[Msteinebach92]

I bet your sidesteps get hot haha

[PaintballerPat]

i love the classic look of the truck. nice!

[kissoffwanker]

what transmisson do you got? im assuming 2wd.

[FordNissanChevy]

@kissoffwanker 2wd c4

[DeanMLFlame]

those pipes look ok...but need to be complete straight pipes and turn out right before the rear wheel well!

[jacobstern14048]

those side pipes they gotta go

[WildTrikes]

Just got a set of rims identical to those for free, not quite as good of shape (a little rusty) but still oughta look sweet. Also my last post was right! I pulled the turbo out and im in the process of finding a carbed 302 for it.

[WildTrikes]

Nice, looks like my truck. Ive got a 4cyl turbo in mine, but i think the heads cracked so I might stick a EFI high output 5.0L in it.

[ihitatree]

[FenixFusor]

[jmanwild]

[danny1760]

i wanna swap my 91 rangers engine with a 302 also what kinda car did u get it off?

[FordNissanChevy]

@danny1760 i dont know i didnt do the swap, nor did i look at the engine serial numbers, all i know is it was from 1974, probably from a Bronco.

[ValkyrieDrake]

@FordNissanChevy not withf the cobra tags... it probably came from a 302 V8 powered Super Cobra...

[dethmetalsuicide]

the 85' is my first ever vehicle its a 2.3 4 cylinder 5 speed. i love it! im still fixing it up

[macdaddy31516]

looks really good, check out my video

[golluba]

damn thats clean!!

[dwman24]

I have a 87 and i love it it as the 2.3 4 cylinder with a 5 speed. I plan on doing a 302 mild cam with a 5 speed. Is that a long wheel base?

[FordNissanChevy]

@dwman24 yes

[USMCKolo]

Damn this truck is famous. I googled 85 ranger and this came up then typed it in on youtube and the same truck came up hah.

[bronco302EFI]

side pipes and rims go well on that ruck man, sweet ride

[jeepman91]

Great Truck

[ford4ever38]

I got a '87 and I love this truck, but I got a 2.3 5 speed

[mitsumivec4life]

FNC, these trucks are my favorite bodystyles from 1983 to 1988. My uncle had a shitload of them when I was a kid. Thanks for posting it.

[FordNissanChevy]

yeah, these are my favorite generation of ranger too. My dad had 2 of them

[xox945]

ive been thinking about doing something like this to my ranger!

what did you get the engine out of? or did you get it out of a junkyard

[FordNissanChevy]

i bought the truck as is. Its a 302 from 1974, which means it more than likely out of an truck, its also connected to c4 transmission, which was also from trucks or muscle cars, but i think its all from an f100

[civicaccordhonda]

nice truck man!

[ZackMcLeish13]

nice truck tommy

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

we need some driving vids pl0x.

[highdeserthater]

OH YESSSS! ford is the best! one question. is the distributer on the front?

[highdeserthater]

never mind. my computer started working the rite way now. lol

[dangeroustoys56]

Looks awsome to me- i like the cragar mags n raised letter tires- the side pipes are wicked as well. i like the added emblems on the side too. Super cool truck guy!

My mom had a 85 crown vic that was supe sweet - i wanted to get some wide slotted or cragar mags, raised letter tires and side pipes with air shocks on it- woulda looked super cool - but some idiot decided to run into it and smashed the hell out of it- we ended up selling it. It had a 302 in it.

[xuberantz]

a 94 AWD talon does 0-60 on 11psi(stock wastegate boost pressure) in 6.6 sec in stock trim.. 20psi built motor on stock heatsoaked intercooler unfortunately [till i get my frontmount intercooler on] + awd launch from a dig.. i say itd be fun :).

[xuberantz]

hehe doubt it

[FordNissanChevy]

if you can get to 60 in under 4 seconds then we will have a good race.

[xuberantz]

nice truck when do you wanna race? :D

[FordNissanChevy]

Anytime bring NOS you'll need it.

[1972FordF100]

Man the Crager mags really make that ranger pop. Dang it looks good!

[chorstma44]

Now thats a Truck! I think that has the Mustang BOSS 302 engine in it. You gotta do some coldstarts!

[FordNissanChevy]

the engine was made in 1974, i have a hunch its from a mach 1, I'll have to look at the engine code.

[jtreign9097]

74 that's mach 1 baby most likely

[BRENTHENRY1989]

can't be the (2.8 L) V6 was the biggest engine Ford put in the Mustang in '74, also '74 marked the first year for the Pinto based Mustang II and 1974 was also the only year that Ford did not offer a V8 in the Mustang, 1975 marked the return of V8 power to the Mustang,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

sorry to bring ya down, but in 1974 Ford introduced the Pinto based Mustang II and the Mach 1 variant in '74, was powered by a 171 cu in (2.8 L) V6, the 1974 model year was the only year that Ford did not offer a V8, the 302w returned in 1975, thus it can't even be from a Mustang II let alone a Mach 1, i am thinking maybe its a Torino motor? or maybe even a truck motor, its hard to say without running the engine code,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

well i hate to be a smart ass, but the BOSS 302 was only offered for 1969 and 1970 in the Mustang, thus its a '74 and not a factory BOSS, but it could be a self made BOSS as that is not impossible, but i highly doubt this motor is a reproduction BOSS, as it has 6 bolts on the valve covers which the BOSS does not have, the BOSS motors have Cleveland heads, and a speical intake, and 4 bolt mains, and screw in freeze plugs, there a very different beast, its more than a name for sure!

[chorstma44]

I said I think it was a BOSS 302. I wasnt sure of it but it looks like you know. Its an older truck and it has the cobra emblem on it and it was a 302 and the only thing that came to mind when you combine mustang and 302 is the BOSS 302. Either way they are both sweet engines

[FordNissanChevy]

The 302 was built in '74. The Cobra emblems dont mean it was a boss, but you can call it one now.

[chunkabcdeg]

BOMBASS TRUCK MAN HOPE U GET SOME GOOD MUSIC CAUSE YOUTUBE IS GAY take care

[FordNissanChevy]
