I am listing my 1983 Ford Ranger for sale. I really don't want to sell but don't have the time to fully finish it. The thing I have already done is a V8 swap with a C6 transmission and solid axle swap. The motor and Transmission only has around 5,000 mile on it AND THE TIRES AROUND 6,000 miles on them.The motor and trans did not come from a junk yard, it was ordered as a crate motor and trans. I done the solid axle swap using a yj jeep suspension and jeep yj Dana30 with the front brake hardware being brand new( calipers, rotors, and brake hoses, and pads)It is setting on 37x13.50 Pro Comp xterrain tires but could fit 39-40 inch tires. I have a rear disc brake conversion kit for it but have not got around to install it. it also has bushwacker cutout fender flares installed on it
A list of stuff that will need to be done is a front driver side axle shaft and hub, front drive shaft modified to fit ( have a drive shaft, just need to be shortened with a bigger joint put on), a front sway bar, steering gear box, and the Carburetor cleaned due to truck not being drove. Will crank up but after the choke kick off some times will have a hard time idling. the inside of the truck does not have any carpet. it has been sprayed with bed liner spray and the painted. the inside will need some work. it also does not have A/C or a heater. there is also a small rust spot above the windshield on the driver side
The 13gal gas tank was replaced with a 20gal fuel cell which is bolted in the bed of the truck. WITH A LITTLE WORK COULD BECOME A DAILY DRIVER in some area but where I live it is sitting to high to be street legal
The truck is being sold as is and i would strongly recommend towing it mainly because of high it is sitting with no sway bar and the front hub bearing assembly and the steering box. I also have a extra set of leaf springs that will fit on the front , and the rear disc brakes, and any other parts I may still have for the truck. It does have a clear title but do not have the title because of where I live, it is old enough to not have to have the title. just in the motor, and transmission I have around $2,500.00 in it and the wheels and tires another $2,200.00 and thats not counting the extra stuff. The only reason I am listing it is because I got to many project going on and don't know when I will get back around to messing with the truck again. It is also being sold locally so I reserve the right to end the listing early If you are within 150 miles I can deliver the truck for an additional charge. feel free to ask any question you may have. Also if you dont plan on buying it don't bid

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
