Fairly sure anyone with a stock ranger is looking at this, then their ranger expectantly while waving arms at the one with a 302 like "See...come on!!!"
I know a guy who swapped a 302 in an 80s Ranger way back in the mid 90s. The 302 wasn't putting out a whole ton of power over stock, but it still remains the fastest vehicle I have ever ridden in. It was scary fast.
Back in 1998 I had a 92 ford ranger std cab short bed that I swapped with a built 302/c6 & a narrowed 9” w/ 4.11 gears. Thing was a rocket and a blast to drive in summer beating up on mustangs and Camaros.
I had an 85 mustang 302 with an high rise cam, 2.5 hooker exahust , 8.8r w4.11 , C6 trans w stall converter and shift kit would have gave you a nice run. 👍😎
I got a 96 that I've owned for nearly 18 years and that little bastard just won't stop. I will truly miss that truck when it's gone, the most dependable vehicle I've owned by a long shot.
GM made it, in the form of the 5.3L Colorado. I have two, a 2012 Z71 4WD and a 2011 ZQ8 2WD, both extended (not crew, but unfortunately you couldn’t get regular) cab, both with 4.10s. The big one has the factory G80, the little one a Detroit Truetrac. A Magnuson blower and Tremec swap are coming for the little one. Dodge also made 5.2L, 5.9L, and 4.7L V8 Dakotas, and you could even get the 5.2s and 4.7s in regular cab with a stick. Ford lost a lot of money not building like a ‘Ranger GT’, and GM should’ve put an LT1 in their S10 SS and later LS1 in their S10 Xtreme.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Ford did have a concept ranger with a boosted 302, regular cab and a 5 speed. I agree, they lost alot of money not building it.
Not surprised haha We used to drop 350's into the little S10's and change out the rear end and all of a sudden you had something very fun and very fast.
Your truck is sick. There was a tuned chevy colbolt that thought he was going to run my '84 thunderchicken with a 347/c6, I kept toying with him in 2nd gear and he got mad when he lost lol.
That’s a awesome truck love to see something built outrun a factory car that anyone can buy. Got a 85 ranger been collecting parts and cash up to 302 it.
I used to have the GM equivalent of this Ranger, essentially (LS1/6-speed from a Camaro with a 9” with 4.10s and a Detroit Truetrac in a ‘98 S10 standard cab short box). It was shockingly fast with shockingly little work. Guy I sold it to rebuilt the motor with all good forged guts and bolt-on a Magnuson blower and it’s absolutely RIDICULOUS now. Light = right. You don’t need 1,000 hp when you weigh 1,000 lbs less than the other guy, haha! My 5.3L Colorados are no slouches, and they’re fairly stock.
@@andrewquezaire347 Mine was around 2900, it didn’t have much in it. A Charger weighs like 4600. I don’t think a 2.2L 5-speed 2WD regular cab weighs that much, anyway. My 5.3L extended cab Z71 4WD Colorado with 33”s and a topper only weighs like 3900.
Man she looks great and sounds great I love me a Ranger did ya roll em fenders I love the tucked wheels look I wanna find me a 1st Gen 80s ranger and also a 94 Supercab Ranger
I have a 98 mercury mountaineer with a original 5.0L it was a gift from an uncle. Up to this very day it's my favorite vehicle on my driveway. Loud too sounds like a fox
I knew a guy that used to run a square body mid 80's Ranger with a 351C stroked to 377 cu in. It would leave most appearing to moving in reverse from a stand still.
I've got a 91 Ford ranger 3.0 l v6. White w/ red pin stripes on lower half. It is a long wheelbase two wheel drive. Premium 14 inch factory aluminum bullet hole wheels. Here's where it gets interesting. This truck has power locks, power windows, cruise control, tilt wheel, air conditioning, premium sound, including two factory 8-in subwoofers behind the seats ( cassette only) . Four-speed automatic transmission on the tree. My dad bought it new and I've had it for 15 years or so and the abuse that I have given that truck was ridiculous. It had a problem with the coolant leaking really badly and I would drive the truck in the summertime until it shut off and wouldn't go anymore. Let it sit for 30 minutes and start it back up I'm going to take back off. I did that more than a hundred times. I put some sort of stop leak in it and it doesn't b.leak coolant anymore. Has a good transmission in it that is true positive traction when you launch it in second gear it spins both wheels and all the years I've had the little thing I've never gotten it stuck and I've had some pretty hairy places cuz I used to call junk in it all the time. If you have a good battery some starting fluid and 5 gallons of premium gas it'll start every time. Speaking of gas , to get the fuel pump to engage I wired up a switch, the switch being a light switch as you would have in your home screwed to the dash under the steering wheel. It works nice considering that factory harness goes bad I just bypassed it and put a light switch on it. Sadly at this point it's just sitting in the backyard. The only rust is on the passenger rear side where I got ran out of the road there's a scuff that took the paint off. Other than that there's no rust on that truck anywhere. I love my Ranger.
I seen the ranger hit it and let up because of spinning due to wet track, I’m guessing the high dollar hellcat did the same since he didn’t jump out the hole they they normally do
@Captain R heard of up-badging from the Cringe filled Mopar community but never heard of down-badging cars that got smoked... That slow ass hellkitty does deserve a demotion though so we'll both pretend it was a V6 if that helps soothe your APR pains...
Rangers are light compared to a Challenger… hell, they’re light for anything. Drop a V8 into it, drop it, and make it look sleek, and you’ll be ripping for days.
In my younger years there was a secondhand dealership near Camp LeJeune with an S10 that had an LT1 swap in it. They did NOT allow test drives as you could imagine lol
Got a pretty nasty 3.0L in my 96 supercab, but I got a 5.0L waiting on the sidelines to get dropped in this year. Hopefully before Holley ford fest gets here this year. Went this past year and got my truck autographed by Vaughn Gittin Jr. Himself and also did some autocross racing. it was a blast but I'm coming back more competitive this year

I would love to swap the 5.7 from my 1995 GMC Sierra into a NB Miata. 200hp, 310 ft-lb of torque, 4 speed auto with a 3.40 rear gear. Since the stock motor in my truck only tops out around 4400-4500 rpm, in order to go fast I'd need long gears for a car that light to go fast with that much torque.
Yeah all those guys out there with those hellcats and the chargers those things are junk good old Ford first on race day I’ll push my Ford any day of the week over driving a Dodge 👍
i build a hot rod my uncle gave me a 88 ford ranger . me an my friends worked on that car for 5 months at school. doing some cutting an modification dropped a 302 boss with s t3 turbo c6 transmission 4:11 gears.

It’s going to happen, I have a few projects to clear off the table first. The thought popped into my head the moment my nephew was talking about getting a ranger for his first vehicle. I just wanna see for myself how fast the little bastard would be. Already building a 347 for my 4 wheel drive.
I beat a S-10 with a blown 383 from a roll (he wanted to do the roll) in my supercharged LX coupe. He had more cubic inches and less weight, but I had much more boost.
