[BiohazardDingleberry]

That is one squirly mother fucker in the white shirt!!

[Oscorm]

Hey nice job have there!! U have to make custom motor mounts? I have a 89`s v6 but I want swap to v8

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

@Oscorm Haha nice.Yeah my brother had to make his own custom motor mounts to swap the 351 Windsor in there.

[Motorfordtoyota]

They shoulda made it a factory option, along with the S10 shoulda had the 305 and 350 option!

[timforsyth89]

back fire ha

[KenMacMillan]

I want one.

[tubbed450r]

sorry i hate to be that guy but my ranger fired right with very minimal tuning afterwards and agree with dtpchilli4life ALWAYS do installs at tdc ALWAYS...and i also did a 400 sbc with a sm465 and 9"rear end...but i do like the kid that jumped that was good.....one last thing why was everyone running aroung like they were on pinks or something chill out a little overall ok

[VanDub]

if you slap in a 302 you need a new tranny right? which means you dont' have 4x4, espectially if you pull it out of a crown vic or something, am i rght?

[dtpchilli4life]

Shouldve timed it to tdc before attempting to start it and double checked that.. Backfires could hurt.

[700whpfocus]

I was looking to do a v8. which one woud u reccomend? 351 or 302? I was looking for an engine which there is tons of aftermarket support. i want fuel injection............put a turbo on it. looking for 350-450whp! do u think a 302 on boost?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

@700whpfocus A 302 swap is easier to do since you don't have to make custom motor mounts. I think it would be cool if you stroked a 302 to a 347 and turbo'd it.

[germanslovakian]

351w can handle alot more hp. their stronger and plus you would have more cubic inches to help you get your power goals. just do some reasearch on a ford lightning forum. those guys turbo 351w all the time.

[700whpfocus]

i have a 1994 ranger splash with the 4.0 ohv motor. i am thinking of swapping a v8 or a v6 in it. i would love to put the 2011 ford mustang 3.8v6 in it. it puts out 305hp.

iwould like to put a more up to date motor in the truck. any suggestions? i wanna make the swap as easy as possible. where do i begin?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

@700whpfocus I'm not really sure man. Try researching online if anyone has done any kinds of motor swaps like that befrore. I only know about swapping 351's and 302's into Rangers.

[jordcap619]

@700whpfocus you might as well keep the mustang if you buy it for the engine???

[MyGta123]

this in wisconsin

[Dshaws90fordf150]

Nice. Did it go in without any problems?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

Not really I guess. He had to make custom motor mounts and headers. Besides that he had to bend back this one lip on the firewall so the bell housing would clear.

[Dshaws90fordf150]

lol nice. Does it go good? How much is it pushing out?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

Back then it had 241rwhp and ran 12.8 @ around 101 or 102mph floating the valves. Now it has 320rwhp and runs 11.7 @ 116mph. At one time it made 340rwhp and ran 11.4.

[Dshaws90fordf150]

Jesus. Nice. I always wanted one a 1986 with a 351 W.

[IownAPieceOfShitFord]

Next time use a mustang II C4, Headman shorty headers, Oil filter relocation kit, and pre made mounts from James Duff. Makes the swap as easy as dropping in another 4 cylinder or 6 banger. You can use an econoline van 302 oil pan from the junk yard and you wont need a dual sump. You still have to roll the trans tunnel seem a tad but not much. Then just relocate the trans X member and your in business.

[IownAPieceOfShitFord]

AND..... before you start it up next time make sure its not 180 degrees out on timing so you dont blow the intake off :-)

[radiokiller07]

180 out

[HotRodDT]

haha that one guy is jump!

[mornin151]

X2 haha

[clonesandbriggs]

hey retards see the timing gun they were messing wwith timing now whos the retard monkeys

[dethklok666metall]

shut up

[PvtBl4ckburn]

bad asss!! v8 rangers kick ass

[Sierrafox17]

357? is it bored out?

[one700rmk]

Bored .030" over.

[mixwell1983]

seems like the timing is way off.. How can you guys say ohh monkeys fucking a football. This was probly an early startup after the rebuild. Im sure when you've rebuilt a motor it didn't start up and run proper without some tweaking and timing adjustments.. I think its a sick ass ranger myself.

[Fireheart528]

@mixwell1983 If I did that to a Ranger, I'd use the Buick 350 V8! Sweet sounding motor.

[mixwell1983]

@Fireheart528 - I don't know if the buick 350 is similar to a chevy 350 but i would think after boring a 302 to a 347 or 357 (unless it was a 351) you'd pretty much be using a similar engine minus the manufacturer.

[fordguyf1501994]

get this video off youtube its a discrace to ford owners  you jackass

[Blueford1979]

yeah, im a ford guy and this looks like a bunch of monkeys trying to screw a football.

[fordguyf1501994]

i mean its nice but ppl who dont like ford are gona hate em even more lol and yes they are a bunch of monkeys lol trying to screw a fucking football omg ur fucking hilarious!!!!!

[Blueford1979]

they should get this thing running, and THEN make a video. BUNCHA MONKEYS XD

[fordguyf1501994]

lol yeah!!

[Blueford1979]

let me rephrase that, they should have someone get it running for them. ( =

[one700rmk]

hahahahaha, I'm sorry if I have offended you, but this is truly reality tv. All I know now is it holds its own on the strip.

