1990 4x4 build thread "skarlett"

[fordbrian333]

hey guys so im going on my 3rd build here, and finally remembered to start a build thread before i actually started the build, my last 2 v8 swaps i did i used stock motor mounts with 1/4 plates for motor mounts with stock eb manifolds (worked good but looked kind of hacked up)

My plan:
-1990 4x4 4 inch rough country lift (until i sas this one)
-302, c4, twin stiicked dana 20 (all from E.B)
-vert motor mounts swapped side to side (any input on this would be greatly appreciated)
-headers. not sure which ones im going to run yet, ive seemed to here mixed reveiws on everything out there, (input here will also be appreciated)

^putting the 4 inch in the front (this is actually the lift that i took out of the silver one when i sas'd it) sold the lift to a freind...and ended up buying skarlett from his dad

the 302 going into the ranger

c4/twin stick dana 2o

thats a good looking truck man!

 

[fordbrian333]

thanks. it needs some paont but the body solid and the frame is flawless, good buy for aonly $1000

 

[jhammel85]

Not bad for what you paid! That motor looks great too!

 

[fordbrian333]

yeah man the motors fresh, my buddys restoring his wifes E.B. and putting a efi 5.o in it so i picked this set up up off him for a decent price also

Still is wierd seeing my dad's Ranger in different hands...lol

I didnt know that you could twin stick a d20.

Looks great, Im keeping my eye on this one.

 

[fordbrian333]

Yeap, its actually very common with the e.b. Guys, moderatly cheap too

I loved the dana 20 i used to run in mine. That C4 dana 20 combo is worth a few bucks anymore, I fetched $350 for the t-case alone a few years back when I sold it. For any of the guys who have a C4 and want a Dana 20 don't jump to fast to get one, they require early bronco specific tailshaft and extension housing and you'll pay heavily for those.

Yeah i made out good, bought the entire set up from an early bronco, so everything was there, just have to set it inder the ranger, hopefully this weekend, but of course i have to fix my gmc

 

[fordbrian333]

did a little deconstruction o nthe ranger today, everything that can possibly be taken aprt and the truck still be drivable is apart, but i have some questions, does the stock 2.9 coil have enough amperage to power a 302 ignition? and does anyone know what brackets in need to use my stock alt and p/s pump with the 302?

 

[fordbrian333]

got the tranny and tcase out of the ranger this weekend, was a little slowed down by the fuel pump in my daily driver taking a dump, but that back together now, it was aq little chilly out today so i took a break from the ranger and helped my buddy out with a bronco hes building for his wife, so i figured id share some photos with you of the engine we put in it today
