The "other" Black Widow - 88 - 302 build


O.KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK........this thread has been officially Jacked....


NOW......back to his build......waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahahhahahahaaaaa
 
really, how did this arguement start?


all i did was compliment him on his truck


am i missing something here??
 
Well here's a list of everything I've done so far....

302 bored .60 over KB pistons runs about 9.5:1 small cam, Spider Web intake, Edelbrock 650 carb, Hedman headers. C4 auto from TCI good up to 750 HP with a B&M shifter, stall is a mild 2200.

Redid the interior in black, made the custom center console, 94 Exporer all electric seats, custom made gauge panel with Equus gauges, Aerostar grill center, posi 7.5 rear end geared at 4.10's. We lowered the rear it by an inch or so by flipping the rear spring perches and cutting 1 loop out of the front springs. I have air shocks in the rear so I can raise it or lower it depending on what size tires I end up running.Lots of black and red paint and such. Built by me and my 17 year old son.

I have street slicks sitting in the garage ready to go on (27X11.50X16) when I find a couple 16 rims!

I'm forseeing a different gear ration in the very near future, the 4.10's are way to low. At 70 MPH I'm running 4.5K RPM's. It's a hell of a lot of fun getting to 70 but should do much better with 3.04's......

I also would like to get an overhead console at some point.......

Blackwidow is a friend of mine and i have no problems with him or his comments, i LOVE his truck as well!!!
 
I love this truck. Exactly the direction I want mine to go once I find a good base to start with.
 
Excellent truck man, looks real clean and looks nice n ballsy too.



As for Blackwidow (dave) leave him alone, I see the truck in person all the time and it's a damn nice truck! So what he had an SBC laying around and a Ranger with a blown motor, he combined with what he had and did an amazing job.

Truck looks good!

Couple of questions:

What transmission did you use? (looks like an Auto)

Can we get some more details on that grill?

I can see the A/C button on your climate controls, did you keep it? If so what did you do with the box?

Got a better pic of that gauge panel?

What transmission did you use? (looks like an Auto) Yup you nailed it - C4 built by TCI

Can we get some more details on that grill? Well no sure where I saw it before but pretty much just cut the center out of the Ranger grill and picked up the same center section from an Aerostar (no idea what year) at the junk yard and trimmed it down to size. Glued the section in and the smoothed out with bondo and painted.

I can see the A/C button on your climate controls, did you keep it? If so what did you do with the box? Left the button but took off all the rest so it doesn't have AC...I still need to pick up a none AC box from the junk yard.

Got a better pic of that gauge panel? Sure thing let me find my camera!

your ok multi.


atleast i have a v8 in my rig :D

If yolu call it that. Sighman could have went with a Ford 4 banger and still have a better truck!
 
how do you like having those speakers in the center console? i thought of that but doing some research i found out that having speakers in the doors and center console would mess with the imaging and how your ear percieves the sound.
