pics of YOUR v8 swapped ranger


My Daily Driver Conversion>>>

Well, this is lettin the "Cat outta the bag", as I haven't posted anythin bout this work in progress. I bought a 00 Explorer 5.0L AWD back in March, picked the donor 4x4 chassis first of June, and started on my truck the end of June. FINALLY got it back July 15th, after 3 weeks of what was only supposed to be a week. I gave it a bath today and took these pics Still some detail work & misc. things I want to do to it, but in time.

hear are pictures of the headers. they are 1 3/4x 3 inch they go out over the frame just to make it easy to make every thing work. every pipe is a single pipe.

===================
THANKS! Like the "Baby Lightning" comment:clapping:. It's my DD and yes on the AC & everything from the Explorer was transferred to my truck.
 
I see the tires are brand new! How does these little trucks handle with the straight axel conversion?

Yup still has all the little hairs on them! Its not bad, I had to play with spring rates to get something I liked, and it's tall enough that its great as long as you aren't turning. Straight roads I've had it up to 70-80mph

========================
Updated pics after dual exhaust finished with tailpipes, removed those 3" blocks they put on 4x4's from rear to drop it down to Street look, and custom made decal to indicate that its not stock if the sound doesn't tellem:icon_twisted:
