6.0 In Ranger?
Has anyone stuffed a 6.0 in a ranger yet? I've always looked for a 7.3 in a bronco also and i've seen it once but that's it. like a mid 90's two wheel drive ranger would be sick as hell wit a worked up 6.0 kinda like banks' sidewinder truck. 
sorry this was supposed to be in the 6.0 forum my fault

Hypermax put one in a ranger and set a new speed record at Bonneville in August I think.

There's a guy who put a 6.0 and 5R110W into a 70's F-150, then took it to Bonneville. His goal was 150 MPH. The program Truck U on Speed has been showing spots of the install and the Bonneville runs.
Here's the Ranger WeWeld mentioned.

Oh no, there are a lot of class rules. Diesel racing at Bonneville is huge. Rangers to big rigs, it's all there.
Here is the 2006 coverage from DIesel power magazine. Check out the Super Duty!

Pretty cool thanks man they should put oil squirter nozzles at the top of the cylinder let run almost full speed and spray oil in and let it run away that's atleast good for another two grand. It's awesome i've seen it and heard it quite a few times

man thats awesome! (ranger with the 6.0)
but to just drop a 6.0 in your ranger is a different story...
thats a lot of power for all those "compact truck" parts on the ranger
IMO heavy modifications of everything down to the frame would be needed...

IMO: The frame will be OK. You'll just need to box it.
You'll need to put some serious springs on the front suspension and replace the rear axle assembly with something that can handle a little more torque, plus fabricate a heavier transmission crossmember, but overall the frame will be OK.
