it is an idea i have been kicking around for a while, the plan is to put it in a ranger.
-truck 1993-95 reg cab step side 2x4
-engine 6.0l
-trans 4r100
-rear end 9"
-hp goal 550-600/ whats needed to run the 12.0 index class, at first then we will see.
i want a older ranger with the twin i beam, i think it should be easier to make it hold the weight, then a torsin bar system and a pre 1996 so i don't have to emmisons test it, so i can drive it on the steet. i already have a 1990 ranger that is juck and a 4r with a broken tail shaft houseing. i plan to do some mock up on this first to see how it will fit before i invest a lot of money in to this project. it will be built in stages first just put a 6.0/4r in a ranger at stock hp level and work all the bugs out manual steering and brakes no intercooler then build the truck i want from there air to water intercooler in the bed radiator in the bed if theres no room in the front, roll cage, put in a stout 9" with sliders, springs pulled in under the frame so i can fit a wider tire, i don't want to back half it but if need be so be it. possible a bed mounted turbo, if the hight of the motor is too much for a body lift and cowl hood. and most importantly a lot of suspension and frame work. i plan to buy a wrecked super duty and transfer everything over, hopefully have a lot of useable parts for my 03 superduty and then use the motor and haness to to swap it in to the ranger.
