  • thanks man

  • LOVE the sound of this truck-even bookmarked this video so I knew what kind of exhaust to put on my new 375-horse V8 1993 Splash.

    Nice truck man.

  • Do it! But if it is your only vehicle remember that it is very time consuming and money involved even after it is built. Try to keep it as a hobby vehicle not a everyday driver.

  • i am thinking about putting a v8 in my 1990 ford ranger, blacking out the windows lowering it some, and chaning the bed on it and putting 8inch wide wheels on it.. dont know yet though lol

  • ya i dont know anything about tacomas or dodge. I dont think i said anything about anything eighther of them. ford and harley is all i deal with

  • @MADFORCE32 @bottzxI32 Actually you are both wrong. No, Tacoma's never came from the factory with v8's, only Tundras. Also, Dodge has been stuffing v8's into Dakota's since the late 80's.

  • @dieseldane Yes, Dodge did, which was great, wish that companies would've followed.. the last years the Dakota was made only ran a 4.7 V8.. I had completely forgot about the dakota.

  • i bought the tips at the muffler shop

  • how did you do your exhaust? ive always wanted my tips like that. ive got rounded tips now.

  • ya man you want to go with the 302. its a stonger built motor than the new stuff. the 302 have always been bullet proof you wont be disapointed. you can realy beat the hell out of them.and as for the tranny you just have to drill 4 holes in the frame and move the cross member back.

  • i dont realy know what u mean? What is a onlee first of all. And a tacoma is a chev. isnt it? So what is your comment exactly?

  • this videeo is fake onlee tacomas cum with v8s

  • @bottzxI32 You know it's very possible to do this yourself, so no, it's not fake, there are a lot of 1st gen S10's with V8s too, & guess what, the S10 never came with a V8 either, that means the person put the V8 in it themselves

  • @bottzxI32 You are a moron.. it's a custom swap. Tacomas don't even come with v8's still these days they aren't offered.. only 4 banger and v6.. Think back.. no car maker put a v8 into a compact/mid-sized pick-ups. Look up your shit before posting.

  • @MADFORCE32 you're mom is a moron. LMFAO! teh new tacoma 4cly has more powir than a v8 terbow deesil. thats why toyota is numbir one in the world. PWNED!

  • @bottzxI32 YOU SIR are A FAGGOT that needs to realize toyota has nothing over a diesel.. ohh wait, they don't have any good diesel trucks AND only way they had a good v8 was they had to buy the 5.7L from chevrolet, which they fucked up again by putting the starter on the top of the transmission. And the 4cly SUCKS.

  • @MADFORCE32 your a stoopid pussie. toyota tacomas came factoree with a 700 horsepowir v3 deisel. suck that dick fag

  • What's the rear end gear

  • It just came together. the 302 fits right in. You will have to dent the firewall about 2 inches wich is no big deal you cant see it. That is so the tranny will fit in,

  • did you have to do any modification to fit the engine or it all just came together

  • Sounds like sex on wheels! ill trade you my 3.0 lol

  • hell ya man screw the new shit. i am making this this manual now. runs as good as a new truck

  • It's videos like these that make me say "fuck a new truck, I'm sooping my '01 Ranger",

    Thanks for posting this up G, your inspiring those of us who haven't found out where to start off at yet.

  • dude it is totaly worth doing. there is not alot of mods at all . i would almost say no mods realy . motor mounts, dent the firewall for tranny, acouple of plates under the mounts to tru up the level of the motor. you would be surprised how easy it just slips in. the truck was made for this motor. ford just wouldnt put it in the truck cause it is unsafe for the road. (according to them) do it man you wont be disapointed.

  • @dsmith34057 hey man considering doing a v8 swap but my buddies ranger required alot of mods because he dropped a dohc 4.6 cobra is the 5.0 the more practical swap? thanx and i heard that the trannies cross member is a course for concern

  • @dsmith34057 Yet they put it in the Explorer which is really (Well the old ones any way) A ranger with a fully covered back. I never understood why they would put them in the Xploders but not the Rangers.

  • @AllAlaskan907 They only would put them in the 4 door explorers too.. I swapped one into my 2 door, dropped right it since they have the same engine bay, ford claimed it was uneconomical to put a v8 in the 2 door. Supposedly no one would be interested in it. I call bULLsHit.

  • hey my dad got a 347 stroker motor with 34k miles on it sittin in the garage, was there alot of mods you had to do for the engine to fit? alot of bracket fittings?

  • holy shit man idk why everybodys talkin shit about the rims cuz they needa pay attention to what you got under the hood nice job dude

  • Did you put a cobra engine in it?

  • That's a bad ass ranger! I have the same wheels on my '97 ranger. Are those 20s?

