cant wait to see more.. but i do suggest doing a sn95 tubular front suspension swap .. that will give u the rack and pinion steering you want... i have seen ppl put on the sn95 tubular k-member kit on these trucks, they do work with a little modification.. and you can order them with the tubular front a-arms... yes!.. you will have to source your own spindles ,rotors, calipers ... and build some sort of shock tower...ect.. but easy to find at a junk yard.. assuming of course its still in your budget... ..ive also seen ppl build the shock tower stuff in different ways.. its on youtube and you can look threw google via images
I appreciate the info. Curious to see how that is done. I had been wondering if the Fox/Fox-4/SN95 platform K-members would work or bolt up. A lot of the stuff from a Fox body Mustang works with the Rangers. I actually already ordered a suspension that just showed up yesterday, but I haven't opened it up yet. That video will becoming soon. The K-member would probably be the cheaper route. You just told me too late. lol
I will love watch all the process of this truck I have a 89 too and I was thinking about 351 but I’m looking that is more efficient a coyote but the space was a big problem
I've just started watching your series and I know it's been 7 months but I'm sure someone has suggested switching to an electric steering setup. I know it can be done on my '03 but I don't know how extensive it is to be done on your generation. All I do know is everyone that has it loves it! I look forward to watching the rest of your videos! By the way mine's chrome yellow!
Sorry, I missed your comment somehow, but yeah, electric steering had gone through my mind. I ultimately went with Hydraulic because I was going with Hydroboost for the brakes. I could have gone with manual brakes or electric pump for the Hyd. Brakes but decided to stick with Hydraulic Steer/Brakes.
@@mr.ls-s860 The old 5.0L had a wiring harness/fuse panel from Ford Performance. I would have to dig through my paperwork to find the part number. I don't think they sell that anymore. The new 5.0L, I bought a Control Pack from Power by the Hour for the Gen 2 F150 engine. It comes with the engine/tranny harness, ECM, throttle pedal, etc.
Yes. That's kind of plan Z though. I prefer a puller. I actually have an extra puller from another project i want to use and I'm pretty sure i will have enough room. There is room for a pusher in the front but the radiator support has 2 rectangular openings for radiator airflow so you would need to run two smaller pushers to fit on the radiator unless you cut the radiator support so it has one big opening. I also plan on mounting a tranny cooler in front so another reason i want to use a puller style. One of my next videos will be covering the radiator. Thanks for the comment.
Great video Ford power forever baby l have been wanting to see someone put a coyote in a ranger that is going to be a bad truck Chevy and Mopar killer good luck
@@scmotorsportsI will once I get the front shipped. There's a build thread call aje front who's done it on the ranger station I think. You can Google it. It's what made me pull the trigger. Dude built a yellow LS swapped splash using the kit and it is awesome.
Man shine, a 331 or 347 was a drop in. I'm assuming that thats a stock 5 liter you already have in there! The $ to hp is ridiculous on that swap, but it ur money and ur truck!! My buddy put a pushrod 5 liter in an early Ranger! It was the only vehicle that actually tested my anal retenion!!😂😂😂
Yes, it was a stock 5.0L SBF and yes it would have been way cheaper to just build up the SBF, but a lot of people have done that and then I wouldn't have that rare, cool factor. Plus it is a fun challenge. 😉😉
@@scmotorsports How old are you? You got so many hours! You had a great ride! You're obviously young enough to be bored with a great thing, but it's OK, let me know if it's that much faster!
