351w Ranger swap poll

[darkman]

Lets see how many of us have done a 351w swap to a ranger and with what trans

 

[sparky2eh]

and the next most asked question..........what headers

 

[motorbill87]

92 351windsor c4 behind it built by performance automatic rated to 750hp. Reverse manual valve body and 3500 stall convertor.

Exploder 5.0 "tube" headers for now........

Any more brain busters?....lol

Expect to box in the frame.

C6 and 1356. notched tiny piece in frame for t case. Flowtech shorty headers for a 1990 bronco with a 351. modified pass header just a lil bit. drivers header fit great just flattened a tube a lil for clearance

i got a 87 2wd ranger with a 72 351w, I got a c4, pretty much built with scrap cars and scrap metal! very low budget lol lot of fun though

Depends on what the curb weight is, being a ranger i would spring for a c4 there is so much in the aftermarket world for them.

In my 93 f150 lightning I got rid of the e4od for a junkyard c6 and its holding up just fine behind my twin turbo 351w (so far). Even though the c4 can handle some serious power, it wont handle much over 4,000lbs. The internals just arent beefy enough.

Started with a 351/C4/Dana 20, then a 396stroker/C4/Dana20, then a 396W/ZF/Np205, now going to a maybe bigger than a 396W/C6/203-205doubler. A stock type V8 the frame isn't an issue. More than 450hp then I would start adding some things. As far as headers I used a brand new set of long lubes, a cutoff wheel, a tube bender and a welder.
