Evilthx Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Food for thought... I had a custom built '88 Ranger standard cab. It had a Ranger GT ground effect kit, looked awesome, but under the hood was the fun part. It had a 2.3L 4 cylinder engine..... From a 1985 Thunderbird turbo couple. Something to maybe think about after the stereo.

noser7 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 That ground kit makes it look really elegant I think. That turbo 2.3 sounds like fun bro and best part it's all junkyard stuff. But for my ranger I was actually thinking about putting a 5.0 or a 5.0 with a 5 speed hopefully down the road.

noser7 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hell yea bro I'm excited every time I work on her. Yea that's why a v8 would be good because of the torque output at idle. I meant to put 5.8 instead of 2 5.0's tho. The 351w is a TORQUE MONSTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for my ranger I was actually thinking about putting a 5.0 or a 5.0 with a 5 speed hopefully down the road. Yeah, they do make swap kits for the fox body 5.0 engines. I ran 15 lbs of boost on the 2.3L, no intercooler with the 5-speed and factory 3.73:1 rear gear (there should be a tag on the axle tube or cover if you haven't discovered it yet to know your ratio) I miss that truck. I had an Alpine HU, Pioneer 6x8's in the doors, a single Pioneer Premier IMPP 10" behind the passenger side seat and a 4 channel Power 550X amp pushing it all. It was nice for the time... got it all from Circuit City if that tells you how long ago it was. Looking forward to your build.

noser7 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Damon pretty long time ago. But I'm sure it was efficient af. This little cab amplifies EVERYTHING. Thank bro I'm hoping to get it going by the end of the year hopefully. Thank you for your INPUT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noser7 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yesterday I got around to laying down some Norco 80mm sound deadner. Used about 80sqft in total for my floor and on my ceilings. I also put expanding foam in as much of the gaps I could.
