Congrats Teddy! Well deserved!
 
Long overdue for you Teddy. I've always loved your Ranger.
 
Hey, thanks guys!!
Kind of shocked...
I generally hang out in the V8 forum here. If anyone has any questions about the truck, let me know.

A quick rundown, as I don't have too much detail on this site.
1997 Supercab, was 4.0 5speed, now it's a 5.0 with a T5.
Truck is dropped approx. 5/8", with DJM beams and "custom" coils, DJM flip kit and flipped shackle hangers.
Wheels are 18X9/18X10 Bullitts, with '94-'04 Mustang backspacing. (fr +24mm, rr +20mm) Tires are General Exclaim, 275/40/18 and 295/35/18. Rear fender lips are rolled.
Brakes are 13" Cobra up front from an '03 Anniversary Cobra, with custom brackets and hubs. Rears are 11.65" Cobra discs. Rebuilt Traction Lok (clutch/steel/clutch/steel, etc.) with 3.55 gears.

Interior has Explorer power seats, Explorer console that is gutted and modded for the T5 shifter. Shifter is Steeda Tri-Ax. Has a little stereo, Alpine Head unit, Pioneer speakers, and a dog-proof Bazooka sub.

Think that about covers it... The front bumper is an old thing from Godfather Customs, I do have a tonneau that is waiting for paint, and I have made a custom cowl hood, using a 2.5" cowl from a Fox body Mustang.

Oh, and the engine bay has been trimmed, painted... Has some fancy Redline hood struts ;)
Engine was a '92 5.0 H.O.
Now has a b303 cam, 1.7 roller rockers, GT40 heads, GT40 tubular intake, 65mm TB, 80mm MAF, Shelby Tri-Y headers, custom 2.5" dual exhaust to two Flowmaster 40 mufflers, dumped in front of the rear axle.
Front accessories are Fox length. Brackets are March style, with the Alternator (1993 Taurus 3G) flipped upside down. Has two 10" fans on the stock rad for cooling.
Truck now has a BBK CAI intended for an SN95 4.6 Mustang.

And for those of you new to engine swaps, everything in the dash works- engine light, speedometer, stock tack, all stock gauges and lights :)

Like the rest of you, there are a million other little mods!

Big thanks to this site for all the help... I've had four Rangers in the past ten years!
