alright guys not new to the forum world but i am new to the truck scene.... swapping and fabrication are nothing new to me either but i have always been a car kinda guy.... until i found a deal on this 95 ford ranger from my father inlaw..... its a 2wd 95 extended cab 4 cylinder 5 speed..... now dont jump down my throat and tell me im an idiot for wanting all these mods but the truck is almost the exact opposite of what i want so here is the breakdown of what i want and if anyone has any links to previous posts or anything that can aid me in these mods it would be greatly appreciated...... i wanna convert the truck to 4wd first off and the hope is to find a rollover ranger or something because i also want to convert to a 4.0L with a manual trans ( i was also wondering if it is possible to mount one of the 6 spd manual trans out of the newer mustangs because if im not mistaken they are 4.0L as well) but i am ok with a 5spd next i have heard something about front end conversions and i was wondering what year rangers are direct bolt ons and what ones require more fabrication.... the truck is also a standard bed and i want the style of the stepside off a 2002+ ranger if this is at all possible.... i am also looking into the possiblility of running the early tbird supercharger and was wondering what kind of boost pressures that a factory 4.0 can withstand and also where i could go to find internals for the 4.0L just to see whats out there the ultimate goal is for the truck to have 4 inch suspension lift and 3 inch body lift sitting on 15x10 rims with interco thornbird 35 12.50 15s.... it will mainly be a toy/winter truck/ parts hauler because my honda hatch with 3 inches of ground clearance just doesnt do well in the winter lol
