[Shovert]

Darn wish I could be there. Need a video when you do it. Maurice
Edit I bet when it starts I can hear you yell in Ky.

 

[rbruso]

I'll be there, possibly with a 9 year old in tow.

Oh, and a 24 year old that burns oil when pushed hard

 

[3d914]

Good point - will definitely plan on a u-tube video.

 

[3d914]

OK, here's the first. Pre-test for oil pressure. Got pressure in around 45 seconds.

Video.

You are dressed way to clean to be working on a car

To have pressure everywhere only using the starter might take awhile. Now lets see this running.

redhead, its a Kennedy Engineered Products adapter. They provide the adapter plate, heavy-duty clutch disk, and flywheel. They support many engine types. What ya thinking about doing?

 

[redheadedlefty]

well i have a long term project ranger project i have been working on..tossing around ideas and i have a sho motor sitting there...

this guys truck is kind of my inspiration

 

[3d914]

redhead, that looks like some wild inspiration!

Well you could definitely marry the SHO motor with a similar transaxle to get a mid-engined Ranger. Too Cool!

 

[jimtash]

That truck it too cool. Ford should've used this engine in something besides a Taurus. The Ranger and even the 1st gen Probe that already used the Vulcan V-6 come to mind.
