All the regular cab Rangers will have a one(1) peice drive shaft, not sure on the yokes thought.

And all the "super cab" or extended cab will have a two peice shaft and will be much smaller.

Ok Malcolm, see how you had that tiny hole in your cab mounts. Now I don’t have any pictures because I have no batteries what so ever...But anyways, there wasn’t any cab mounts at all, just the rivets were left behind and the cab was just being held up by shear luck. My rad mounts on the other hand ...

Im probably going to stick with the non-HO just because its a freebie and i can upgrade it with the money i saved from not buying a donor. Ill probably rebuild it myself UNLESS i can indeed find a late model stang to use. The EFI fuel pumps on the Ranger are in the gas tank already right, so i don't...

I just want to make sure that the non-HO isnt as gutless as the 3.0 that is currently in it. Save some heart ache thats all. Thing is that the Crown Vic that i have lined up needs to be rebuilt, so its really a toss up, do i want to spend the money on a total donor (motor/trans/harness) or keep the ...

Ahh ok thanks I forgot where your page was on the swap.

I would really like to use the HO 5.0L but if it means i have to ditch my free donor then its wont matter to me.

What are the horsepower/ft. pound numbers of the HO as opposed to the non-HO?

Thanks again.
