didnt pull heads off?

No, I was told it was running fine when pulled. Plan is to start it and do a compression test before the 4.0 comes out of the ranger.

Yeah slo-vo and I had a accident with the passenger door glass so we decided to take the doors off.

I can't believe that crazy asshole came running out of the woods at 6 AM and busted the window out....they should really get him taken care of.
























Sorry Greg lol one of the stupidest things I've done lately :laughing:

It's cool, glass is overrated.

. The 1.5 tube just looks too small.

This is the reason I'm running 2" tubing all over my truck, and for my weight class if it ever gets raced.


Trucks looking good!

From what I can find searching most post say
under 3000 1.5
3000-4000 1.75
4000 + 2.0

Scored a duraspark harness, coil, and starter solenoid at the u-pull-it yard today. All off a 78 F250 for $10. Would of got the ignition module but it was melted.

The bolts that hold the 425 mixer to the holley 650 throttle plate are 12-24, yeah nobody has those. Had to order some.

Also starting to think about a rear radiator setup. I want as little as possible blocking my view.

3000-4000 is the only one with 1.75?

Well that changes things....

My suggestion

Your plan (I think?)

Both are 92 rangers. One has a cab, the other is all tube but still utilizes the ranger frame

dude.....if you only knew how intimately i know that 6 feet of ranger frame

 

[bobbywalter]

one thing though....i suggest a big block if your gonna run propane.

i think you will be happier with it.

 

[97TrailRigDD]

Too late for that

Got 2 tanks today and 1 more on the way. Filled and good for 5 years for $80 each + tax and environmental.

Also started playing around with the tire groover on a spare tire. My front 2 tires are getting low on tread so trying to figure out how I want to cut them.
