MY NEW PROJECT

1994 FORD RANGER DRAG TRUCK

PROJECT 

"DERANGED"

UPDATED JANUARY 20TH, 2006

THE OLD T-BIRD WAS RUSTED BAD IN THE REAR SO I DITCHED IT AND GOT A 1994 RANGER INSTEAD.

Here's the naturally aspirated combo I'll be starting 07 with:

351W bored .030" over (357-CID)
re-conditioned stock "football" rods with ARP Waveloc HP bolts
Speed-Pro .030" forged pistons, 8.56:1 compression ratio
Home ported E5 351W heads
ARP head bolts
stock 1.78/1.45 valves with Comp Cam springs 10 degree locks/retainers
Erson anti-pump up lifters
Erson hardened pushrods
Weiand Stealth high rise dual plane intake
Holley 650cfm dual feed double pumper
Stock Duraspark-II dizzy, Accel cap/rotor kit
Crane HI-6S ignition
Holley lasershot pro-strip coil
Comp Cams 280H grind flat tappet camshaft (.512" lift, 230 duration)
Longtube headers, 3" collectors and 1-5/8" primaries
85 Crown-Vic double hump oil pan
9mm FRPP plug wires, Edelbrock gear drive

WE ARE BUILDING THE ENGINE MILD FOR SEASON ONE WITH PLANS OF TWIN-TURBO-CHARGING IT FOR SEASON TWO. I'VE BEEN TINKERING WITH THE TURBO INSTALL AS SEEN IN THE PIC BELOW.

WE ARE PLANNING A TWIN-TURBO SETUP USING TWO GM 6.5L TURBO'S WITH A LARGE AIR TO WATER INTERCOOLER AND POSSIBLY METHANOL/WATER INJECTION. I MADE MY OWN ENGINE MOUNTS, I NEED TO INSTALL A OIL FILTER RELOCATION KIT TO CLEAR THE MANUAL STEERING BOX. I'M CURRENTLY BUILDING A CUSTOM REAR CHASSIS WITH A COMPETITION ENGINEERING 4 LINK SETUP AND AN EXPLORER 8.8 AXLE.

THE NEW FRAME WILL BE 24" WIDE TO CLEAR THE 13X30X15 SLICKS. THE AXLE WILL BE NARROWED IN THE WINTER OF 08 AND A NEW FRONT FRAME SECTION WITH A DIFFERENT FRONT SUSPENSION WILL BE FABRICATED AS WELL.
