Engine is installed for the last time. Forcefully fit the NNBS intake manifold. It is MASSIVE. Blackhorse Racing Universal Poly Engine Mounts from Amazon. Steering shaft assembly also from Amazon.
Man, I'm hoping for the best. I know that worst case scenario if it did have any binding I could move the shaft closer to the engine by probably an inch especially if I did some light denting of one of the header primaries. I only ran the power steering pump with my Milwaukee M18 for testing and it is just not the same as having the engine running lol. My home made welded up power steering hose for the high pressure side seems to work and has no leaks so that is looking like a win.
Awesome! I'm hoping to have an update video on this thing sometime this weekend. It's come a long ways but yet still so much more to do before it starts or drives.
This is great. I have a feeling that when I put the Ls3 in my Vic I will have the same problem with the steering shaft. But you showed me the kit to reroute the shaft. I am so excited. I wish the machine shop would get the block done. I still need to order the hollow stem valves for my 821 heads. There is still alot to do and acquire parts. Your truck is coming right along. She is going to be a beast!!!
Machine shops around here are backed up for upwards of 6 months. And if you want them to fully assemble something, years. Thanks as always for checking it out.
Sometimes it's a little overwhelming when I think about how much remains but we're happy with the progress. It's getting to the point where we might need to make a list lol.
my '94 4.0 still has some life(142,) but I'd sure love a nice stock chevy v8 swap option. Gauges don't matter just need a way to mount an engine and transmission. and maybe some a/c. thats all i'm asking. How has no one made a kit yet
The closest thing you'll probably find to a kit is specific swap parts from a company called oddball motorsports. From what I've seen they seem to have a good reputation. Kind of expensive though.

Have couple of questions I will really like to discuss I am going to be doing a 6.0 swap as well and need help on which wiring and parts to buy to make it fit
I used a factory GM gen 3 PCM and a cheap Amazon / eBay standalone wire harness. One of these days I will try and do an overview video of ALL the wiring. It doesn't take but power and ground plus ignition switch starter cranking signal to make it run but ultimately there is a lot more than that to get it usable.
@@PNW_Car_Mods i do have a 2003 ford ranger edge and im in love with that truck cuz was my first vehicle and I want to try that but im kind of scared about wiring if you do a video about that well i will like to watch it
All from Amazon. Just search for 3/4 DD steering shaft and you will find it all! It's all basically copies of Borgesson hot rod stuff for a 1/4 of the price. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is you should counter or dimple drill all the steering shaft after you get your lengths right so the set screws have somewhere to fully lock into place.
@@JesseGonzales-x8q Go on amazon and search for RABROPAR and BUYMACHINEPART and also ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE. You need two 3/4" DD u joints and one 3/4 DD to FORD TRIANGLE ujoint. Then you need a 24" long stick of 3/4DD steering shaft. Should be around 100 bucks for everything.
Negative. Factory engine harness removed completely. Integrated standalone LS harness merged to the factory chassis harness to make it all work. One of these years I will make a video on the wiring.
@@jessejames7140 Sweet. If you ever see me out there somewhere say Hi. I get people almost daily wanting to check it out. From the gas station to the grocery store.
Man , I watched this entire video as well. I have been really enjoying this series of video and I'm not even a Ranger guy. Making fast progress of it.. and maaan that motor is tight against the firewall lol , just get a bigger hammer lol
I tell ya MM I want to post even more jibber jabber about this truck but there is only so much time in the day! Stay tuned for the next one we are going to try and make a homemade driveshaft!
