347 Ranger with old motor

[ShadowReaper1967]

Very nice truck and very clean you ever think about painting it?

[302project]

@ShadowReaper1967 Of course but that would be the last thing. I still have to do the interior, and suspension and besides like this it looks like a beat up truck and not a sleeper which is even better lol

[darkangelglue500]

@302project yeah because it looks like an old piece of shit on the outside but when you fire that baby up, then its like whoah god damn! thats how my truck is the first day of school everyone was saying my truck is garbage and then i fired it up (have a 302 in it) and then they changed their opinions lol

[yamahonkawazuki]

this is awesome. might i ask why you took this engine out? was ther e aproblem or, what am i missing. would love to know.

[302project]

@yamahonkawazuki The blocked cracked in 3 mains all the way to thewhere the camshaft sits. So it got replaced with a boss302 4 bolt main block.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@302project ahh got ya. so catastrophic failure was imminent lol. well already failed but it stll ran. it would have died shortly if driven hard. thes trucks are awesomerodded . and hell a fun to drive. i had an 86 4x4. wiht a 351c in it. ext rad. on rear truck was a beast. fuel economy was terribly bad but wastn miserly either

[JoeyTraumatic]

those gauges are niiiceee!! is that a once piece cluster or did u just swap the gauges indivdually ???

[302project]

@JoeyTraumatic Thanks! I made a custom one piece cluster out of plexiglass. It is impossible to swap gauges since the faceplate is part of the gauge so you have to make a surface for the gauges to sit on. Also I've seen some people making them out of aluminum which is also nice. Good luck!

[TxStYlE4AwHiLe]

dont them traction bars ever scrape low as that bitch is & them lo pros prolly slip for days & days huh when ya stomp it?? u should get the ladder bars thats what i had

[302project]

@TxStYlE4AwHiLe I never had a problem with the bars scraping but I do want to change the suspension but that is in the future

[kawi3000]

Hell of a nice truck you have there man. She sounds like a scolded dog!

[pmanson0624]

Damn thats alot of work !!

[rexthelover0517]

Question for ya wat kind of rear end did u use??????

[302project]

Ford 9 inch with 4.11 gears

[DodgeDweller420]

nice ride dude!!! looks like u put alot of money into that bad boy.

[302project]

You have no idea lol

BTW Thanks!

[04saleenboy]

LOL thats one old motor I wouldnt mind having

[302project]

before it cracked right?

lol

[iBEaSTEYY17]

There's no such thing as a 347. WTF?

[302project]

I recommend you to do a search before you post a stupid comment like that. A 347 is a 302 block that is bored to become a 347 stroker, in other words it went from a 5.0L to a 5.7L. If you don't understand what I'm saying again search the web for "what is a stroker engine"

[BaDoNkAdOnK16]

beautiful truck lots of work into it.

[302project]

Thanks!!

[yamahonkawazuki]

@iBEaSTEYY17 off teh shelf no. but stroked out yes.

[iBEaSTEYY17]

That's bad. The only problem is it's automatic. But it's still bad ass!

[302project]

What makes you think is an automatic???

[sk8terrandy1]

there's a clutch pedal in it..

[jordan1991]

whats it matter if its auto? Manual's way more fun obviously but either way its still a 347 stroker and either way its still gonna haul major ass lol. i miss my ranger every damn day but hopefully getting another one this month lol

[WalkWithMeInHelll]

damn you got the exact same ranger as I do, same year and model, i just wish i had a 347 stroker in mine! i love the gauges where the stock gauges were in the dash, thats sweet

[djn00nan]

one of the best on utube.fuck, i just got an intake an headrs for my f150 and im broke eatin ramen noodles already. how long from planning to tuning did it take u?

[mixwell1983]

Quick question.. Isn't a 347 stroker just a 302 block that is stroked/bored ? Its a shame your block cracked bro.

[302project]

Yes. And it's ok I got another block but if this one breaks that's it for me

[Dabigcheez89]

then its time for a turbo 5.0 lol

[302project]

That exactly what's next. I just got to finish the custom exhaust and a tune. I'll be posting vids very soon.

[rexthelover0517]

Hey I was wondering were did u get the rear traction bars at or did u make them??? Because i really like how u have it, and i was wanting to do it to my ranger.Thanks Rex

[302project]

the one that i'm using are from lakewood suspension part number 20470. go to jegs or summitracing. com

[rexthelover0517]

Thanks...

[rexthelover0517]

And what does all come with in the suspension kit?

[302project]

well it comes with pretty much everything like shock absorbers, front springs, I-beams, c-notch pieces for the back frame(which i didn't need) and hardware, but since i put a custom fuel cell right where the spare tire used to be and one of the shock absorber i had to made my own setup for the back springs. I bought qad1 carrera coil overs and made my own mounting points.

[Dshaws90fordf150]

Nice. How much money did the whole project cost? How long did it take also?

[302project]

It still in progress with a second engine and turbo setup but I lost the count after 25g's because everything that I buy is brand new (except for the old 347 "seasoned" block). Now i have a 302 boss that I built from stracth with new forged internals and like I said with a turbo that i'm working on

[superman22x]

It's a never ending expense, lol.

[302project]

Well hopefully everything goes well with the new setup, if not that's it for me for now cuz my fundings are running out but I'll never sell my truck.

[dbest1a]

@302project damn 25k, my wife would kill me ... nice Truck, and great work. I have a 97xlt reg cab, it's my firewood truck.

[streetraceme2k6]

Where in Florida? I'm in Orlando and have an 88 ranger with a 302, caged bed, 4 link and 4:10's locked, c notched and dream beams in the front, etc. Truck looks good!

[302project]

Miami. I got a ford 9 inch with 4:11's locked also front is drop to 5 inches back is drop 5 1/2. Is it hard to install a 4-link? Post some video of your truck

[fordboy111591]

dang dude whatsup with the whistle hurting my ears lol i didnt see and turbo or spc

[302project]

That whistle is coming from the trickflow intake. They make is whistle noise at idle.

[ccooper04]
