351w swap

Hello I am new to this site and I'm actually doing this for my dad. He has an 88 Ranger show truck with a 351 Windsor Engine from a '72 Mustang. He needs Blockhugger headers to fit without moving the steering. He has hooker Blockhugger headers now but they have discontinued that part. Does...

Hello, I'm putting a 351windsor in a 1983 Ford Ranger. I have everything ready to go except my alternator and power steering brackets. Yes, I know the part numbers and that you need to find a car between 1978-1986 with the correct v8 pulley. I went to a junkyard and found a power steering...

Well, it is 3 years later and I am back with the same plea to the fellow enthusiasts out there. The ones I obtained had issues with the starter and the side of the C6 on the passenger side. Hoping someone will be kind enough to offer a suggestion.

Just another ranger lover. I have an 88GT longbed. Its all factory except for the paint color( 07 dodge viper red), the 18in wheels (07 Gt mustang )and a flip up/removeable sunroof. It has a rebuilt 2.9 with about 75k on it. planning on a 351w swap in a couple of years.
