Nice little truck, followed this thread for a bit and then forgot about it Glad to see your starting a bit of progress on it. Thats more than i can say w/ any of my vehicles
Ray it's funny you mention the flared wheel wells...the rears are flared but not the front...I thought they were aftermarket but after closer inspection there not. I didn't know they made em like that. The 73 I had years ago was just a box bed. This project is not progressing fast enuf for me...one of our tracks is open and the other is fixin to open and I WANNA RACE....grrrrr
If there's gonna be an issue with the headers it looks like its gonna be the steering box. I got a set of headers that came with the truck that were for a 302 and they were custom made for it. Of course I can't use them but I thought they may come in handy as a template to build a new set from.
Man oh man that's gonna be fun!! We bought another Ranger last week- a 92 single cab long bed, and I just can't keep from thinking that it needs a 302 dropped in so that the truck will be happy. It just keeps calling to me........... Mr. Rick- that thing is going to be beyond fast- can you say insane. I'd get insurance and plates on it...........That'd be fun too right?? right guys??? guys?? Good Luck and Have fun!!! Preston
I'll bet everyone thought this project was dead , myself included. Well I carried the rotating assembly from the machine shop that did the block work to the machine shop that is balancing it. We may actually have this thing together in a couple of weeks but I'm not holding my breath...
more like a driver with a rocket attached....make sure you put 3 chutes on it and some good train brakes..... that thing will scream my supervisor at work has a courier that he and his dad are restoring...
