HAH! We ran across some titanium blocks in high school. Since we didnt have a car with air bags, we did the next best thing.....

Thanks for the compliments guys. I didnt figure there would be too much to the tranny swap, but I know very little about carbed applications as well as wiring up engines to run without computers. Just wanted to be sure.
#1. If I'm such a "Bad influence", how is it that the end result of my influence has you in that nice little truck?
#2. I'd put a 4R70W in it if it were mine. (unless you want to scrounge the pedals, clutch cable, bellhousing, flywheel, shifter, trans mount, driveshaft and what not for an early ranger)
A 4R70W is the automatic behind every stupid engine (v-6 and v-8) Ford put in every mustang, 99 up. It is a true 4 speed O/D trans, that unlike an AOD, does not rely on the converter to "lock up" for a overdrive. The 6 cylinders come w/ a ridiculous first gear (like a 3.something). Internally its better built than an AODE, and the final O/D is like .63. It is about the same size as your big-assed C-6.
On the subject of computers,....It is fully computer driven. Before you glaze over, wave your hand, purse your lips and make that PFFFFT sound,..........It's not like I would offer a tid bit w/o first tasting it for poison.
There is a stand alone controller made by Bauman that will let you dial up shift points, and increase shift firmness all on one little box that doesn't even need a computer to program. This box costs like 525.00.
It is the trans that will go in the Gila Monster.
There,......more bad influence for you to have to wrestle with.

Much newer and a computer would have been an issue, so you are lucky there. NICE PAINT AND WHEELS! The engine bay needs cleaned up to match the rest as you know. Having owned a Ranger, a limited slip and good traction tires will get you far this winter. Do real truck tires even fit those rims? Drift tires and a one wheel burnout differential will get you so stuck.
