[tapiafox]

Hello guys My name Is Edgar im from California, im currently in the process of swapping a V8 into my 92 ranger. Im going to need all of your input,advices or tips,suggestions. Thanks in advance

We all car/truck guys need a truck to haul stuff around like motors,wheels,junkyard trips etc... I pick this Ranger up for $350 with a bad clutch the same night saw an AD on Craigslist a guy was looking for a v6 3.0 motor so i called him he came down the next day, and we pulled the motor. 2 weeks later i came across a 90 fox body for real cheap made my money parting out the vert, kept the motor,trans and all wiring for my ranger.

Here are some pics



The night we pulled the v6



Came across this y2k wheels for $100 a set couldn't pass on them



Machining the motor mount plates at work 3/8 steel


Finished product still need to notch a piece of it my headers are hitting on the plate


Picked the Tri Y headers on CL for $50 should look better with a nice coat of paint

There is the build section and the ranger truck section... Not exactly the proper build thread locale.... Maybe if it was a buddy or sumthing that couldn't be classified of a mass produced vehicle...
