$10k to spend

[bobbywalter]

Not sure where you get your numbers but the 3.0 only made 130-150 Hp. The 5.0 makes around 460 Hp. Unless you're talking about swapping in the new 3.0 Ecoboost which still only makes about 400Hp. My intention is to build a sleeper. The 5.0 would have the supercharger on it, ported/polished aluminum heads and custom headers/exhaust. Add a custom tune and it can easily reach upwards of 500-550 Hp. Putting a transmission behind it that can handle that power and a rear end with disc brakes will eat up at least $20k. Add custom suspension, body work ad paint will be another $10k easily! Put that beside a 2019 and mine will trip the win light every time. Besides all that, I like the 2003 Ranger better than the new ones. I mean, they are nice and all, but I just prefer that generation. To have a Ranger that I like and will run down most other muscle cars for $30k is a dream come true.

What 5.0 are you referring to? I was under the impression that a 35 k build would be with a low miles 150 donor.

That is the only power train that is actually cost effective. Problem with those...you have to push air through them to make competitive power.

Those are no where near 460 hp...and the mustang stuff and crate systems are high dollar.

460 hp coyote swap is 20 k vs an 8 k 150 swap. Though the prices for the 5.0 are falling pretty good the last year or so... enough that we are looking at them for the next swap.

Don't leave much for 3 months of labor and body work.

But if he can do a stang setup for 35 g.....that is a winning lotto ticket to me.

What 5.0 are you referring to?

As stated in a previous post, a 5.0 Coyote engine. Everywhere I looked says 460 Hp. The are going for anywhere from $10k to $15k depending where you look. I found this one 5.0 Coyote Engine. Even at $10k, it leaves $25k for the rest. As I said, my truck is in great condition so there isn't much for body work. Before I did anything I would want something in writing stating what we agree upon and that the cost does not exceed $35k!

 

[bobbywalter]

ahhhhhh....now i am on the same page...


ok....new in your link you are really leaving out the cost effective scenario...


your engine there to get it working with power steering.....all new....puts you pushing 18 k..... now you need the rest of the powertrain.



for me its easy physically.... used trans and t case combo i would do on my own and would keep me around 2200-3k. my tuning credits and work via my hp tuners to make the 4x4 work with the package in your link is tough to gauge....i would estimate with roller time 1800.


so....i would drop the package offerings from the new side they have listed and go to a terminator x and a manual trans.

do you prefer an auto or manual?








but for comparatives....lets look at used..(for this application they want a 6 month window btw)...sub 75k miles coyote swap with bare bones to get you a trans and t case to work with....turn key pallet....the engine on its own is 11,499.....
to get it so it will move a 4x4 truck....bare bones....from mars.

10 speed trans

• Subtotal
  $11,499.99
• Options
  $7,400.00
• Total
  $18,899.99

m5odr2 trans

• Subtotal
  $11,499.99
• Options
  $5,400.00
• Total
  $16,899.99

so used gets you moving. around 17500 to 20k with drive shafts...3-4500 in labor.

paint work....4 k. so 30 k is pushing it.





per your link, your at..... Price with Selected Options: $15,909.15 for just the engine to run the truck with ac and powersteering.

now you need to find a 10 speed and transfer case....and new driveshafts.

trans....10 speed used...3000 .....

6 speed used.....2000......

m5od used clutched on the engine....2000 to 2500.

t case....3 modes run 2-400 bux....drive shafts 800 bux.
wire up...500....


so your smarter to go with the new setup and reman trans from like TK. but trouble shot and tuned out ready to go is at least 23k

pro tour modules didnt offer 4x4 last i checked...and estimated 3 to 4 k to do it.....


35 k is doable. and again....a great deal if you are not getting your hands dirty. sure as hell cant buy anything like that for that price.

yup....winning lotto ticket.

Well, my balloon has been popped and you are correct. I went back to the shop to talk about the build and the numbers and what he failed to make clear to me is that I need to supply the donor vehicle! If he has to track down and supply the donor I am looking at $45k-$50 all in. Still a good deal considering I wouldn't have to touch it and it would be like a new truck but, that's a lot of money! He said to go with an old 302 would be much more cost effective and he can get 450 Hp out of it no problem. I need to take a step back and really think about this. I already have a 302 swap project going and I may have him take that over.

Bruh, do you understand the levels of damage you can do on Hemmings with 30k to spend?

I’m jumping on the repair train. It’s SOOOO much easier just to do an engine in your truck than it is to sign the dotted line for a car payment. The swap isn’t that bad and you’ll save TONS of money.
Just fix it man. Well worth it

It’s actually it WAY easier to sign your name than it is to do an engine swap.

Ha ha true that!

I'd rather keep an oldie but goody running myself, but they both come down to the same bottom line,
My 3k or your 30k a fender bender will total it

My truck has been totaled twice...

 

[Josh B]

I near totaled mine today, not a half mile from home blacked out, took out a barb wire fence and 4 or 5 metal T-posts.

 

[BroncLander]

Get a mid 70s highboy for 5 grand, put 5 more into it. You won't regret it

You ok?

 

[Josh B]

Yeah, I'm fine, I came home and studied into it online, took a good long nap and will try again tomorrow
I called my neighbor and told him about the fence, he's already got it fixed.
It scuffed up my hood a bit where some wire dragged across it, and pulled a bit of the bumper pad loose but it popped right back in
