Opinions please

2 questions. #1: I don't understand the joke. #2: wtf is a joke banned? Its a joke. There are supposed to ruffle feathers right? At least the good ones are. That's why they are funny. Please school me on this.

I’ll answer #2 first: No mom jokes... now go back to the joke, it should help you with question #1.
Me and PJ pretty much torture each other 24/7... If he was logged in right now, I’d text him for no reason.

Mechanically, the Mazda trucks were identical to the Ford Rangers.

After 94.

From what I am gleening, manual trans and m112 would keep you happy.


At one point tom Morana had the manifolding for this. Might want to look there. The m90 was common for a bit and about 40 bux at my you pull it yards....remanning it was 5 to 600.

So with injectors and tune your looking at 100 HP for 2300. Packaging is ideal for prerunner build.

I actually talked to Tom Morana a few days ago. He still builds M90, M122, and M112 manifolds for the cologne engines. You have to call to order them, but he will build them if you order one.

He's in his 80s now, and is a little hard to hear over the phone, but he will talk you through a lot for free.

The other one that carries a lot of cologne performance parts is Ron's precision machine. Another in his 80s, but is very giving with advice and knows his sh*t

Oh, and we're in the golden age of superchargers right now. Lots of them in the junkyard. There's a few lists out there, but common ones I grab are mercedes, general motors, jaguar, Ford, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, and occasionally bmw.

There are more, but those are the easy ones from the top of my head. There's a badass website, something like victory automotive library that has a list of every supercharged vehicle sold in the United States.

You mean "Mechanically. the Mazda trucks were Ford Rangers"

So I just realized i dont have push button 4x4 so is the stick for it gonna get in the way of the stick on the manual tranny?​

The shifter for the transfer case will be cosy beside the one for the transmission, but Ford designed them to work together.

Note: If you are getting the manual transmission, you want a 4x4 one to have the correct output shaft/housing.

This is you.

I forgot to mention that... oops. There's a shift boot that has both shifters on it, it's the one to have... I don't think mine is bolted to the floor so it's just floating there but it doesn't seem to mind

Yeah I knew that much but thank you. The tranny i have or will have i should say is comming from a 1994 b2400 4x4. Its just a bitch getting it out because for some reason my pnp don't allow jacks in the facility. So I have to do everything all weird and in stages. But at the end of the day today upon running out of time my wife accidentally set the bottle jack i snuck in on something unstable, a rock or something, and the thing kicked out dropping the tranny on my face/chest. Or so i thought. It wasnt clear of the engine and the mounts had all been robbed so everything just linda gracefully rolled back a little. No harm no foul. So tomorrow i think ill just hoist the engine and tranny since its all free and clear and pull it outside the truck. I also pulled a ECU. The dumb non car bad at life ppl working there also cross threaded the drain plug so i am gonna have to fix that B.S. so yeah

I wonder why they don’t allow jacks.

 

[bobbywalter]

Why would you need a jack to remove a m5od r1?

 

[don4331]

The tranmission I have or will have i should say is coming from a 1994 b4000 4x4.

Again, not sure if you're aware or not: The transmission output shaft housing mounts for the transfer case shifter may/may not be threaded; in some cases, they are not even there. But there are threads on how to add the shifter mount if required.

I use light duty ratchet straps at pnp given they don't allow jacks. Threaded around the frame rails and under the transmission leaves very little chance of it slipping out; using a pair means you can control the descent of the transmission.
