I Need Info About The Fuel Lines That MalcolmV8 Has On His Red Ranger.
BTW .. im new to the site adn have been doing ALOT of reading over the past 2 to 2 1/2 years to do this V-8 conversion and now have most of the info i need . Including all the part #'s and where to get them adn a basic ballpark price range. But i do have a few questions that i would like to ask.
1. Will Mac long tube headers from a 1990 Mustang GT work for the swap or do i really need to get the Headman ones??
2.) and this is one of the MOST important things ..... WHERE can i get the fittings for the EFI fuel rail that MalcomV8 has on his red Ranger .... if i can just get the locking ends then i think i can make the length that i need to go from the drivers side of the Ranger to the passengers side of the 5.0 to connect them up..
3.) i got all the links to get the clutch fluid line and get it all connected .. BUT ... i think im going to go a diff route than MOST .. if not ALL ... of the ppl here that use a slave cyl for the clutch and have to make the brackets and all that trouble.......... im going to use a McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing that goes inside the bell housing adn slips on the collar shaft of the input shaft. it costs WAY more (about $350 to $480) but it will be WELL worth it because of the clearance probs to the floor pan and all.. if you want to see one in a kit ill post you a link to see it ..... http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku ...
4.) now to tell what all i got that im going to put into my 1990 Ranger and what i have done to it so far ... its a LIST so i hope yall like to read ... lol ....................... ok here goes ......
i got a 1990 Mustang GT that used to be my MAIN transportation and i have had it since 1992 its a 5.0 .. F303 cam .. ported and polished heads .. Mac long tube 1 5/8 headers with off road H pipe 2 chamber flowmasters .. Tremec TKO 600 .. Alum drive shaft .. 8.8 rear with Auburn Pro Diff with 3:73 gears Moser custom alloy street axles with a T&A rear girdle .. car was converted to 5 lug all the way around with Weld Pro Stars . 15 x 3.5 on the front and 15 x 8 on the rear .. Will be doing a mid shifter conversion on the Tremec as to retain the factory shift location in the Ranger .. MSD 6AL ignition .. MSD 2 step .. Hurst Line Lock .. NOS (150 to 250 HP shot) .. K&N filter .. SVO aluminum 3 core radiator .. Flex-A-Lite electric fan .. Center Force Clutch Assembly .. FMS Steel Flywheel .. South side lift bars with BBK upper control arms .. Lakewood drag struts and shocks .. underdrive pullies .. 130 AMP Escort Alt .. 190 LPH in tank fuel pump .. and the list goes on .. but not much more cuz i will not be able to use a pretty good bit of the Stang stuff so ill have parts left that ill prob put on Ebay ... along with a 4" cowl hood ... but ill be using the COMPLETE wiring harness and computer and stuff from the Stang .
Now.. to list the stuff that i got done to the Ranger now... its a short list right now but after i get going and get it started around tax time in Feb. of 2009 ill keep yall posted and start a pic gallery or something somewhere or just fire me up a web page somewhere in the Universe and post them there and then post a link to the site on here.. if thats ok ??
ok.. here goes .... i bought a 1990 Ranger Custom about 4 1/2 years ago .. it had NO a/c or radio or radio ant. from the factory ,but i bought another 90 Ranger and put all the a/c stuff on it and added my ant. and pioneer radio . oh it had NO interior other than Blue vinyl bench seat and a heater and a RUBBER thing called a carpet and the seat was TRASHED so it HAD to go 1st thing !! well i got some Gray seats and belts and sunvisors and carpet and interior lights from a 04 Ranger that was crashed and had to fabricate seat brackets and then do more fabbing to get them to bolt into my Ranger but i got them in and they look good too .. then i bought the rest of the interior trim and headliner from a friend and had to recover the headliner in gray and dye the plastic trim pieces to match and added a Shelf-It from LMC Trucks. I have also lowered it 3 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear put on a bed cover (which at the time i bought it .. cost MORE than i gave for the Ranger) i put on a set of Weld Drag Lites 15 x 6 (185/85/15)front and 15 x 8 rear(295/50/15) tinted windows .. put in a sliding rear window .. added a set of MA Audio 12" subs and a 780 watt amp (till i can get my other 780 watt amp to join this one .. total of 1560 watts) .. converted the PLAIN instrument panel with NO tach to one i got out of my sons 89 BroncoII after he totaled it .. added Nite Glow Electro-Luminescent Gauges .. put in an 94 Explorer grille (looks like the STX option that LMC shows)..
OK .. i think that is about it for now ..... if ANYONE has ANY info or tips or tricks or ANYTHING they would like to share with me .. PLZ let me know either here or on hotmail or MSN grumpy_01@hotmail.com I am doing this on a TIGHT budget as i am disabled with back probs and will more than likely be doing ALL of this all by myself.
One more thing .. i have done my homework and am going to use the L&L kit but not buy the oil pan as i will not need it cuz mine already has it. and will be swapping out the RUBBER parts in the mounts for Polyurthane bushings for LONG life.
ok enuff about my project and all .. would LOVE to hear from you all and let me know your thoughts and opinions.
