I am new to this forum, having fournd it while looking for info for my new Ranger. Just bought a 1986 Ranger with a 5.0 swap and T5. 6000 original miles.
Have plans to make it into a nice driving street rod type vehicle, and will need advice and recommendations. Looking forward to participating too.
