LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE!! This is an awesome ranger with a v8 conversion. Picked it up off a guy who really needed to sell it so I'm passing the good deal along. Engine is a mildly built 302, not sure on the cam specs but it doesn't flash too high so it's probably just a nice torque cam (rv cam for us old timers, under .500 lift for you technical types), headers going into stacks, intake, and holley 670 street avenger carb (probably too big for a street 302 in my opinion), new battery, electric holley fuel pump (the red one I believe) and electric fan are on a separate switches on the dash along with a push button start. Tranny was gone through at the time of the engine swap 1-2 years ago, and its got a hurst pro-matic II ratchet shifter (pretty fun once you know how to use it, print out the manual online and it takes a lot of the confusion away). Doesn't have a front drive shaft yet so its a 2wd as it sits. Aftermarket gauges all read properly. No radio installed yet but I have one that will come with it. I have had to wiggle the battery cable once to get power to the starter so a new cable is probably in the future. Paint job is a real camo paint job done in thick primer like the military does, not some shiny sticker. Interior is worn but not all riped up, doors rattle a bit when shut, new rubber will fix that if it bothers you. It needs a passenger window, they are $35 at the junkyard. Fuel cap door has been relocated to the bed. Tires are very good 33" with plenty of room for more, tread is like new, front right has a slow leak when just sitting, haven't sprayed any slime in it but it's very slow about 2 weeks before you'll notice but if driven regularly it would be fine. Haven't noticed any rust issues. Feel free to ask any questions or request specific pics before the auction is over, winning the auction does not mean you've won the right to come see if you like it, please do that before. The reserve on this is very very low, like what the tires and lift would cost, or what the labor on the v8 swap would be, or what the engine and tranny would cost. I haven't personally driven this more than about a mile or two due to it not having tags on it but it's loud, fast and fun and I can't find any mechanical issues. If you are within 250 miles I may be able to have it delivered for $300 more, not a guarantee but I'll talk to you after the auction. |

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad
Fri, Sep 9 2016For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
