2.5" Functional Steel Hood from airbagit.com. IIRC I paid $250- Last I looked I didn't see it on the website.

Truck looking awesome as always.

Side question: What did you use to paint ur center console? I'm picking one up from the junkyard during the week.

Just though I'd throw this link up for anyone who wants to/has done the S10 tailshaft conversion and wants a short throw shifter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Core-Shifter-w-Hurst-Chrome-Stick-Knob-1982-1995-S10-S15-T5-5-speed-3910033-/360454129316?hash=item53ecbd86a4&item=360454129316&pt=Motors_...

I plan on buying all the pipes and setting it up myself. My Dad welds for a living and we have a beasty Miller thats more than capable of doing exhaust. I priced it out being bored one night and it looks like I'm gonna spend around $400-450 unless I find deals (Headers, Cats, X-pipe, mufflers, 2 set...

The main reason I said RWD is that I figure they're probably cheaper than AWD trucks with similar mileage. I'm probably going with that exhaust setup. I have a couple notebooks full of notes and sketches. I have all the mechanical aspects figured out, probably not ALL I'm fully expecting stuff to co...

Okay. The Tri-Y's I'm looking at have 2.5" Collectors so I'm probably going to run 2.5" all the way out to the tips. I'm going Lightning style like I have now so it will be a rather short system.

Great info, you have helped tons! and thanks for the pic. Are you running 2.5" pipe? I'm pretty sure my exhaust system will consist of: 65-70 Mustang Tri-Y's Magnaflow High Flow Converters (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-59956) Flowmaster 50 series mufflers And probably a X-Pipe looks to...

That sounds exactly like NJ. As far as the equipment is concerned I have all that figured out. But once I get a all clear for the CEL's and inspection I'm going to start the swap. Here's a question for everyone. For exhaust systems I'm trying to figure out what I should go with. I plan on using 65-7...

Good news!!! I'll get over there and shoot him a message asap. Thanks alot for the lead!! And some garages around here used to do massive checks for everything. But NJ passed new rules recently that say as long as the computer passes and there are no major safety issues the vehicle passes. So it jus...

Thank You much. I want to get the motor swapped in and solidly running before getting it repainted, as you can see some body work has been done already. Going with the Black it came with from the factory.

Whats up guys. I'm getting to the point in my project/DD that the motor swap is next on the list. As you can see by my join date i have been gathering info on the 5.0 swap for quite a while. :) Here is my truck: http://i773.photobucket.com/albums/yy11/NVRDONE_Ranger/DSC01551-sized.jpg Here's what I ...
