so now that my car is done i have WAY too much time on my hands. i have fixed everything on all my friends and familys vehicles and have quiet a bit of cash saved from these.
i have been thinking about what to do next.............
i have my little 95 Ranger with a 3.0 in it. the truck has over 250K on it and the engine is getting tired. i found a nice used 5.0 long block with AFR heads, roller cam (not sure what cam) and a Holley systemax intake on it for $1K. it is in my buddies fox right now. he is swapping in a TT 4.6 and doesnt need the old engine anymore. so now i'm thinking about a V8 swap for my old high school DD. most likely swapping the EFI for a carb and setting it up with a fairly aggressive cam and a large shot of N2O. i'll most likely back it up with a stalled AOD and swap in a 8.8 from another Ranger with a spool and some 31 spline axles.
i've been looking around and this swap has been done many times before. does anyone know a place to get some good info on this? what headers, oil pan ect i will need to get??
