Guess we won't be seeing the 3b powered Ranger up for sale every other year any more.Log into Facebook

Kinda sad. The end of an era...
2 axles, Turbo 3b, 4 speed, split case, Yukon gears… all for $1000? He clearly hasn’t been following cruiser prices. I know it being attached to a Ranger frame brings the value down, but seems cheap.Log into Facebook

Anyone want to buy the other parts if I bought it for the split case, front axle, and transmission?
What would be involved in converting the 4 speed to work with a gasser input shaft?
Or alternatively, swapping housings on my rebuilt stock four speed (I think also H42) so it’ll work with a split case?

Any other 40 owners who might be interested?
@GTSSportCoupe (we know that you could use a new power plant).
. Although 3B isn’t likely the direction you’d want to head.

You should buy it all and swap to a turbo 3B in your 40! Could use those axles to get your ratios right so you can come out wheeling!
Yeah, turbo 3B would gain me nothing over my current setup. About the same power as I make now, and still a hot IDI engine when towing. I need to get away from IDI.
I'm thinking of either importing a 15BFTE drivetrain from a Megacruiser (amazingly 'cheap' for what they are), or maybe even just bringing in an aussie VDJ76 with the v8 diesel. They're eligible for import now. With the overinflated prices of old worn out cruisers and even pickups now, may as well get the newest cruiser I can for my money.
Far too much work for little gain. I’d be better off rebuilding my spare front end, swapping in the 3.70 gears in the process, and putting my current knuckles on it with their new bearings. While I’m at it, I can prep the ASCO hubs ahead of time to make it all go smoothly. I’ve even got the u-bolts and alignment shims waiting to go in. I still need center bolts for the springs because there are a couple different options and I won’t know what I need till I’m up to my elbows in grease.
Also, I don’t drive it enough to save money with a diesel swap… the knee swap I’d need with a gutless 4 cylinder would be more expensive than a few extra gallons of fuel.
Not sure what he means by week bottom end, unless he’s referring to it not being a 5 main bearing block.
And more importantly, before off-roading, I need to mount the P/S box and plumb it in. I can likely keep up with most of the rigs with my current diffs… but the steering will mess me up in a hurry if it’s not done.
Nice wheels. Flares

I have to wonder what state the tub is in… they’re usually so far gone. Also how sh!tty the conversion is… I’ve seen so many that were terrifying that I’m always skeptical of any V8 conversions. The worst I saw had the engine mounted using two triangles of 1/4” steel mounted to the front of the block using two 5/16” bolts. If any one of the four bolts broke the engine, transmission, and transfer case would soon only be supported by the wing mount across the back of the t-case… and it was also made out of 1/4” steel.
Cool.
You don't see the old ones around here much.
Probably isn't a lot of frame under there sadly.
More frame than my 45 had… but big holes in the pictures of the frame… based on what I saw I don’t know if it was fixable.
Only $75k USD
Yeah. TOM HANKS owns it. I realize that no cheap ass on Vancouver island will buy it.
But there is the fact that this is a collectable. I expect Jay Leno or Tim ‘Toolman‘ will buy it.

Should get that for the trans/transfer case. Too late now though.

I’m posting this without even reading it. If it’s any good it’ll be gone before I’m done
Looks like princess auto is selling a rooftop tent. Or will be shortly.
