Crazy project under construction

[drudruisme]

Greetings, been lurking a while. Used this place to gather a lot of info on my current built project. Planing is done, Project is started, so time to present it.

I got a Ford Ranger 1996 Single Cab, Long box. I was looking for a no rust Cab and Frame. Found it in Denver a few weeks ago. Flew in, purchased, and drove it home, 2000miles, Imported into Canada.

Here is what I am doing to it.
New engine Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel,
Auto transmission 4L60-E
Atlas transfer case+Black box.
Solid axles Dana 44 from a TJ Rubicon, including the e-lockers.
Replacement of the pick up box by a custom made camper shell.
Will likely be on 35'' tires.
Full remake of the cab interior, custom parts of the dash, new carpet, head liners, new seats. Fresh paint of the truck.

Wish me luck!

Where abouts in Canada? I'm interested in the drive ability of those 2.8 seem like a neat swap

So, there are three of us around here from Saskatchewan, then. I'm in the SE corner, about ten minutes from the Manitoba border. Somebody else posted in October I think it was in the Introduce Yourself forum that was also from Saskatchewan.

Very cool project!

What's the damage from a Cummins 2.8L diesel?
