Wow, I'm ADHD and I still read that entire article, awesome putting together the pieces of fiction VS reality meets product review.

Was just eating some Venison sausage a friend gave me for lunch, and thought of you

Probably reasonable weather still down where you are, have you worked on your truck?

I don't hunt either but about half the people I know do.

You have created a new hunting season.

Bow season

Rifle season

Ranger season

Glad nobody was hurt, sorry about your truck

When is deer season in your area? Ours was last week, we see a lot more accidents during this time.
Are you OK?

Not one to normally dig up virtually year old threads but it is relevant.

Glad V-8 is back

Looks like a good time! I'll admit I didn't know about it till you said something. I plan on working on my Ranger that saturday but I should be able to make it there for a while any way. I'll let you know if I'm going to be there perhaps we can say hi :) I'm not taking any cash though LOL I don't tr...

Bought a Cloyes but went simple and got a stock replacement C3206. I just want to get the thing together and drive it. This is one of two projects, the minute it gets on the road I'm buying a 4WD version and starting that. I already told my wife I'm collecting rangers from now till the day I pass (o...

Well I'm going to try my best to juice it up a little. I have some ideas and would even be willing to "invest" a little if anyone is interested. The art of converting a ranger to V8 is like the coolest thing on the planet in my opinion, and I'm sure there are enough people doing it to supp...

Was going to buy one on your suggestion, the summit site says that 1997 it only fits 351? Mine is a 1997 5.0 from a mountaineer. They have others they say will fit.. Here is the one I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-block-Ford-289-302-5-0-timing-chain-torrington-thrust-true-roller-Mustang-/281...

I bought a transmission for one but couldn't find an entire vehicle that was not 4WD. Would have been nice LOL. So today I get both the old motor mounts out and start measuring. It looks as if the lower height of the original driver side mount compliments the brackets perfectly. ? So I did a more ta...

Since this is the only V8 ranger specific forum on the internet (it really is) I am choosing to vent here. The views expressed are those of my own and no animals will be harmed during this post. My swap is killing me. I wish someone would just tell me it really can't be done and I would cut my losse...

WOOT!

Only if you start with a torsion bar ranger evidently. I have a new set of expo mounts and the angle is wrong. I read that for a coil spring ranger you needed to use 4.0 motor mounts and adapter plates. There was a guy on the now defunct RPS forum that was selling them a few years back and since thi...

Do you know if the Anchor brand 2850 and 2851 are directly compatible with the ford Yl5Z-6038-CB Passenger side mount and Yl5Z-6038-CA Driver side mount? Also would you happen to have a spare set of the 5.0 adapter plates? I have the Amhurst Design drawings and can make my own..would save a lot of t...

I bet that's a phpBB bug. You have to be kidding. phpBB has bugs? Would have never thought that :) I'm not going to worry about the tach for this swap, it isn't an issue. The concept of dropping every 4th pulse seems easy enough. Since mine was a 4 cyl I would have to drop every other pulse (which ...
