Look what daddy got

[Lonesome7.3]

Finally! I have the perfect engine for my Ranger build. Originally I was going to build a street dominating low slung terrorizer. But, I ended up selling that chassis because it was sitting for too long and taking up space. Yeah, I know it was a dumb move. However, I have a lifted Ranger in need of an engine and a new life. So instead of building that truck with a 390FE and only using it for off road abuse I plan to make it a nice dual purpose driver with this small block. This is a 351W roller out of our 96 F250. It was a good running engine when pulled with over 270,000 miles on the clock. I am not sure how far I am going to take the mods but I do plan a total tear down soon I hope. I plan to post a lot of questions in the near future.

When you are ready for some GT-40 heads, let me know I should have them off my lightning by then

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Will they work on a 351?

 

[Fordsandguns]

They should be off a 351 if they're from a lightning.

 

[Lonesome7.3]

I thought Lightnings had 351's but some one else who owned one told me they had 302's.

If you are parting a Lightning I may need some other stuff to.

 

[Diesel_brad]

Not parting, just building mine. ALL 1st gen lightning had 351s

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Very cool, let me knwo what all you are taking off. I may want your left overs.

I've got the same engine on a stand in my garage, haven't decided what to do with it yet.

 

[BleednBlue68]

That ranger will scream with a 351.

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Even tough I already have the 4x4, I still wish I had a good two wheel drive body and chassis to drop it in.

Have you guys seen that Boss 9 kit Kaase is makn now? I really want one of those badly for my 60 ford panel truck! I got a couple 460's layin around hehe.

 

[Lonesome7.3]

Yes and that kit is oh so very sweet. The price is not bad either.

 

[DeepRoots]

hey lonesome, still have the 390? Or was that just a plan to obtain?

 

[Lonesome7.3]

No I still have it. It is in the 67 Ford crew cab I was going to build. I sold it to a friend of mine but he did not want the drive train. I just have to go get it.
