im impressed if it looks as nice in person

 

[Mark_88]

Hmmmmn...I chopped the back wall out of my first Ranger and was considering going topess...looks pretty good...but needs work according to owner...

 

[nine-teen91stxranger]

yeah. if i lived down by the town, ide go look at it, i bet it is pretty fast having a 4.6l in it

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

Shame he did the "convertible" , it looks good on that color, and deff fast with that engine

 

[nine-teen91stxranger]

but cab clips are fairly easy to do if you know body work, if he didnt want 5k for it, i would seriouly thinking about it

I know that truck, his screen name on RPS is dlibson.

 

[ZMan]

this guy has a whole buildup of this truck on RPS.. I thought the truck had a removable hard top but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm looking for the build thread, its a few years old..

edit: found it http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/f402/i-am-putting-4-6-into-85-ranger-195687.html

I forgot he did custom fenderwell headers, did a nice job.

 

[03ranger30]

I would defiantly drive that thing

 

[4.0B2]

i'd rock it

 

[AllanD]

If you start with TWO cabs creating a removeable hard top isn't "rocket surgery"

But I'd like to know why he went to all that work for a 4.6SOHC when he's already
done most of the work to have swapped in a 4.6DOHC engine.

Especially since the Mark8 Lincolns earlier than '95 were actually EEC4 managed
making the wiring and control easier to accomplish.

Ummm does anybody else realize that a 1999 CV is not a PI motor. They upgraded to PIs in 2001, unlike the Mustangs that did so in 1999.

Police Interceptor.

Police Interceptor.

Are you saying that the way he is saying PI is for Police Interceptor or are you saying that Police Interceptors had PI motors in 1999?

 

[Snoranger]

Its a CVPI or P71.

Crown Vic Police Interceptor. You are right about the PI heads not coming out until later.

P71 is the code in the vin #, the best way to know for sure its a CVPI.

Great way to confuse people.....thanks Ford.

Only problem I see with that engine he put in is the fact that its the old style intake manifold with the plastic coolant crossover. I had one replace on my 1996 GT from ford under their "recall" but then it busted again and I found a 96 CV with the dorman upgraded part for 40 bucks. Easy fix but that part can be pretty costly when it does break. Even the dormans run 250 new.
