Well i know it's not a ranger but Its got a lot of ranger parts going into it left over from my 1991 that I converted to diesel.
I'm starting out with a 1973 ford courier but I'm salvaging from my ranger my fm145 transmission and borgwarn manual transfer case. My 63/64" springs my explorer 8.8 with lsd.
My add on's are my om617 turboed Mercedes Benz 5 cylinder diesel engine with custom bell I made adapted to the transmission and my slip tank style box mount fuel tank.
Also new to this truck also my over all project is a dana 30 from a xj with no axle disconnect which Im going to do coIL suspension. I'm not sure weather I'm going to make radous Arms or do 4 link like it had in Cherokee.
Truck runs and drives atm with old Mazda 1.8 motor in it but will be starting to pull apart here in the next month. Will be a bit extensive as I have to move the firewall back to get my long motor in but with a slight body lift and some measuring will just cut out square then fold up A nice insert to weld in nothing really to truck so not much to pull apart to fit in.
