I picked up a clean extended cab '92 Ranger last week for $425, good engine bad tranny. Tomorrow I'm gonna be picking up an '88 Lincoln Mark VII LSC for $400, good engine good tranny. Gonna put the 5.0HO/AOD into the Ranger
Factory rating for the 5.0HO in that year was [email protected] and 300ft/[email protected]
This is gonna be a budget project, gonna try to keep the whole thing under $1500 including the truck itself so I'm at $825 so far. This thing should scoot pretty quick and get good gas mileage to boot. Curb weight of a stock ex-cab 2wd Ranger is 3100 lbs and the 302/AOD will only add about 100 lbs over the 3.0/Mazda 5 speed it has now.
