    How many of us have done more than one swap?

    Just wondered how many of us guys have swapped V8's into multiple Rangers over the years.

    I've done 2:

    1984 SWB carb'd 302/T5 swap
    1986 LWB efi 302/T5 then on to the 545/C6 monster it is now.
    It's not just a truck... it's now history.

    Does several different combo's in the same truck count? lol... First was an early model .060 over 302 with 289 heads topped with a carb and backed by a c4, then swapped in an AOD, then later to a T5. Converted that engine over to mass air EFI later on. Next engine was a late model roller stock bottom end with ported E7 heads, then added a Kenne Bell at 6 PSI. Pulled that one out and now building a forged bottom end 306 balanced & blueprinted, edelbrock heads, comp xe274hr, with the Kenne Bell at 10 PSI. Next upgrade will more than likely be replacing the T5 with either a TKO or possibly a T56 6 speed.
    306,DSS pistons, Scat rods,prepped stock crank, balanced/blueprinted,Edel's RPM,DSS MSS,ARP,Tmoss GT40 lower,24lb inj,1.6 CompProMags,C&L 73mm tuner tube,65mmTB,Comp XE274HR,RamAir,T5,Tri-y's,Exp 8.8 3.73,Griffin Rad,Dual 11" Spal Fans,TwEECer RT,A9L,2960lbs.

    For Later: KB 1.5L 10PSI,80mm C&L,70mm TB,39lb inj

    I don't think I have one on my work computer.. but this is off his page. It makes it alot easier when you have alot of room for other things.

    It is a 514 BBF mounted backwards behind the driver, runs to a GM style military t-case (that outputs in the reverse driection as a normal t-case) that is just in under what would be the engine bay then a regualy M37 transfer case in the middle of the truck.

    so one BBF, two t-cases, two 5-ton axles, four 66" rice and cane tractor tires.

    I will try to see later if I can find more detailed pics.
