love the truck man! get jealous every time i see it! Have you ever got it dyno'd before? any hp numbers for us?

 

[rwenzing]

Nope, never dynoed. Might get it done after the next round of mods.

 

[rngrdanny22]

What more could you possibly do???

Haha, j/k man! Sick truck as always!

 

[dyllanvenezio]

Do you guys all take the bed off to work on the rear? I like the 302, how much were your rotors and calipers?

 

[Olfordtruck]

Nope, never dynoed. Might get it done after the next round of mods.

hold on, MORE MODS?!?!?! depending on what heads you have on that 302 youre probably pushing 500 or damn close to it at the flywheel... thats assuming that the supercarger is a procharger for the 5.0...

I had the bed off to relocate the forward leaf spring hangers for the Chevy 1500 springs. It seemed like it would make the job easier.

The whole rear disc swap was under $200 plus my labor but I was lucky to find some good deals. Those Caddy calipers are in demand for musclecar rear disc swaps and some sites list them for as much as $300/pair. I paid $36 each on eBay. The 11 1/4" vented rear rotors were listed on eBay for a Lincoln but are the same part number as the Mustang SVO. $10 each. Brake flex lines are take offs from the front calipers of a Mustang for around $20/pair, IIRC. The rest of the money went for hard lines, fittings, steel for the brackets, paint, etc.

Except for the headers, blower and injectors, that's a stock Explorer engine. It moves right along but nothing close to 500HP.

Ever since I installed it, I've been collecting goodies whenever the price was right. It will soon get a rebuild with some hotrodding.

dang... get that sucker stroked and forged internals and you'll be flying!

[rngrdanny22]

It was originally a 5-speed when it was a 4.0 and will be again with the 5.0.

 

[rngrdanny22]

What are your plans for running the shifter? You going to remove the computer?

I used a Ford Wiring Manual for a 99 Explorer. Tons of wires and a few new sensors required. AFAIK, it will not work with a factory Ranger PCM (no fuel flow output).

What are your plans for running the shifter? You going to remove the computer?

Yes. The FE and DTE calculation is incorrect now anyway because I've upped the injector size.

 

[rngrdanny22]

ah gotcha... man, you sure know your stuff!

I would have gotten confused and gave up... LOL

 

[Olfordtruck]

so youve pretty much got a 5.0 explorer stuck in a Ranger body then right? lol

 

[rwenzing]

Sometimes it seems that way.

 

[badinten]

you do for the most part its still sick ether way
