I believe the SHO V6 can bolt up to an M5OD.

EDIT: This is the SHO V6, not V8. Also this has an adapter. However, the SHO V8 does share bellhousing pattern with Duratec V6s. I'm relatively certain that the Ranger 3.0 M5OD bolts up.

This isn't really a "street truck" build, but it isn't "off-road" either. I guess it just is what it is. Through high school and college, I drove a 1988 ranger 2wd. It was my project and daily driver. I went through 5 short-blocks, 3 clutches, 4 transmissions, and a lot of oil. Funny...

I'm building an RB20DET Ranger for my buddy because... Why not? :icon_welder: Anyway, I'm writing about it on my blog, but thought you people might be interested in seeing it. http://ironhydroxide.blogspot.com/2015/09/im-like-one-eyed-cat-peepin-in-seafood.html

I had some trouble with my last engine and toasted the pistons. So I decided to do a full rebuild on the engine. Got the block back from my machinist and painted it to match the truck. The head is a worked over NA head with big valves. I reshaped the chambers to accommodate big...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvvWuIb6FmA Hill Climb Video I made this movie a little over a year ago to test out the capabilities of a GoPro Hero HD. The truck is my 88 Ranger 2.3 Turbo. It's got a pretty hot motor with a Holset HE351 turbo on it, backed by a T5 tranny and a racing clutch...

What size wrench is required to adjust a TIB caster/camber bushing?

So I'm thinking this summer I might rework the suspension on my truck. I want to get about 10" travel, front and rear. It's a 1988 shortbed single cab. Currently the setup is stock except for skyjacker leveling coils, cut down polyurethane spacers, aftermarket camber bushings and bilstein HD...

now that just sounds wierd.

After this I wanted something that I could rely on even at high hp levels, so I built me a new shortblock.

I have had tire rubbing isssues for quite some time, and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it. I'm running 235/75r15s on my ranger, with skyjacker leveling coils and cut down polyurethane spacers. The truck sits level, maybe a touch higher in the front. The rear suspension is stock and I...
