[QUOTE="FastEddy, post: 1317797, member: 18475"] So My buddys first ride was a 1986 ford ranger std cab long bed white 2 wd with a 2.3 , with some mold and rust:awesomework:. Its been a grat little hoopty ride for the past 5 years. he sold the truck to another freind about 2 years ago, who spent an outrageous amount of money buying everything to turbo the truck, (with no performance internal parts). he drove the truck turboed stock for like a week it stopped running and he assumed the motor was blown and didnt care. sold it back with all the turbo stuff on the motor back to the original owner so he bulit a turbo motor (specs will be below). then he threw it in his wheelin ranger has a 4 in lift and some 33s nothin special. well that truck is getting built into a wheeler with a efi 302 and a 9 in and hp44. the little motor wouldnt handle it, and it blew the fel pro head gasket we put on after the first copper one didnt seal right. so now that motor is out of the 4x4 ranger and going into a 1987 long bed 2wd white as well that he got for 100 bucks missing the engine and with a little bit of front frame damage that is geting fixed and did not affect how the truck drove. so heres the specs and what all is gettin done to the truck and what it came with. all the work is getting done at my shop with my help so i figure why not have build thread. Engine: Ford 2.3 -Mr gasket copper head gasket (using dowel pins and copper sealer this time:awesomework:) -crower forged rods longer than stock -Racer walsh lightened crank -Shorter forged 8:1 wiesco pistons -bored 40 over -Comp Cam dont know the specs -arp head studs -xs power wastegate -xs power turbo header -54lb an hour injectors -255 walboro fuel pump -Bigger fuel rail and a mechanical fuel pressure regulator -bbk throttle body its huge dont know how big it is had to build a spacer between the upper and lower intake manifolds to clear the valve cover -intake manifolds, and throttle body, port and gasket matched -ported and polished head -svo mustang computer and stand alone harness bought new -full gauges -bigger oil pump -A/R (airresearch) garrett off brand T3/T4 -Front mount intercooler -Oil cooler with oil filter relocation kit the lines are huge the system holds 7 quarts future plans are a 16 valve dual valve spring volvo 2.3 head Tranny: -Stock 5 spd future plans are a t5 tranny Rear End: -Welded 7.5 with 3.73s i -Future plans when this blows up are a disc brake 8.8 out of a limited explorer -Springs mounted under axle Front End: -chopped springs. will soon be new i beams that lower it 3 inches with stock springs back in this will correct the bad camber using the curent driving truck as donor truck for the front part of the frame and the tranny now for some pics First pic is of the beat up ranger [/QUOTE]
