If someone would pick ours up i'd be all over this as i am about to dive deep into the same swap and it would probably be a cheaper route. If you get a whim you should bring it out to Central Tx and let me look it over :D

Ok , excuse the ignorance. If I could talk her into accepting the current manual tranny setup then what are options for an engine ? Will the late 90's vortec's mount to the ranger or even a newer LS ? If so does it have to be a motor setup for a manual or either and just swap the flywheel...

I like the 97-99 5.7 vortec , i had three of that motor and every one of them got better MPG than the 5.3 's i have had. As far as a TBI 350 , i guess thats just finding one that still runs ? I scour parts often and cant remember the last time i saw a low mileage TBI drivetrain for sale...

Modelo especial or IPA , your speaking my language ! Will do next time we are out that way. Looked all over in that area as it keeps the drive from here a bit shorter , but couldnt nail down what we were looking for. Spent 3 hours offroading in the greater Chama area on the way home looking...

Flew in , drove it , seemed like a it just needed a little carb work. Had some throw out bearing rattle , trimmed up the price to make up for that and the fact the AC wasnt working , drove it home. I'm a sucker for CC buying , usually bites my a$$ every time as i see what it could be with...

Points well taken on the 305 What above mentioned truck should i buy ? The donor for the swap ? It is just a cab on a frame chopped from the pillars up , no front clip , no bed , a rollover. We are in the middle of a 15 acre purchase just outside of Silverton , Co. to start building on , does...

We had a great 62 Daily , sold it to go the V8 route as we live in the hill country and that thing was slow..... I like the diesel option , she doesn't. I run a custom built 02 7.3 powerstroke and am way more comfortable wrenching on diesel. I also thought about a buying a new block with efi...

I understand , 12 years as an OTR driver with half that hauling gas. Prolly have close to 2 million and am the worst backseat driver you've ever seen. She's not bad , but is a smoker , and running a Coil Tubing company where she serves as everything from biller , to collector , to downhole...

Hello All , I have a few questions for the knowers , or those with ideas as to what may fit best , so read forth and fire away. 87 I picked up in Washington last year with the understanding it was a 350 swap already done. The swap was done , not very well , lots of hackey work , its already...

I didnt get any text ?? what do you have going on though ? Call , there is another member looking for one. Pretty happy with the newer one other than a few issues that should have been fixed by the "mechanic" owner , Water pump , Alternator set-up is pretty rigged , timing was retarded to the...

Thanks !! The wife is happy and hasn't seen it in person yet , we will be burnin the board up the next few months , I'm sure

Left Seattle yesterday afternoon , on 6 outside Provo !!! stopped in Provo at Oreillys and did fuel filters,plugs,air cleaner in the parking lot to show it some new owner love.

I appreciate the heads up , however i should be un-boarding in Seattle tmrw morning to look one over. Fingers crossed !!

It looks awesome ! I hope you have better long term luck with plasti-dip than i did. I have done some bumpers and a grill which both held up only a matter of weeks before starting to bubble and peel. Also did some wheels and ended up taking it off as well. I have been using the Rustoleum...
