Hello,
New to the forums as far as posting, but not as a reader. I would like to take some time every now and then to chronicle this build. Progress is going to be slow but should be steady and we expect to finish this truck by late spring early summer.
We are starting with a 90 Ranger 2WD, going to completely strip it down to bare frame derust and paint..... the usual, before any modification.
This is the truck sorry old pic.
Starting to gather up four sixes and T45 transmissions
More four six blocks (anyone want a 79 pontiac 350
)
Down to rolling chassis getting ready to remove the 2.9
See who says you need a big V8 to pull wheel
Cab, bed and other parts all stored out of way for now.
Motor removed....The rust on the frame was not anywhere near as bad as we anticipated. Hell all the cross members are still there. With the exception of the fact the only thing holding the cab on was 2 of 6 mounts.
Thats it for now will have more pictures hopefully every couple of days to log the progress. This truck is gonna be a monster when its done.

. are you going to fuel inject it or put a carb manifold on it? im just kinda wondering because id like to talk to some that is gonna carb a 4.6 as im thinking about doin it in a future project after i get my 302 ranger done.
I run a small Mustang performance shop here and I have lots and lots of parts. I think I have nine or ten master engine harnesses for the 4.6 all coil pack not coil on plug version, and a whole lot of NPI heads and intakes. Speaking of which anybody have a PI intake they want to get rid of or trade for an NPI and set of NPI heads?.... Just a thought. Thanks for the info brantr will keep that in mind, I just might want to build a pursuit car to keep up with the truck.
