:think:

[FirstTry]

just a couple days ago i got a

1996 Ranger
reg cab short box 2x4
2.3L 5spd
394480kms
power brakes, thats it, oh wait, am/fm radio.
i guess you could say Armstrong steering is an option.......

the ultimate stripper truck, but, it should be cheap on gas, and the price was pretty reasonable. and its surprisingly clean for the miles on it

it'll do for a year or so,

thinking of a flowmaster, got one somewhere in teh shop, i was reading about a chip and cam for it.
sirius radio for sure, otherwise, just gonna drive it

[98 Ranger Rebel]

So I finally got my torquemonster headers today

[fordtough.ca]

Very Nice
They look so sparkling
:bravo:

[taisa899]

very nice! :thmbup: How much $$$ they run you?



Jim

[FirstTry]

very very nice, and were gonna hold you too your word, you gotta get those pics

[98 Ranger Rebel]

They were 598US, I got a 200 dollar discount for being a member at explorerX, only reason is to get the discount, and don't worry about the pics. On saturday I'll be removing the cab again and rigging these up good. Then start her up with my home made plywood jerry rigged firewall which will end up on youtube for all you's to hear the rumble of hte small blcok ford...damn I'm excited...been waiting since holloween for these headers.

Adam

[98 Ranger Rebel]

Okay, so I installed them this morning but have run into a few drags along the way. First one, drivers side hitting firewall so I braught the engine forward to fix that. Second, passenger sie hitting the heating box which I still have not resolved. Here are some pics.

Passenger side
Any ideas on how to resolve these issues. My first and only thought is to bring the engine up another 1/2 inch and move is more towards the drives side another half inch. I'd have to remake some mounts for that but thats the price you gotta pay. Any other ideas would be great.

[taisa899]

not too many ides here. My question is how is your tranny gonna sit? Will everythiing still line up ok without any interference. And with that being said how about the driveshaft?



Jim

[98 Ranger Rebel]

Tranny sits in pretty much the stock location but I'm gonna move the cross member forward a bit for that and driveshaft I haven't gotten that far yet I'm still trying to get the engine located.

[taisa899]

only reason I'm asking is becuaes when i swapped my 5.0 in place there were 2 lifting brackets that were on my tranny. With the 5.0 cause of the difference in how it sits than the 4.9 i had to remove the brackets cause they were hitting just behind the firewall.

[Smokefan]

Cool! :scared

[98 Ranger Rebel]

I'm using my original 3.0L mounts and making my own plates that will fit for all three mounting positions. So far everything looks good. I'm gonna redo my mounts so that the headers fir right.

I asked Roush69 to come and visit us, He is master mechanic at Ford with tons of experience, he may have some ideas for you

[98 Ranger Rebel]

As it stands now I've pushed the engine over to drivers side 1/2" and pulled it up a bit more. The drivers side has no issues at all anymore but the passenger side is still touching the heater box. Since this is going to be a summer driver only I'm thinking about triming the box a little bit to allow the clearence I need then get some silicone and sealing it. Other then taking the heater right out I still don't see any other options. Any advice or opinions is extremely welcomed. Anyways, I'm gonna leave it for now and redo all three mounts as I have massacured them today trying to get things figured out so hopefully by this next weekend I have it started up with the headers on and the ignition system going.

[FirstTry]

damn cool man damn cool

[98 Ranger Rebel]

I'm just trying to figure out wether or not I'm going to use the heater since this truck wont be driven in the winter, do I just take the heater box off or do I trim it and seal it. I'm holding off today for the race and am going to figure this out today I figure.

if it was a Memhis Belle amp you'd know it. They were massive and about 2500 watts if I remember correctly. Also had Memhis Belle on 3 parts of them. Still though Memphis makes great products.:t-up:
