[Eagle]

Now THIS is a RANGER build!

Nice work. 302? 351?

 

[Bru]

Looks good man

 

[Mook]

Yaaaaaa. I like where this is going.

Very clean build! Any reason you are just running shorty headers?

 

[Euro]

Looks awesome man, can't wait to see it back together!

 

[C.Evans]

Thanks guys! It's just a little high revving "306" Scat internals, forged Keith Black pistons, AFR heads, good sized roller cam, etc. Looking for low-mid 400's at the flywheel with the Holley HP carb. No room for longtubes otherwise I'd be running them!

 

[Eagle]

Killer build. Will be looking to see this truck in 2012!

 

[C.Evans]

Thank you, I'll be around!

very unique build!

in the one pic of the engine, the belt setup, im suprised you didnt try to run sometype of idler pulley to take the length out of the long run between the alt. and p/s.

 

[C.Evans]

Where an idler would be placed is the spot that the 5.0 originally had the auto tensioner, and since I am running a manual tensioner there obviously is no need for it. The belt didnt flop around at all while running this setup last season and there is enough wrap around each of the pulleys, so Im ok with it.

 

[6literEat'r]

oh, jw..thats good though.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

Man the chassis is spotless on that truck. Great work it should fly with this setup.

Not to belittle his project that I'm BEYOND envious of, it looks like he did the same basic thing I did as well (Cup brushed the frame and hit it with POR15 or something of the sort, you can still see the irregularities in areas like the cross bracing where it's hard to get 100% clean).

I'm glad someone is still carrying the Ranger torch onward .

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Your truck was full on homo. This truck is gonna be sick and in no way a comparison to your hunk of shit.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Woord

 

[clint282cc]

Only 400 to the crank?.... Hmmm...

 

[clint282cc]

Oh, and i already told you SICK build. Just like mine but a little cleaner!

Yep, I spent a lot of time cleaning up the frame. Took it apart all the way down to the frame and wire wheeled it up, prepped, and painted. You should've seen the garage floor.... It was orange.

Thats it! :wink:
