That's probably because you aren't using L&L mounts or Explorer front accessories. . I used the stock V6 mounts and made the flat plates....... The front engine accessories are off a Ford, Crown Victoria. Except the alternator, That's a 1 wire GM.. lol... The newer Ranger's must be a couple inc...

Is there that much more room in the newer Rangers to be able to use a thicker radiator, and in the stock location???? There was no way I could use a stock radiator in the stock location in my 86.... I had to tuck it up under the core support with a custom made radiator and used two low profile elect...

I used my stock V6 mounts and made the plates.. here are a couple pics. If you look, you can see I had to make the drivers side plate thicker than the passanger side. And you can see where I had to notch the frame on the passanger side. http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg162/dyb003/Engineandcrank0...

Sounds good to me... I am so sick of winter.... And we just got another 7 inches of snow sunday night.... The wife and I just went down to Florida last week. I hated coming home to the snow, but was glad to get home.. Spring cant get here fast enough.....

They are GT-40 heads. They do have the 3 lines on them. You just cant see them in the pic....

I have my truck insured through Hagerty. I have it valued at $6000 with them. Its full coverage, collision, comp, glass, towing. No deductible.... $172.00 a year... No mileage restrictions or times of the year I cant drive it. This is my 3rd year with them...

The brace that goes from the alt braket to the intake, I had to do a little modifications to it. I little cutting and re-welding so it would fit the carb intake.. You have to make sure you get the spacer in the lower mounting hole perfict.. If you dont, you end up breaking off the ear. Trust me, I d...

If you look, you can see the brace going to the intake. What I used was the mounting brakets from a 90's 5.0 crown vic. I also had to make a spacer to keep the alt forward. I used a brake caliper slider and drilled it out for the bolt. then ground it down to fit. when I use to work at a shop I alway...

All mine fits under the hood with no problems. I am running a paxton with about 6psi of boost. I only get about 10 to 12mpg around town.. But when you have a supercharger under the hood, you always end up playing.. I love mine, it realy woke things up. I havent taken it on any trips to see wht kind ...

No, not that much more at all. Maybe another 1/4 of an inch. Ya, the picture makes it look more red than i...

The housing where the treads are cracked when I was trying to get it turned just a little more. When I got the new housing and gasket, it wasnt a problem getting it where I needed it to be. But with the old gasket I couldnt, thats why It ended up breaking. Here is a pic of where mine it sitting. I t...

They will break pretty easy if you go to far... I broke mine when I had the engine out last month. I had to get a new one and a new gasket, then I was able to get it where it needed to be...

Yes, you are right, I forgot that the pump in the tank was a low pressure pump in the early years...

The pump is still in gas tank on my 86 and I dont have any problems being able to pull gas threw it. I am using an inline pump and its mounted in the engine bay. So, yes, you can leave it in there. Just unhook the power wire to it. Or pull the fuse or relay...

Yes, I know what you mean, Its at about 10 or 11. I think its closer to 11
