Just picked up this 87 ranger 4x4

[Ranger4Rob]

Chevy dynoed real shitty numbers but its better than nothing 448 Hp and 496 LBS of torque, I screwed up with that engine and ended up putting more money than I should of, but its in the past, now I have a 454 4 bolt main that Im working on, it will be a nasty 496 when Im done. I should have gone BIG block from the beginning but hey you live and learn and I def did just a little late $4500 later................Here are some pics of the ranger taken today after her bath...........

I seen that link you provided, thats a nice truck it looks bad, I want to do a similar setup but without the supercharger, the engine Im putting together "496" is identical to my buddys engine a he's making 628Hp on motor with brodix heads, but he has about $11000 in it right now thats the set back....Once you go stroker big block it's major$$$$$$$$$$$$$...............One thing ive learned building street cars and trucks is if you want to go cheap mine as well not do it at all.....
