[87fiveoranger]

For the ones that haven't seen my Ranger Build here is the link,i don't know how to move the thread to the v8 conversion forum so i just posted the link up for the ones that haven't seen it. http://therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=101881.

The update on the motor is had to take timing cover off to put new timing chain in and also putting a custom ground cam in it since i have the timing cover off.I should have it together n the next two weeks and have it running before April.I'll post pictures up putting the motor in the truck. Thanks Brandon

Headers

I am getting me a set of the tri-y headers off the 65-70 model mustang to go on my 302 in my 87 ranger. The driver side cleared very very well, but the passenger side did not because the bell housing is too big for the headers to go by it. In this case i got two choices the first is to try bend the header a little to get it to clear my bell housing,my second choice is to find the 154 tooth bell housing (the small c4 bell). I'm not sure what i want to do give me some advise guys i'll have about a week to decide what i'm going to do. I'm not sure how hard it's going to be to find the "small bell." So i have to decide so I can find another bell. I'm posting some picture.

If you need a little more room you could always double up the exhaust gasket.

I have got me the smaller bell for my c4 soo hopefully now i won't have anymore trouble with the motor part. I am ordering my Tri-Y headers tomorrow.

Hearing protection advised, the sound is intense in the cab around 2000 rpm...
