So heres the deal I bought this little silver and blue Ford truck about two months ago while looking for a cherokee, so it wasnt what I really wanted but for $600 i couldnt pass it up. Hell the tires were worth $600, 104 miles on the new rubbers when I bought it. This little truck sat in a garage for all except 104 miles of the last two years. So I figured Id use it for a dayly driver and maybe wheel it a little too, and keep looking for my cherokee. So I bring this thing home and start lookin on the internet for some info on it and I come across this website called The Ranger Station thats just loaded with all kinds of info on this thing and some badass pictures of B2's. I start to think to myself that this little truck might make a bitchin wheeler, plus it was pretty fun to drive. That night I said the hell with the cherokee I love my B2. And here we are my first post and Im just about ready to start building my B2 into a badass mudd slinggin wheeler.
OK now we get to the Ranger 8.8. A buddy of mine who I go to school with gave me an 8.8 out of what we believe is an early 90s ranger, not for sure cause he is a Jeep guy and he dont know crap about Fords. And before anyone says it I know the 8.8 from an exploder is better but like I said he gave it to me, and you cant argue with free, so I'll make it work. My question is, has anyone done it? Any advice? Do I have to move the spring perches at all? And does anyone know the pinion angle for an 87 B2?
Also the same guy is giving me a 4.0 out of another early 90's Ranger with a c4 auto trans.
