I have a 351/408 swapped 1990 ranger with a t-56. To lower it and reduce weight I put in mustang 2 front suspension. For headers I had to make my own. The go into the fender well like what you trying. I still have the factor break booster and master cylinder. The truck was a factory 5 speed manual with a hydraulic clutch the I upgraded to the American powertrain hydraulic kit. It completed Drag Week 2019.

If it's a tremic box not to sure on your bro's car but I converted a hz Holden ute with ls and 6 speed. I cut the hole tunnel causing issues too the fire wall and raised it a round 3 inches welded it back in double seemed it then very light tapping on the switch areas. Worked out perfect and still looked oem with a bit of grinding and TLC 😊

Some swaps are never easy , But you will figure it out and then that Ranger will be a bullet . Dewey rocks

Kyle as you are , your brother has such a calm gentleman like manner, in abundance .Your Dad your Loverly Mum would be so proud of you two nice men .Sincerely Craig

Kyle 84 to 90 pony headers from a Mustang will work great

Dewey is one gorgeous dog. And my girlfriend thinks the same of Kyle. 😮 You go boy...

1966 mustang tri-y long tubes bolt right on with tiny sliver cut off inner passenger frame rail

If u use ricks rangerz raised crossmember u can put the crossmember wherever. Also use the radius arm relocation brackets that delete the cross member that's in your way

Dont use the advance adaptor plates. Lol

Interesting.

The AJE tube front end would of saved you soooo many headaches

Any Chevy parts on that Dodge/ford to help it run?☺

Pls allow me to preface this, I’ve been a prototype CNC Machinist/Engineer 45+ yrs. So when you use 2 different Conrod bearings, doesn’t this make the hole out of round for the crank? Are you hand honing these to size? I’ve always used oversized bearing and honed on the Sunnen hone. Teach me please?

Call hooker, headman, black heart, companies and there is someone who can make them.

Killer Brother looking good

Love your channel and content bro. The only thing that drives me nuts is that if you were an attractive female, the channel would have at least 300k subscribers. Keep up the good works bro! ❤

Saw one like this at a car show in Cedar Park, Tx. I remember him saying he used 1st Gen Lightning factory shorty headers.

What about fender well headers

On the passenger side. Have you considered cutting a pie shape out of each tube and bending the header up so the collector aims at the outside of the frame?

A 427 OR A 351 V8 SHOULD BE IN THE AC COBRA REPLICA??🤔

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

I’m doing a 302 swap now, I can not not have aircon, I’m in Texas , there isn’t many options for headers , there is a guy that makes a really good set but I hear he is slow slow slow to make them, the 302 out of the explorer is an almost direct swap, well I guess it is if you want to reuse the terrible factory manifolds . I’m even considering running the shorty headers backwards then dropping the exhaust down and back in a big arc. Idk yet. I will eventually got to a 351 to get the hp I want reliably .

Yah, just drop that cross member out of there. It's only two bolts. Just like here in Ohio. Meanwhile, an hour later...

I know it's better to have the engine as long as it can go but with the engine sitting up higher it will be easier to fit headers but this all can be solve with custom built headers I mean you said if you found the right headers and all you would need to do is cut the frame and you said it'll take you 4 hours then what's an extra 2 hours then you can build custom ones around the steering rack and around the frame on the opposite side that might be something to consider.

I had a 351w in my 1995 ranger and ran mustang 2 headers

Hello from Tennessee BBK headers hug the block really close they work great on the 351 fox body swaps they might work on the Rangers I would look into it I wish you luck

I have installed a 351-C in several early Fords, Thunderbird, Ranchero, and Falcon, even a Jeep C-J with a boss 302, lots of work, but wow, what a rush, throttle open dump the clutch and hang on, upgrade the brakes so no one dies.

I have a 88 ranger with 289, my long tubes go over the frame rail like your wanting. Swapping a 351w in it currently and it seems like they should still be fine. The driver side steering shaft goes through the middle of them at an angle

Kyle , what about the Holley Quick Time Bellhousing , they have one to suit your engine trans combo .

10:16 - “Whats it like to work on cars?” - That look right there lol

Dude the way you're talking about doing them headers it's going to be 100% ghetto got to find a different way

4 to 2 to 2 both sides x pipe to boom tubes

I bet if you ask Derek from Vice Grip Garage, he knows a solution to the header issue.

He just gave his car vaping habit. ~boB

Just don't try to build a ford! Problem solved!

you can use a set of old "Shelby" style tri-y's for the 65-66 Mustang they are supposed to work with a 351 in a Ranger and fit. they Fit being the key word here this is from a Ranger forum 2006

My recommendation, put everything that belongs in the engine bay, and make your headers that go over the chassis frame and not in between the engine and frame, I will guess it will look more like 8" straight sections before they start the elbow turns,. The exhaust pipes will come outside before the rear tyre, it looks. Very cool if you cut holes on the sheet metal from the bed, there shall be enough space to put small mufflers to tame the loud pedal.

Manufacture torpedo/tube header: You could keep it as tight as you want to motor.

SHOULDA BUILT A CHEVY.....

Oddball motorsports makes a set of LS swap headers that might fit, cut off flange weld on an AFR/Z304 3in pattern flange....oddball motorsports. Or I used these southwest speed block huggers on my 8.2 ,cut off the 2.5 collector and welded on a 90 deg. 3inch pipe and called it a day.....southwest speed. Also you can cut the radius arm cross member out, It really doesn't need it

Try Y headers produce more low down torque and flow just as well in the mid rev range.

Talk to the guy's at Bullseye

We're mostly here for Dewey anyway - the engine building & drag racing are just a bonus.

2 steps forward, 1 step back...progress

Great video!

Loving the Ranger build!!

I doubt you'll see this but if it's any help , I'm in a v8 swap ranger group on Facebook and it seems guys are having luck with tri-y header . I see you talking about it as I type this lol. But seen a few guys use them on the group

Most of the guys put a sbc into rangers because they just seem to fit better in general.

Good video - honest content like your old mans..👍 - Not appreciating the extended junky ads tacked on/ integrated at the front - no way of bi-passing (at the moment) - So I just turn down the volume and go make myself a coffee - come back and rewind to where your actual vid starts.
