Re: Sway bars

Alot of Rangers came with swaybars from the factory and so they should be very easy to find in the wrecking yards. My 94 came stock with from and rear swaybars and I put a rear one on my sons 94 reg cab when we swapped rear ends. Should be very easy to find. Good luck......Mike. :mrgreen:

Re: Fuel System Diagram, Approve Disapprove?

From what I see the drawing looks good. I am a big fan of building a bigger fuel system then you need right from the start. You you build a system that fits your applacation and later decide to up grade for more power then you will need to upgrade your fuel system again. If you build it bigger then ...

Re: WOW........

Yep, kind of dead lately! Got thru the hot weather and stayed in working on the neglected house. When it did cool off, it rained. When that stopped, had to mow grass, so long it leaves rows that I aim to pick up the next day but then rain again. Trying to put some fence up but had to dig the holes ...

Re: L&L Mounts... anyoen use them ?

NICE mounts Mike..... what you charge me to make a set and send them to me ???? You can make them just as easy as I did. I didnt have any special tools to make them. I used a harbor freight die grinder with cutting wheel, stock V8 Explorer upper motor mounts, 1 1/2" tubing .095 wall, 3/16"...

Re: L&L Mounts... anyoen use them ?

I made my last set of engine mounts for my 83 Ranger. I was into my custom made mounts for less then $30 and I will never go back to store bought mounts again. The nice thing was I set my engine to where I wanted it and built them from there using all the holes that were already there. Easy to make ...

Re: winter project 5.0 s10

I say put the Ford 302 in the S10. The show trucks did the LS swap into a 4x4 S10 blazer and it was alot of work just to get the engine to fit becuse of the LS's oil pan design. The LS is so typical :roll: so be very diffrent. :mrgreen:
