I like it, great deal at $800. A 351 came with it? I can't wait til I can get a project of my own. I've never had the space to take on anything too big. Luckily our new house is on 5 acres and I have a shop, game on!
Good luck with the project, can't wait to see how it turns out.

My buddy bought it for the Cleveland for his Mustangs, so let me have it cheap.
We have a late model 302 HO Police Special with an overdrive auto that will be going in it.

It got to 80 here!
Pulled the Ranger motor, now I can pull the trans with minimal interference.
2 hours to pull the motor, unfortunately I am getting pretty good at it.

Rebuild it........
I guess the hot new 2.8 was a little too much for the geriatric trans.
Near as I can figure, it's about equal or slightly better than a 4.0 OHV Ford.
The trans started sounding funny about a week after I buried the speedometer for about 3 mile stretch..........I think it was a little too much for the old gear box.
