Made new harness, new ECU, new FEAD, cam, valve springs, pushrods, timing chain, painted the engine bay, new overflow/washer box, new hoses, moved some stuff around, etc.
 
That's probably the neatest, cleanest installation I've seen.
 
Nicely done!

Very clean and neat.

It takes a lot of work to do that, and not many appreciate that.

Good job sir!
 
That looks just great Teddy! Seems like every year you improve on it.

Attaboy Teddy, lokin clean and beautifull as always. If you don't mind me asking, what cam did you use in that combo and how do you like it? :icon_thumby:
 
Thanks guys!
It's a work in progress.
The cam is a B303, 1.7:1 roller rockers, GT40 heads/intake, 65mm throttle body. It moves well. Best part is definitely the brakes.
 
i haz a question. do you still have AC when you swap out like that?

I got rid of the AC.
My rad is sitting where the AC condenser was.

It would be easy to keep AC if Explorer or SN95 front accessories were used.

Specs are close to mine sans the super.....but before that we almost had the same build though one of my initial goals was NOT to give up the creature comforts!
But! That is one beautiful Ranger!and it is done right!:3gears:

TOTM hell! That's truck OF THE YEAR!:clapping:
 
theres plenty of room for ac though with this setup


just not needed as much as in southern florida:D
 
As always Teddy, very nice work. I really like seeing those valve covers being used. I really like the look of them.

Also, just a question on your intake elbow. Is that from a speed density car? I just got me an idea looking at that thing. :D

True, except no.

Yes, that tubing is from a speed density car, good eye! I plan to replace it with something a little better looking, but it's fun to use the parts at hand!
