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 👏
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 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
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
I want to do something like this.. don't really have the space and equipment to start.. don't have the knowledge and experience either but I work at those as best I can. So awesome.
I'm in the same boat but I've done a swap before, but now I don't have a shop. I don't mind working outside but I'm on a hill and gravel driveway, not the best spot
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?
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.
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
@@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.
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
@@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.
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 👌🏅
@@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.
@@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
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
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.

Sweet little truck. I have one that looks just like it.
Finally someone showing what their shit can do! Nice video.
Amazing job. Also your a saint for showing dyno results lol
Really?
Nice ranger, excited to put mine together when it warms up.
Are you anywhere near the south brother?
What all did you have to do to get it wired up where it will start and get power back to the accessories
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

That's a bad cat I'm wanting to do this so bad. Nice truck buddy
Clean truck dude get yourself and nice bed cover that would do the trick 👍👍
Original front bumper?
Thats the best ranger ive ever sen it was👍 osem
Where’d the seats came from, and do they bolt right in?
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.
Amazing truck, I have the same year same color but it’s the v6
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
What are the seats out of?
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
absolutly sensational

How does it pass smog brother?
Few questions. What front springs? What front seats? What paint code?
hello im in the process of dropping a blueprint on my ranger. which engine did you go with?
I did the 390hp 306
Man can't wait to put a 302 n my danger ranger thanks
What size tires and rims do you have on that super truck
What size spacer did you use to put those wheels on?
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....??
Man that's sweet! Can you imagine that with boost?
What radiator did you use for your build ???
Looks like a blast
What Trans did you use?
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
What drive shaft u used
That’s really sick, I would throw some big mustang brakes on it or something. Those wheels would show the brakes off nice
Frigging awesome
Esta hermosa una verdadera máquina
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.
What year is this truck?
Nice truck man how did you get those gauges in your dash

@@aydawg18 that would be great if you could find them thanks
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?

Wow I love ford rangers
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!
