Have to do anything special to run this cam. Gonna try to get into the 10s this time!

 

[deathbypsi]

Yes...its a small base circle cam so it has aftermarket valves,springs,HLA'a and lots of port work

Well I took a 4 day vacation this weekend so no work was done but the days before I got back at it.
Doors are finished.I even mae new splash guards for them.

8.8 housing is cut,welded and all cleaned up ready for essembly now too.

Fuel system is in.Anti-wrap bars are on.

New steeringwheel.

Breather system finished.

OK....rear axle is finished an under truck now. Here is the break down. Explorer 8.8 with 3" taken out of drivers side tube,using two passenger side stock 31 spline axles. 3.55 gears and a Auburn Pro. All new bearings and races through out and a TFS girdle. Only original brake part is the backing plates. New drums,shoes,wheel cylinders,hardware,adjusters,lines and hose. Even have the stock parking brake cables hooked up and working. Big milestone for me and project cuz now the wheels and bed can go on.
I also made some nice upper and lower shock mounts/tabs to work with my foxbody Strange 10way adjustable drag shocks.

Ended up with a perfect patteren and .005 backlash.

Dug out the old shoes to start test fitting ....looks nice but I think the 275/50 might be to wide and short so I might try the 275/60's instead.

Finishing off chassis today. All new brakes and made all my shock mounts.

And oh wait.... you dont have a real set of 1984 SVO Mustang Comp Prep cloth seats for your Ranger?? I do!

 

[Ranger Kip]

very nice work so far!

 

[deathbypsi]

Well rear suspension and brakes are finished. Fuel system done. Bed installed. Pushed it outside to wash it off for the first time. I got wood.

Now just a bunch of small details, finish the interior and wire the truck.
