3.0 sho in 4x4 99 ranger

[1991 Blue danger ranger]

Not a lot new this week after getting that last video up, but I did powder coat one of the valve covers as a test for what I wanna do color scheme wise for the engine. Didn’t turn out perfect, but I can live with it

man the green powder coating is amazing! just read your entire thread and i am very impressed with this build, suuuuper cool. is the sho motor from a taurus? and if i might ask, how much is it to powder coat things? im hoping to do a supercharged 4.0 sohc swap into my 91 4.0 ohv, and a powder coating job would be amazing for the supercharger & valve covers. tthanks!

thank you for the compliments. The engine came from a wrecked SHO my buddy had at his shop 10-15 years ago. He pulled the engine before junking what was left of the car. The powdercoating is something I did myself. Several years ago I bought one of the cheapy powdercoating guns from harbor freight and a free electric oven that my nephew was throwing away when he remodeled his kitchen. I’ve had other things powdercoated in the past by professionals and had good experiences, but it was pricey. DIY has produced results that are between 90-100% as good and it obviously costs far less. I think 1lb of the neon green powder cost me $25 with shipping.
