Thanks Straycat...I don't think by any means I have uncovered an original copy of the Constitution under a velvet picture of dogs playing poker (i.e. have a tremendous find in $ terms) but since everyone here likes and appreciates Rangers I'm just looking for some input before I do anything I may regret later.

I got to thinking that my option D was not intended to be a classified ad...so everyone please forgive me if it came across that way.

Not to worry about the advertising thingie, Bro. You have a small piece of Ford history...not to many are around.

what exactly is a shadow ranger?

 

[hoosier1104]

I would say a full resto but with a 302 on a dose of steroids possibly. The logical side of me says do a full resto with the 4 cyclinder.

 

[jhammel85]

I'd go v8 and keep it stock too.

 

[19bonestock88]

i'd swap in a built 2.3T/t5 combo... would be fun... sort of like Ford's version of the lil' red express,lol

i say go for the 302 swap with a mild build and depending on how low it is already since i see it is pretty low i would drop it some maybe an ince in the rear to even it out if u drop a 302 in it then take and leave it all stock outside with some interior touches such as leds with maybe some bucket seats.

i'd SAS it and put it on 33's or 35's. and put a 4.0 in it.

why would he SAS a 2wd?...

 

[Jraymer360]

why would he SAS a 2wd?...

to make it a 4WD.

 

[pcollins]

to make it a 4WD.

well before he does his I think he should come swap mine for some practice.

i say resto and 2.3 5/6spd thats built up for power. a 2.9 would be my second choice. id keep the factory ride hight and keep it 2wd but with a 8.8 with L/S. 4x4 on a rare truck is just asking to tear up the body, wich is something you wouldn't want to do to a rare fiberglass bed. lowering seems kinda out of place on a stepside..
