to one vehicle due to cost. I wouldn't even know how to trace these out.

I believe they are unique to the kit from ssbc. However, they will probably last 80K miles, I'm not worried. I don't think they are available at any auto parts store....not sure. Hmmmm

I believe that they get adjusted when you step on the brakes while going in reverse. It should, if necessary move one click. The process gets repeated when you brake forward and then brake in reverse again. Think I got this right. Just for the record, I am a disc fan. I agree that the drums are more...

If you are having it rebuilt, you don't need a shift kit. If it is the firmer shifts you desire, I believe they can tweek the servos and or springs. Also if it will be mostly street driven, a stall converter will do nothing but make a ton of unwanted heat. Just some things to look into..........

I am having a problem with evacuating all the air out too. Now that I have a tig welder, I was going to make an aluminum expansion tank (degas bottle, surge tank, whatever they call it) to help with purging the air. I am going to mount it on the passenger inner fender well. In turn, I will weld the ...
