What trans is that? I have a couple v8 5spd rangers as well, its nice to see others building them. most the people going up to the v8 switch over to a c4 or c6. Nice to see someone who will actually get to use the power they just added.

It's a top loader 4speed. Did some research and they seem to be plenty strong. I have a C6 for it but I really would like the reliability of the manual while getting a lot more power to the ground. May have to change my gear ratio though.

The truck looked awesome. My buddy was reading it and said "holy shit look at this thing fly" and I was across the room and without even seeing it I was like " does it say to the moon on the door" hahaha

Will you be there both days and will you have your truck down there also?
Unfortunately the truck is too far taken apart. We will be there Friday-Sunday
