i swapped a 2.9l v6 into a stinking ford ranger. talk about problems man... i let the guy's dumbass kids crawl under it to bolt up the trans, and the dumbass torques down each bolt as he goes in a circle. had the fucker all bent outta shape, he crawls out, not a second later BAMMMMM!!! ------ peice of the block broke off. had to weld it back on... then i tighten the fuckers evenly, pretty much did everything else. the throw out bearing makes so much noise, squels, making shitty knocking noises. finally get the motor running, no oil pressure, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK ------ loud knocks... oil pressure gauge stopped working, took valve covers off, had oil pressure... knockin sound was the trans/flywheel/clutch/i dont know. it stopped after i revved it up a lil and drove it around the block a couple times... got er all together and timed runs like a champ. pretty dogish motor but it runs good :) thats the ford pos http://www.draglab.com/jbliss/truck1.jpg |
Re: giddy up giddy up giddy up
Damn, that's an old Ranger. Those newer Ford V6 motors are pretty stout with a manual tranny. They make a nice little supercharger kit for them too. >:D

Re: giddy up giddy up giddy up
err well if i can remember off the top of my head.
chevy orange block paint 550-ftlbs of torque SBC 400 bored .40 to 409cid Lunati crank Lunati lightweight race rods hyperutecnic pistons 11.7:1 world products cast race heads 225cc holly street dominator intake manifold big valves dont remember the specs exactly crane solid lifter cam 280/288 518/536 1.5 roller rockers holly 750cfm DP HEI dist headman long tube headers <-- too small hp bottleneck 2 1/4 exhaust <--- hp bottleneck 2 1/4 turbo mufflers muncie 21 4 speed 12 bolt rearend 3.73 gears poly mounts and bushings and sway bar its hard to make a guess on the power figures but if you twisted my arm id guesstimate 425-475hp 500-550 ft-lbs we're seriously thinking about spraying 150 on it, but without drag radials or slicks which we dont have, the power is so unusable that its pretty much pointless. i guess you could squeeze in 4th 3/4ths down the track. |
Re: giddy up giddy up giddy up
had some problems finding all the parts, they got scattered around in "the pile". when i was setting the timing i found out that there was no compression in the #1 cylinder, i thought maybe some tweeker stole the pistons out of the engine and sold them for crack. but i checked the valves and one of them wasnt closing lol. the rocker was way too tight. dunno how that happend.
it was funny cause my dad had his finger and on the plug hole and when it came up it blew his finger out and he jumped back. it was hilarious, lots of compression in the motor. it makes a big ol psssssh. sounds like a bov... anyways im going to video tape the startin tomarrow. lol hope it goes good for the tape :-p http://www.draglab.com/jbliss/camaro_27.jpg http://www.draglab.com/jbliss/camaro_28.jpg http://www.draglab.com/jbliss/camaro_29.jpg |
Re: giddy up giddy up giddy up *video*
well i finally got er running. couldnt find the dip stick, so i had to buy that, had to go get valve cover gaskets, then oil... so on and so fourth.
started first crank, 2nd time around... i did pretty good with the timing just eyein it i must say only ran it for like a minute, then i made my dad keep it running so i could get a little video... he is sick so he is being a little bitch about everything. no revvin or anything just idle... get some videos later after i hook everything up, the shifter linkage isnt in it and the clutch assembly isnt together either lol. and the valves still need to be adjusted. too much crap 8) http://www.draglab.com/jbliss/engine.wmv |

Re: giddy up giddy up giddy up *video*
shouldn't you adjust the valves before you start it and hold it around 2200 to break in the cam
