What should I keep from a 302 f-150 donor.....and driveability ?'s too!!


You really need to do more researching before choosing parts. Hedman's swap headers (89500) are far from a perfect fit in a Ranger. Al little research will tell you the whole story. The passenger side sucks, litterally. It dumps straight down into the axle, leaving about 4-6" clearance to install a 90* elbow, which in most cases gets crushed first time you bottom out the suspension (and that's going to happen eventually, nomatter how careful you are) You also have to remove the header to remove the starter in most cases. Hedman's 88400 headers (for the early Fairlanes) fix all this. As for the truck oilpan, these do not fit, period. The sump either contacts the crossmember or the sterring linkage. The fox pan is a definate fit.And one last piece of advice, NEVER bid on an auction til the last two minutes. Some one will always outbid you, driving the price up. This is good for sellers:icon_thumby:, but bad for a buyer. :annoyed:

LOL how come you haven't written a book yet? Thanks again for all the help!!

The starting bid was .99 so I bid $1.05 so I wouldn't lose it or forget about it. If I can get it for under $100 (my max bid is close to that) saweet, if not I'll use what I gots....I'm off to look at the hedmans you recommended...Thanks again!!

Use the "Search" feature at the top of the thread list and you'll have more info than any book I could write. :dunno: And Ebay has an auction watch feature so you don't have to bid to watch anything. :icon_idea:
