Shout out to all the 83-88 V8 Ranger guys

[Teddyzee]

The Slave I used uses the stock ford pin setup. Could have possible used a stock line, but mine face the wrong direction. I have one that would work from an F150, but it was old and had some issues.

I used a braided line and some fittings to go from Ford master to cable to Ford slave.

I took a couple more pics yesterday of the truck as a starting point. The only thing that I have done to it before I took any pics was I picked up a grill from the wrecking yard and put it in and took the front bumper off that was bent up. This is my starting point and will try to take many pics every step of the way.
All stock with grill installed and bumper removed.

Now with 98 GT wheels

Ok I had a few minuets today to play with the Ranger and I wanted to see if it would run so I could post the engine up for sale and try to make a little money to help cove the cost of doing theV8 conversion on it. Here is a video I posted on youtube of it.

Well I went to the wrecking yard today and picked a couple of things for my conversion. Like I said I am going to try to take alot of pics of this conversion every step of the way. Here is a couple more of the things I picked up Enjoy....Mike.
Brake and clutch peddle assembly. $9.00

Clutch master cyl assembly. $3.00

Total cost of parts today $12.00. The Bronco II that I took all this out of was super clean and it was sad to see it in the wrecking yard .

Yea both front fenders are going to be replaced as they both are dented in the front. The Bronco II that I pulled the peddles from were in very nice shape but I didnt have the extra cash to get them at this time . I will go back there next weekend and see if they are still there. Hopefully some Mexican didnt destroy them like normal. I was taking the grill off of a Bronco II the other day and next to me was a Mexican using a hammer and a pair of pliers busting up a grill on a Explorer to get at the Ford oval and the trans cooler . Looked like more work then just pulling the screws to remove the grill to get what he wanted. This is the way the Mexicans out here do this and the mess up alot of nice stuff as they just dont care .
