speaking from a dieselheads standpoint, bbbaaadd move . dude you'll kick yourself. that old ford may have given you some problems but it still had a lot of life left in it. I have a friend here in Concord that had a pre-powerstroke 7.3 that dynoed out at about 600ftlbs after only 1200.00$. thats really not bad considering that was at the back wheels not the flywheel. but anyway I guess a man has to do what a man has to do one of these days you'll come around don't get me wrong the rangers cool . post some pics so the NCFTE boys can help you find some creative ways to aaaaaaaa spend your cash
maybe a 5.0 litre crate motor, a 6" lift and great big oh tires
