Got the Engine bay painted, corvette red, really nice deep color. :D Unfortunately some where along the way somebody stole the passenger side air bag. :cry: Got the Truck back from the folks towing it and the cover was hanging by the modulator wires. How hard are they to replace and is a salvage yar...

cgrey8- Yep! that answers this set of questions but I'll probably have a million more before I'm done. Thank you again. Hoping to put the engine and trany together this week!!

Thank you.

I am being a little lazy. I got the pit (as in money) in to get the engine bay painted (corvett red with a touch of tint to darken it) yesterday. When I get the truck back the engine should go in for the last time (hope fully). I was wondering what throttle cable do you use and how do you run it? I ...

Thank you, I just got to looking at it and wondered. I was up in Atlanta last week end. I live in Augusta, good to know there is another GA 8V Ranger around. How do you do with the pollution auto inspection? I am planing on not using the pollution controls since the folks taht did my exhust left out...

Thank you cjcnomor-4. Hyanes manuals are about next to worthless except for torque specs.

I am full opf questions to day. On the 97 Ranger there is a "rubber" U joint set up for the steering column. This rubber joint sets very close to the headers. Any one have any experiance with a problem with this" rubber" set up? I am wondering if I need to go to a metal U joint f...

I got two mugs and they are really nice. Good job Malcolm.

Getting ready to take the project "money pit" in to get the engine bay painted. I can't get the heater A/C box off the fire wall, I got all the top nuts off but the bottom of the box seems to be attached and hanging up, feels like I am missing a fastener. :( Does anyone know how the box is...

Congrats, Marry Christmas and happy fathersday.

Just want to wish every body happy holidays and good times with family and friends as we celebrate the Saviors birthday. Marry Christmas!!

I am puting a C4 in my project and am thinking about using a Loker shifter with the remote gear indicator. Any one have experiance with this set up or have recommendations?

Thank you for the comments. I am planning on using the black coating for the headers. It is a bit expensive thought. I am still engineering fuel lines and next will check out the heater boxfor clearance.

I have a book I got on ranger swaps. The guy had done some really neat stuff with 80's model rangers, convertables etc and one big block, on the big block he had to notch the frame to fit the radiator. The folks that did my exhust cramed a v8 with a turbo into a little rice burner. I think you have ...

Cgrey8 I met a fellow at a car show who used jet hot on a project and it looked great years later. I am worried about heat in the engine bay and how to reduce it.
