- some burnouts and a few pics along the build. this was a 2.3 2wd 5 speed ranger I swapped with a stock is 302 with a wore out c4 then I went to a 400hp blueprint crate engine had the dead c4 behind it for a while then went to a Freddy brown aod. this is just some of the pics and videos I have left in ny phone.
That’s prolly one of the coolest trucks I’ve seen.
You haven't seen very many trucks then. This is a pretty mild build.

Probably learn english
So dope, single cab and v8.... dream sports truck right there!
Man can't wait to put a 302 n my danger ranger thanks
Looks like a mini Lighting SVT
that was exactly my goal! that was what we all called it, "the mini lightning "!
What are the seats out of?
What radiator did you use for your build ???
I literally have a black ford ranger just like yours but Mines a v6 kid you not this it what I've been trying to aim for !!!!!!!!!!
Mines a 99 tho
Bro is this in west tx??
Badass truck tho! I’m actually looking at the same swap
pretty nice for a Ford lol
what car were those seats from?
One set was from a explorer the race buckets were aftermarket
@@aydawg18 thank you did u have to do any fabrication for the explorer seats?
@@johnd0ugh from what I remember they just bolted right in
Interested in building another?
are you looking to sell it? I will buy that right now.
lol I sold it a couple years ago. I kept the crate engine and sold it with a stock 302 for 3k .
@@aydawg18 awwwe I gotcha alright. I was about to look at an 04 with 150k on it but it had electrical and Clutch issues. I have enough shit boxes to rebuild figured I'd ask to buy something already done up.
this almost makes me cry ..so much hard work. i remember when i had my 94.. you brought me memories
Great job on the truck! I like how your not afraid to use it. Did you use the factory throttle cable? If so did you shorten it?
thanks! haha right thats whayvi built it for! i used the factory cable uncut

@@aydawg18 is 2004 ranger better than 2004 hilux???
I think I just got an idea if my old man ever wants to sell his ranger thanks🤝
I feel like my mind is breaking just hearing a truck that's identical to mine except for yours is a different tone of black but hearing it idling like it's about to eat the neighbors S-10 gets me every single time bro thats one helluva truck you've created wow bravo 👏
Just found the same truck and going to pick it up and do a swap. Great vid brother!!!
That is a weapon! We are building a Daily Driven Landspeed 93 Ford Ranger on our channel. Sticking with the 3.0l V6 for now though. Love the chop on that Blueprint 306!
i like how u drive it kinda hard at the end to show us what it can do instead of just shots of it cruising down the street
When I installed a 460 in my factory 4 cylinder 83 mustang I had to beef up the front suspension
wow thats a rowdy Ranger. Love the rumble from that exhaust
Don't blow a head gasket trying to do doughnuts now. BTW you're doing it wrong. You need to power break while hitting the throttle after you throw the rear, in the direction you want.
I want one of them. Then I will pick up John, the love of my life, and he and I will ride away and live happily ever after. Amen.
I want to go old school with my 2000 2wd Ranger and do the 302/carb swap - my question is what do I do with all of the computer wiring to the original 3.0 and I still need everything to still work in the truck (fuel pump, lights, radio, ignition, gauges ect)
I wired around all the efi stuff didn't hook up what I didn't need. Then went back and chased all the wires back to the plug on the pcm and pulled the unused ones. As far as gauges I made an aftermarket cluster with analog gauges
That's a bad cat I'm wanting to do this so bad. Nice truck buddy
@ 4:12 👈👈 yep. That would be how I feel right now. 😬
Thats the best ranger ive ever sen it was👍 osem
Awesome truck! How much did it All cost (ball park idea) to get it all finished? This truck badder than an SVT Lightning pound for pound IMHO as a Ford fan. Kudos to your team who made this dream become a reality 👌🏅
That's awesome, what kinda seats are those?!? I Wana put new heated and cooled seats in mine real bad. I found a guy that's got Lincoln seats for 350 for 2 beige seats... I don like the color but I want the comfort and leather and heat and cooling action.
Sweet little truck. I have one that looks just like it.
Now that’s a Ford fucken ranger
Where did you get the instrument cluster come from?
Amazing job. Also your a saint for showing dyno results lol
Really?
hello im in the process of dropping a blueprint on my ranger. which engine did you go with?
I did the 390hp 306
A lil turbo 4cyl with a tune will beat that thing
That's my ring tone. Lol
Original front bumper?
You selling this truck?
Hell yeah!👍
absolutly sensational
Wow I love ford rangers
Bro I’ve got an 03 regular cab XLT with about 90k miles. I’d love to put a pushrod 302 in at some point. Do you happen to know if any tremic 6 speed mates with a pushrod 302?
which swap kit was used
What bumpers are those bro?! So sick!
My dream truck.Sure miss my old 5sp 3.0 2003 Splash.I want it back with a 5.0 in it.
😮
Man that's sweet! Can you imagine that with boost?
1:50 -This model is 1993 to 1997.. but this front bumper looks different to me cuz i have a black Ford Ranger Splash 1995....??
geat muscle truck, i hve the same project , with a 2003 ranger , but a 351w aftermarket super flow heads and supercharged , im thinking about what transmission could to make the work in that beast.
