Will totally go the sway bar route then main thing I'm worried about, and I know lowering won't help it, is Light butt end, heavy friend, scared she will slide around on me.

Btw I live out in whitewater/dutchtown area if you know where that is.

Ok, you may of seen me on the board already and I'm still wishy washy on final build but HELLO. My name is Alan and I'm located in Southeast MO. Project truck is an 87 ranger shortbed 2wd. Picked it up from setting for 11 years but the truck was owned by an older couple and is almost perfect. Plans ...

" You can't get more of a budget engine than a 392. $350 for the 3.85 stroke Scat crank, stock 351W rods, and cheap dime a dozen 302 pistons. the KB Hypereutectic pistons are very good for this combo. Strong and cheap and the pin bosses clear the counterweights on the crank without clearancing....

Ok My combo keeps getting blown every which way, 3 options and price isn't a big deal just need opinions on this. 347 stroker http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SCA-1-94055/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-150110/ http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6049-Z304P/ 306 (I have a 302 HO from an ...

Ya Mike from thumper told me if I had the money just buy the afr's as they will out flow his head, Super awesome guy to tell me that I thought.

Guess I'm going to get me a transmission together first and see what that leaves on the budget. Just sold some more turbo 4 banger crap so the budget is growing lol

I got a ton of bad AOD's, guess I will try rebuilding one. Can't be so bad can it?

This has me intrigued, how do these measure up I wonder to the afr 1402, He got a 60 horse increase on a stock motor from these.

I know cgrey and I appreciate you calling this to my attention, like I said I'm a newb and appreciate any and all advice. Ok so think got head wrapped around this the 1402 AFR heads an...

Any suggestion on some heads then? I'll probably go stock bottom end HO mustang motor. I'm in the dark with this, this is my first v8, 4 banger had alot less options.

Heads?

Lol this rear end was free but it has drum brakes on the back, its a 90-94 don't remember the year for sure.

Cgrey you crushed my hopes and dreams, I was hoping the explorer would swap right in.

This weekend I'm probably pulling the motor out of the truck and a junk v8 and aod are going in for mock up, I'll also be swapping rearends from an explorer this weekend as long as the perches are in the same spot. 3.73 gears might be a little low though. Still searching for the correct heads or int...

I want something nasty lol, I'll probably drive this daily since I live like a mile from work and beat it pretty hard on the weekends. My other project car before this was a 2.3 turbocoupe with a full manual valvebody. I used to drive that thing every where, so as long as it idles and has some low e...