[brianhand78]

60 dollars an hour would not be a bad investment to hire somebody to get it running right but dont give up you will eventualy get it right

[maplelaffs]

'retard' the timing

[tbirdpimp07]

perhaps if u set the timing right it might start!

[REDRIDER1277]

or the 428 CJ......LOL

[kfotwo3]

it a fucking ford there junk get a chevy with vortex V-8 only good motor ford ever build was the 351 wensur

[super2ner]

maybe your forgetting about the 302 or the turbo four or the 4.6 mod or the supercharged 4.6 or the 5.4 or the mod 5.4 or the sper5.4 mabe you get the point

[kygospelpiano]

don't forget the 289...300-6...the 351C...390...427...429...or the 460. You left out the classics lol

[gregger454]

I never knew that chevy made a "vortex" and ford ever made a "wensur"

Vortec,Windsor???????

[chevymotors]

HAHahahahahah!!!!!

[uscar17]

OWNED HAHAHAHHAH

[codylovesfords]

fords 351 would come in 2 different types a clevland and a windsor idk bout chevy

[Fxr1212]

why would i take advice from someone that cant even spell windsor right?

[mcvey21]

get a G.E.D. you black ass-hole

[maplelaffs]

wensur eh hktd on phnix little man

[lilpimpinkkidd06]

timing so off.

[xbrent1985]

3 idiots working on a truck..... Adjust the fucking timing you retard....Damn i can set timing by ear, have it running by itself and then fine tune it with the gun. You guys need some mechanic skills.

[natefomoco88]

didnt relize they were looking for advise guys....col your shit. If i gad to guess this little rangers alot cooler then anything youve owned.

[fishtaco2007]

ok now i want to see it move

[lonerwolf289]

nice little truck. im helpin a bud do a 92 the same way, just with a 302. he saw my 289 aerostar and had to have a small block in his truck! question- what did you do about the oil filter, the 96 explorer 5.0 has a turned adapter will that work in the older chassis? or do we need a relocation kit?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

I'm not sure what you need to do about the oil filter on your friends Ranger. On my brothers Ranger he had to use a relocation kit.

[lonerwolf289]

thats what i thought. the steering box is in the way and we didnt want to convert it to rack and pinion. i saw the vids of it runnin 11's what heads did you get, gt40?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

My brother got AFR heads with 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves.

[lonerwolf289]

Those are good heads nice choice.

[mstngsrule68]

go find the stock filter, then take a while in ur parts store matching for a shorter filter. all that needs to be the same is the thread, and the size of the oring

[lonerwolf289]

Oh yea it just takes the FL300, thats what i use on my aerostar. i have to wedge it in to get it to fit. I was thinking of using the explorer cause its also a cooler.

[makingmulletscool]

little jumpy are we

[rwny62882]

lol right

[moparranger]

well i build race cars and i dont think that is a lot of work done to that motor tho . ive put 302's in rangers and they will run 12.40 with a slightly mild motor's in them but it is still a kool lill truck man .

[DoubleK20]

How many degrees do you have it timed at?

[moparranger]

nice truck sound good i got a 86 with a big block ford racing 460 tubed with a 12 point roll cage and i didnt spend 9 grand tho i did it for like 3,500 not including the motor and trans. the motor was 9,000 and all the work that i did to it .

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

Yeah, if you don't count the motor and transmission, it cost my brother between 1 or 2 grand.

[moparranger]

what kind of motor is in it and what is done to it if u dont mind me asking.

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

It's a 351 windsor bored out to a 357. It's got 1970 mustang heads with 1.94 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves. A .532 lift cam with 224 duration I believe. It has an edlebrock rpm airgap intake manifold and a holley 750cfm double pumper carburetor. With that setup it pulled 241rwhp on the dyno.

Right now, my brother is putting a cam with more duration in it and some AFR heads with bigger intake valves. With the new setup it should pull around 300rwhp.

[moparranger]

yea well the afr heads will help a lot i kno some that is selling a 351 that ran 11.50 in t-bird

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

Yeah 351w are good engines. You can stroke them out to 408 and make a lot of horse power. My friends mustang has a 408 and it ran 10.09 all motor.

[battery8139008]

ah ok, thanks that helps alot

[battery8139008]

ah ok thanks, and that includes exhaust and everything else needed to do with the swap. where'd he get the engine from?

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

Yeah that was including the exhuast, transmission, and everything else it took to get it to fit. My brother got the engine from a guy at his work who bought it off the internet from some company down in California.

[battery8139008]

hey about did you pay to get that engine and put it in, i also have a ford ranger and im trying to seeing about how much it'll cost me to do an engine swat in it

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

It cost around 9 grand(not counting purchasing the truck) to do what my brother did but that's because it's set up for drag racing. If you just wanted to do a swap, you could do it for about 6 or 7 grand maybe.

[RickyNTI]

sounds like the ignition timing was off

[wheelchairmale]

y did u jump dude? u think the motor is going to jump out of the truck an run at u ? lol

[MAMH121890NWATNA]

That's not me, that's my older brother. I'm the one filming. It's funny, my brother jumped like three feet when it back fired.

[wheelchairmale]

i did a cam break in on mine an it jumped into gear an took off, ha ha ,but it desided to stop so i could catch up with it, ha ha good luck bro,

[wheelchairmale]

good cam break in bro,, check out my 8v ranger its the same year as urs,, look under myspace for 5083892 thats my # on it u;ll see my truck, hope to chat with u , add me ,, peace,