When you purchased your blueprint crate engine did you have any problems getting it I tried to purchase one to do my swap in a 97 Ranger they tell me it would not work
Hi, where did you find motor mounts? I got frame and was hoping to find bolt on mounts, and use the frame for a 49 chevy pick up body swap.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️👍
Wow...how much did all that cost? I have a '97 Ford ranger that I would love to do that with....
the swap kit was like 700. and there was probably another 300 in random stuff to make it work . depending what motor you go with and all that will determine what it really cost you lol
I appreciate all the piks... Hard work i know
Esta hermosa una verdadera máquina
Nice! I put a 302 in my 2000 Ranger. It's carbureted. Trying to figure out how make my a/c work. Did you hook yours up or delete?
What do you need for a swap like this on a 95 ranger 2.3l manual?
@@VirussCx if you want to do a 5.0 automatic this is what I've heard, the stock ranger 8.8 rear end will work. Get a 5.0 and all the wiring from a ford explorer with a 5.0, the ford explorer engine mounts, I've heard explorer transmissions work, and maybe a custom driveshaft.
What headers did you use for your 302 in the 2000 ranger?
Yeah back in the day you could buy one like this direct from the factory. They called it a dodge dakota. Came with different V8 options even!
Old aid
That’s really sick, I would throw some big mustang brakes on it or something. Those wheels would show the brakes off nice
What all did you have to do to get it wired up where it will start and get power back to the accessories
I love your build I always wanted to build a stepside just like now you need to put a coyote in it and really raise hell
That's a bad ass Lil ranger I can't wait to swap one like this, you set the bar bro👍
Im trying to get a Taurus sho engine in my ranger, they bolt up to the stock transmission but need s mounts and etc
I used to live in Rice Lake Wi!
Nice ranger, excited to put mine together when it warms up.
Are you anywhere near the south brother?
Nice build man👍👍
thank you. it was a fun little truck
@@aydawg18 was??
@@vonnsnyder2481 huh?
Where’d the seats came from, and do they bolt right in?
Amazing truck, I have the same year same color but it’s the v6
I have a ranger 2000 v4 and I want to do this to it. How much for the swap in average??
This dude has the water level music from Mario 64
why would you waste all this time money and effort on a Ranger lmao 🤣
Awesome truck
Hey man im currently building mine im puttin a 302 in mine aswell did u have to cut the motor mounts when u put urs in or no
I gots a 2000 single step side black ranger i would like to get this swap done
Clean truck dude get yourself and nice bed cover that would do the trick 👍👍
What's that stereo and how hard was it to retro fit it to that interior?
This is gonna be my project for my truck 👍
Nice truck man how did you get those gauges in your dash
I cut the gauges out and used the back piece of the cluster to bolt it in. I got some thin plastic sheet and screwed that to my backer for the cluster. then I cut the holes where I wanted the gauges and popped them in. I'll have to look for the pics
@@aydawg18 that would be great if you could find them thanks
Looks like a blast
What size tires and rims do you have on that super truck
Hell yeah!! Just got mine somewhat finshed.. check it out sometime
Wicked awesome!
What size spacer did you use to put those wheels on?
How does it pass smog brother?
Like to have one as well with a 5 speed
A ranger wit a what now ?!!!! Sold 🤪
The music really gets to me 🤖
You definitely got 284hp out of it.
Frigging awesome
Few questions. What front springs? What front seats? What paint code?
How long did it take to complete your build?
Oh man, what a build!! what are the bucket seats that you used????
What Trans did you use?
What drive shaft u used
Nice bro mind next
What year is this truck?
What kinda motor was that?! Now I wanna swap my shit😂
it's a blueprint crate engine sbf 5.0
@@aydawg18 i have a 2000 ford ranger with tons of love put into it inside and out. However the trans is going out and I want to try my hand at my first swap. In your recommendation what would be the absolute most cost efficient swap out there for some power. LS? V8? No idea what way to go
@@bmx4lif3er a 5.0 out out any Ford truck should work growing up we use the motor out of a Lincoln for my mom's stranger
Then one night I got high cut the exhaust off and ran straight 3 inch stainless steel out behind the bed and stacked it it was loud 🔊🔊 then my stepdad and I cut the springs in the back and front I was going to do a 4 12 inches blow Tru but it got stolen strip out o well my mom got paid well
Was ir hard to swap?
How do people afford this stuff, man I wish I could do cool shit like that but I doubt I will, coming from a broke family and not a bright enough bulb to make a 6 figure income.
lol I wish I came from money and made six figures lol the first time I did the swap I had 2k in the whole truck. helps buying used parts and being able to do all the work your self. after the 306 I had about 6500 in the whole thing. selling the old parts really helps speed it up. gotta want it to make it happen
@@aydawg18 I was thinking about turboing a 4.3 blazer I have, I just can't afford a dyno tune
masterpiece
What lowering kit is that ?
Cut coils and axle flip in the rear
@@aydawg18 oh wow ok cool. Yeah I got the 3/4 I-beam drop a few weeks ago, but the truck needs to be dropped one more inch in the front and I have no idea how to do that. They don’t make 1” drop springs for the ranger. They have 2” drop springs, but that might be too much.
@ZYXWVUQ992Q pull the coils out and cut exactly 1 right off. Straight down from where it ends right now. Go 1/2 of one at first maybe and see how it sits.
@@aydawg18 yeah I’m gonna try that. I’ll let you know. Thanks !!
