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...

I have a 1983 Ford Ranger that I am putting in a 351w in and I was wondering what dipstick i could use for an AOD transmission that would clear everything because i know its going to be a tight fit.

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.

alright guys, i have a stock 4.0l v6 and im getting a 351w, and i would like to know what i need for parts and what kind of transmission i need... my truck has a 4 inch rancho lift.. what would be the best way to beef it up to hold this big engine? i know i have to build my own motor mounts...
