Coyote Powered Ford Ranger Project

[willied]

This thing's almost at its one year anniversary. haha

Yes and no. A lot of custom fabricated parts have been made and are still being made for it. As of now, working on a new and better brake system.

I used to have a 302 in a single cab ranger, it was ridiculous. No traction though, it was awesome til I found out slightly worn tires plus rain plus freeway on ramp and a down shift make Ranger look like a boat. That is awesome though

5.0 will fit in that 07 model. Just need a donor V8 Explorer. They had 240hp with the P heads and mock gt40 intake. Plenty of power to propel a Ranger!




I had a 87 Ranger with a 92 HO/ 5speed for years (96 Explorer 5.0 later on). Truck also had OEM Ranger "GT" ground effects (rare). Also had a Ford Motorsports/Racing 140mph speedometer and a a working tach in the factory instrument cluster.
I sold the truck 10+ years ago and it is still daily driven by the guy I sold it to.

Traction was decent unless you were trying to make it spin. Had a Traction lock from a 86 Mustang 7.5

Wet weather you had to be careful..

Would have never sold the truck if I wife and kids didn't come along. Plus the single cab was just too small!

bump for updates

 

[SteveP]

Making a custom side exhaust kit and stainless brake lines right now and that's pretty much the last of it.

 

[Deez-67]

right on... I'd like to see the exhaust and hear it if you get time to snap a few shots or get some video.

how does this thing drive? is it hard to keep the tires on the ground? seems like a lot of power for a light truck.

 

[willied]

We gotsta see this thing in action! It's too sick not to.

 

[Tha_PiG]

What ever happened to this project?

Anyone?

 

[char259]

Can't believe the updates have been so sparatic??? Two and a half year build!!!! Moving on

 

[07TGGT]

It's BBR, they can't get past the 60', so why would y'all expect them to finish this build?

I should sue for them getting me excited and not following through.

We should sue you for only having 7 posts in two years and using one of them to revive a BBR thread.