  • Oh, some other bits of info that would help. It's packing a holley 900cfm 4 barrel on top of a Edelbrock victor intake with a lunati voodoo 0.58 lift cam. All those in mind would the noise be too much. Haha sorry, I'm throwing all this stuff at you lol. Just wondering if maybe you would know.

  • How is the drone? I have a 73 F100 and I'm considering these. How do you think drone would be with dumps about 3 feet in front of the rear axle. This truck is old so there is next to none when it comes to sound insulation.

  • COBRAAA?!?!?!??!?! :DDD

  • seeeeexy!

  • im assuming that splash bed didnt come with the truck originally :P

  • i removed it

  • hay does it still have ac or did u remone it to fit in the 302?

  • sounds just like my car :D i have a 305 lb9 tpi, sounds the exact same, mines a little louder but this sounds awesome! nice truck

  • thanks yamaha next time i build something i will ask you.

  • The rims ruined it.

  • @Yamaha995 ur right those are fucking nigger rims...

  • sick 302, rebuilding a shelby cobra right now, someone switched the valve covers, so now i gotta buy some like urs, looks sick tho

  • no headers and no cats just super 40 flowmaster

  • do u have headers and cats on this??

  • Hey man, Im thinkin about getting the super 40's, but im not sure. that sounds great but could u pls message me some stuff about ur exhaust. like does it have a cat, is there headers, how big is that pipe, stuff like that. that would be a huge help to me, thanks :)

  • @paulerbear119 ok i just have stock manifolds. two and a half inch pipes 1 super 40 muffler with two in two out. dude if i were you i would really consider this super 40 it has the low rumble and when you excellerate it is a smooth loud ballsy sound. i love it . they sound better after you run them a while. they will almost sound quiet at first till they burn off.

  • @dsmith34057 haha sweet, does it have a cat??? my truck im putting headers on, it doesnt have a cat cuz its a 78, and im thinking 2-1/2'' pipes, and it will be duals. i might even do 2'' pipes, depends on how loud its gonna be. my lil town HATES noise. a friend got a ticket on his sport bike cuz it was 2 loud O.o

  • @paulerbear119 it'll still can be loud with 2" pipe, it'll just be really rattly, crackly, poppy, and raspy.

  • @dsmith34057 You right, for some reasens all Flowmaster mufflers I have ever had had to have a break in time before they sounded best. After a week or two (or around 500 miles) they start to wake up and after about 3 weeks to a month (or close to 800 miles) is when they 'break in' you could say.

  • that is the reason i love fords cuz of that sound right there

  • the ranger ford should of built...lol

  • @spnlthaxton They did. Its called The Lightning Bolt!

  • GA its delicous  i want to bathe in it

  • hell yeah ill be lookin forward to seein them

  • yeah bro great job dude that thing looks sick and sounds sick im actualy workin on the same project ive got a 1990 ranger ive got a buddy with a 302 out of an 86 mustang its been rebuilt just tryin to find a tranny

  • thanks man. i got along way to go. i will be posting more videos of it probably this weekend.

  • nice truck and the step side looks good. Just need some fresh paint and that ranger will be mint

  • ya its been a slow proses

  • I was gonna grab a set of those Cobra valve covers on ebay, but i figured I'd spend money on something that actually makes the truck put down more power lol

    But they do look good.

  • Ya i bought them used and cleaned them up. you havnt heard they add 160 more horsepower dude. better get u some quick. just kidding

  • Damnit, I knew it :-P

  • it sounds like a mustang.... just like my v8 ranger lol

  • Hey mine too, looks like there's too many v8 rangers out there now lol

    But I haven't found two that are alike.

  • Excluding the shitty wheels and tail lights, nice truck.

  • lol... nevermind the effed up interior or mismatched EVERYTHING, or oil spots on the driveway :D

    seriously though. excellent job. I can't wait to do the same thing.

  • The oil spills were from other projects and the truck isnt done yet but thanks for pin pointing everything out. lol. i was just stoked to get it running. lmao. thanks for the compliment.

  • Ya i like the tail lights and learned quick that the wheels do not lock up correctly. cut me some slack im on a budget truck isnt done yet. thanks for viewing

  • yea don't worry I think you've done a great job so far. I just had to give you a hard time about something. I'm jealous that you're getting this done because it'll be a while before I can even start my swap.

  • nice truck

  • thanks

  • i found the sound gets better once the muffs get hot a few times

  • yes they did start to sound alot better.

  • does it have headers? mine has 40's too but it has mainfolds.hoping it will sound better with headers.

  • it doesnt have headers yet because i have the p heads. the headers are 800 dollars from torque monster headers. i havnt found a set of headers that will fit the p heads other than custom from that website. they are suposed to add 30 more horse power.

  • what did those seats come out of? you should check out my ranger v8
