that looks tight man, I been thinking about trying to find an older body style and do a 2.3 swap. guess i must be looking for more punishment after the 5.0, wiring was a biznotch but the rest was ez.

SOUNDS LIKE A FINE PIECE OF WORK HOTRODFORD87.
351 WAS A THOUGHT , BUT A FRIEND HAD THE 302, SO WE BUILT IT. DON'T THINK WILL COME CLOSE TO YOUR NUMBERS WITH OUR BUDGET.

SHINODA, KEEP US ADVISED HOW YOUR'S IS COMING.

COBRA SPLASH. A 2.3?? WHEN WE DID THE CONVERSION ON MINE I TOOK OUT ALL THE ELECTONICS AND SMOG. STARTED FROM SCRATCH AND JUST PUT IN A DURA II IGNITION AND DISTRIBUTOR.

Hey man that looks sweet, those Cragars look real nice on an gen 1 Ranger. I was thinking of putting them on instead of my AR's. What size are those and are those the regular ones or the reverses?
