Hey all, new guy here. Picked up a cool little 96' Splash Ranger for a whopping $2400! Has a 96' Explorer 302 in it backed by a C4 and an 8.8. Here's the details:
-302 .030 over(so I'm told)
-Crane cam(so I'm told, doesnt sound stock).
-1.6 adjustable rockers.
-GT40 heads and intake.
-shorty headers
-oil filter relocation
-C4 auto.
-shift kit.
-lokar shifter amd linkage.
-aluminum 1 piece driveshaft.
-28 spline 8.8. Blah...
-3.73 and open carrier. Blah...
-2010 GT wheels and tires.
-aluminum radiator.
-electric fan.
-bucket seats(not sure if OEM?).
Sure I'm missing some stuff. Its a blast to drive, but teally needs a track-lok unit and either 29" tire and/or a gear reduction(3.27/3.08). Cruises decent at 45ish.
Really looking for wheel specs for 15x8" Jegs race wheels. Not quite sure what offset is needed to clear a set of either 10.5 or 12" ET Street/Drag tires. The 2010 GT wheels are 6.2" backspacing and 18x8. Thinking 5.5" would sit about right or 4.5 if it wint rib the fenders. Still has factory spring over suspension.
Would appreciate some input!
Plans are a 31spline conversion or whole axle swap, drag wheel setup with 28-30" radials, nitrous(havent made my mind up, previously had a dry kit on a Mustang), caltracks, and a good tune.
