I picked up this 90 ranger for $300. It's a little 2.3 with the
auto. The engine runs great, but the transmission is junk.
The plan is to toss in a used tranny and drive it while we collect parts for our 5.0 swap.
Here's our plan for the drivetrain:
Stock explorer long block (3 bar heads), upgrade valve spings, still deciding on cam
4.2 f150 5 speed
Explorer 8.8" rear end with 3:55's and l/s
Exterior:
New/used bed
New fenders
Fresh paint (color to be determined)
Explorer limited grill and front bumper
Roll pan
Interior:
New carpet
94+ mustang gt seats
Explorer console
Recover headliner
It'll be lowered a few inches, and wheel probably have some kind of mustang wheels.
If you notice, we will be using a lot of o.e.m parts to keep cost down, and make it more like something ford should of done.

Putting the boy to work.

Had an old bug guard and some broken foglights.

So we took that garbage off.

Also pulled off the chrome rocker panel covers and the bed rails.
