Bought my friends chopped and bagged '94 Ranger..

[ZMan]

Well the windshield is at the glass guy's, hopefully it all comes out good, he wasn't too excited lol.

Also got my new engine this week. Bought it from a friend that had it in his '74 Maverick, he wrecked it and the car was too rusty to be worth fixing back up, so he sold me the engine. Its a roller 302 (5.0 H.O.), with ported 289 heads, edlebrock intake, cam, and 10.1 pistons. I need to get headers, a mustang oilpan, and a carburator (had an edlebrock 750 on it). I plan on running an AOD behind it. It ran a 13.3 on street tires in the Maverick, I may be able to hit that with drag radials on the truck (yes I do plan to race it!).

I do plan on dressing it up with different valve covers, cleaning the intake, and getting a serpentine system for the front with a 100 amp alternator.

Vid of the Mav from back in July..

I wanted one of those, but I couldn't find anyone to trade with me, So I traded for a 4.0.

BUMP! Any more updates on this?

Not really, I've been working on my '92 trying to get it done. This thing is on the backburner for a while.

I sold the 302 back to my buddy, and then he put it in his brothers car. My windshield is still with the glass guy, can you tell I told him to take his time? lol.

well I got another engine..this one isn't quite as radical, but at least it has a transmission attached to it.

Its a 5.0l from a '88 T-bird, and an AOD. Guy I bought it from says the trans has a shift kit, the heads have been redone, and it has a "one step above stock cam", whatever that means, it still has a standard 302 firing order (not H.O), so the cam can't be that great.

Its lookig good!!! Always like the rangers chopped. I wanted to do it to the last two rangers I dropped but was already chopping my '57 F100, they definitely are by no means a easy to do mod. Any dea on what wheels you are going with?

 

[AgPete139]

Thats more bodywork than I would care to do. Good job!

If that's a stock ranger bumper (which it looks to be) how the hell did that hole get in there? Looks like a piece of fiberglass that got smacked, but they're metal typically..

I was thinking centerline smoothies, in either 18" or 20"

Ya its a lot of work for sure, I was pretty pissed off at my buddy the night he decided to do it, because I figured I would be the one finishing it, lol.

my buddy decided it would be a good idea to put a license plate box there, which being the lazy ass he is, was just glued in. I'll dig up a picture of it later. I have a new bumper for it.

Looks to me, someone cut it out to put a plate holder in the bumper.

That's a very jagged cut, lol.

The positioning seems awkward.

Throw the plate on the dash in the windshield and call it a day, lol.

Ya i wasnt going to leave the plate like that, hence the reason i have a new bumper.
