Almost finished, 91 Ranger 4x4 Turbo

[ok2003us]

Started reading this forum a few months ago and got info to put 87 T-Bird turbo engine with T-3 into my 91 4x4. Still have paint & body to do but it's on the road after months of reading and skinned knuckles gotten in my spare time. T-Bird oil pan touches cross member, hopefully aluminum Ranger pan will fit.
Using front mount IC from Volvo, E6 manifold, Diamond forged pistons, Ranger roller cam.

change was about a 7 on a 1-10 scale. Used original Ranger wiring with T-Bird ECU & large VAM so it was time consuming. Had to change battery to left side to allow for K&N filter close to T-3 compressor. Also shimmed engine mounts about 1/2 in. to clear oil pan but will use Ranger pan like I should have to begin with.

It has power seats & console from a Pontiac Gran Prix. Didn't much like the 60/40 seats it had.
