Do you run a sway bar? If not how stable does it feel without?

No I don't, but it seems plenty stable with the full GIANT 64 pack. The old springs made the truck feel a lil squishy around corners. Either way never felt like it needed a sway bar.

Now that is more like it....

Are you running the Flowmaster 10 series on the ranger?

Not sure bout the series but it's the small single chamber Flowmaster

 

[DFracing]

That would be the 10 series. Im sure it sounds very good when it had the auto in there, but with a 5spd now behind that 4.0 it will sound so much better.

QUE??? how will the transmission change how the truck sounds?

 

[brinker88]

Sounds different @ higher RPMs (you can rev the engine out more)

 

[RaceRanger97]

Weeellll, looks like I might be swapping in a 302 here soon.

 

[RaceRanger97]

No problems, my friend just happened to be abandoning his project..I'm actually pulling right now.. Pretty stoked!

Are you going to try and make it pass smog, or is the truck an offroad only thing now?

Cleaned everything up, replaced some gaskets and added roller rockers on the exhaust side.

It's an 87 mustang 302 with edlebrock intake, mild-ish cam, truck avenger carb, headers, 1.72 exhaust rockers. Should make plenty of power running through a manual trans.

 

[RaceRanger97]

That is a good looking engine and your making that a manual transmission...my goodness.

Thanks man, ya can't wait to hear v8 noises coming out of this truck. Makes it twice as cool lol.

Side note, bought a couple kits from Rugged Radios to wire audio into my helmets.
