Starting with a 1985 ranger, picked it up for 1850. little to no rust, under side is immaculate, manual brakes and steering should help me out with engine clearance and headers.
My 94 ranger has more rust problems. The radius arms still have the original powder coat where as most other rangers have flaked off.
The motor going in is from my totaled t top mustang. Carbed 302 with mild cam, stock heads, tremec tko600 trans. Aluminum drive shaft from the mustang might bolt up if I set the engine back enough, it's only 4 inches shorter than the rangers. If not I'll have a custom one made if it can't be lengthened.
I'm waiting for an expo rear end to pop up on craigslist, only one has and it has a locker and it's been converted to a ranger set up, was hoping to leave it set up as an expo to attain some drop. Stock gears are in it 3.27s. I'll keep waiting for that 4.10 posi.
I might get a fuel cell if the stock tank doesn't work, this would allow me to run the mustang x pipe.
Trans cross member, I might use the stock one or relocate the frame mounts inboard and use my mustang gforce billet cross member.
