sbc in a ranger?


the guvment was gonna give blackwidow $4000 cash for clunkers until they saw he had a SBC under the hood....Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....ijushadtaaaaa

chord.......you could always take/chop some out of the chassis & driveshaft to make the short bed fit....but that would be a lotta work......depends on how much you wanna short wheelbase truk......

im starting to wonder about you. i think you need meds.

i think i'm going to go ahead and get the long bed and if i can't stand it, i'll shorten it. Are you going to have to get a driveline made for your truck blackwidow, or will something else fit?

the original driveshaft will work with a bastard u-joint and the correct yoke for the trans

chord.....Ima drive my '36 to blackwidow's house......

take a hacksaw & cut the yoke off his oem driveshaft.....

hook up the dial-indicators & weld him a sbc yoke on it.....

then we goin to the t-rackkkkkkk.......

EDIT: good choice on testin out the long-bed with the engine swap done first

if you could find a track thats closer than 1 1/2 hours from me, be my guest.

go ahead and grab his motor, then drop it off at my house too

if you pay the gas, ill drop it off at your house, i dont think im doing the swap anymore. im too afraid of doorgunners 2.9 :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl: :icon_rofl:
 
gooooooooooooood link!!!!!!!

You sure about the length? After messing around with different ideas, I ended up just having a brand new drive shaft made. Wasn't too expensive. I didn't ask, and they didn't mention otherwise, but they did reuse a couple things off my old shaft, which I imagine the rest of the old rusty POS got scrapped.

ues, the long tail shaft th350 or the th700r4 like im using fit in the same location as the tk transmissions. mine sits on the factory mount no problem.

i might hve a new d-shaft made though. outta carbon fiber or aluminum
 
well i'm going to pick up my new truck tonight. 1988 ranger for $140! i'll post some pics soon if i can figure out how...
 
SWEET DEAL. upload the pictures to a site like photobucket. then copy and page the image code, then when you go to post, click advanced, then there a yellow sun looking button click that, then you will see the tab to paste the link to, make sure to erase the http on the bar that comes up first.

hope that made sense
 
well i picked up the truck the other day, got the 4 banger and trans out, now i gotta start spending money....
 
stick a 460 big block in her, then you will have a Built Ranger Tough
