awesome build ..

[tpking]

i found this on a f150 forum ... someone needs to build a motor like this for a ranger ..

1989 4x4 F150
engine: 300-6 bone stock and 140K miles to top it off.
clutch: 10 inch disc...Its time for an 11" this one slips under boost
transmision: Borg Warner T-18 4spd.
transfercase Borg Warner 1356
gears 3.54:1

Turbo: Warner-Ishi from 6.5 GM diesel

Piping: custom fabbed by myself

Target boost pressure: 10PSI have run as high as 15 PSI.

Fuel management: Megasquirt and spark using stock distributor and TFI, Dynojet wide band air fuel guage controlling fuel ratios

Wiring harness: OEM..removed 60pin EEC-IV header connector from scrap ECU and built a "plug and play" wiring harness adapter.

Fuel system: 19 lbs per hour 302 injectors, OEM pump, lines.

HP: 227@3000
Torque 428@3000

Fuel economy: 14.2 MPG HWY when I'm not hogging on it. I expect to get 15-17 range when completely dialed in.

Why?: 1. I want to prove that economy and power are acheivable
2. I'm tired of the common small block, big block game everyone and their cousin has run and currently runs.
3. The 300-I6 was used as an industrial engine on used equipment and is built very well with its 7 main bearings and is about perfect for this kind of application.

Current miles on projet: 14K abusive miles, and now that I have everything dialed in much better I haven't really seen any adverse effects on the engine.

I've seen a few forced induction 300's. Alot of people don't realize that they can make some stupid pulling power.
