pretty rare ranger of mine I must part with

[FineLinesStripes]

Hey guys, I made a fool of myself and first posted this up in "introduce yourself". I've got a very special ranger of mine that I've been forced to leave behind, and I need to be sure it goes to someone who can respect it and get it done right. Here's a link to my ad

In case you were wondering, I used the mustang motor because I got it for free, and knew I'd enjoy the extra challenge. could be the only one of it's kind.

Cool truck! Sorry you gotta part with it.

I know I'm pretty disappointed. I spent quite a bit and worked very hard to get it where it is.

it's nice,but i don't see what's 'one of a kind' about it.looks like a typical 5.0 swap into a 2wd ranger.

most everyone normally opts to swap the motor from an explorer into a 98+ ranger. Mustang engine is quite a bit longer (accessories) and entails some crossmember/motor mount fabrication. Not a big deal, just a pain in the ass.

A lot of 302 motors have been swapped in a Ranger, Bro...no big deal....now if it was Hemi or a 427 Ford side oiler...not that would be rare!!!!!

You outta try stuffing a Crown Vic 302 into a first gen.

It is a nice looking swap though, not that common on that new of a truck. It is too bad you didn't get to finish/enjoy it.

Basically every swap is a one off swap, no two are exactly the same.

Nevermind, minus the whole "rare" part. Never did a whole lot of research on putting a V8 into a ranger. Just decided one day I wanted to do it, and spent my vacation from work, at work, doing it. Unfortunately the money sounds important. As you can see, I don't have a paved driveway or a garage. ha, bodyman without a garage, I get that one quite a bit. Not to mention a hell of a slough of foundation problems. Me and my Fiancee own a newly established distribution company, and I'm half owner/foreman of my shop. I'm too busy to have fun anymore!

All emissions equipment and hoses are intact, and in working order.

i will say this. you get two thumbs up and a snap in a circle for the just do it attitude.

and with a just finish it attitude, its worth 2-3 grand.

If I only had the $$. lol. Nice job with the swap man! Too bad it's gotta go.

V8 Rangers are VERY rare to those not directly involved with the car hobby. The only one other than mine I've ever seen locally is in a 4WD and was off road only.

This is a steal for someone!

I have never seen another one besides mine... and mine ain't even running yet so I have yet to see a running V8 Ranger in real life.
