Yesterday I was on craigslist and saw an 84 Ranger with a small block ford, and t5 5-speed manual trans. So i called him up and went down to look at it later on in the day. The body is in pretty good shape, theres only one dent on the front left fender, other than that, its in good shape (NO RUST :yahoo:)
The engine is a 70's era small block 302 out of a Bronco, it has a mild crane cam, headers, dual sump oil pan, 4-bbl weiland intake, and a 4-core radiator. It also has a true dual 2-1/2 inch exhaust with bullet style mufflers coming out the back. the trans needs rebuilt, and it needs a carb, but other than that, i should have it up and running before summer starts. I'll have pics soon when i pick it up. Picking it up Easter weekend hopefully.
I'll use this thread as my Build Thread.
