What kind of shackles and leaf springs are you running on that ranger? And what kind/size of shock?

Getting close to dropping a 78-79 ford d44 n 9" under my 86 b2, and looking for ideas

I like the ride height I bet it performs real nice.

The rear is skyjacker 6inch leafs and a beltech shackle. I am running 12" bilsteins at all corners. I made my own upper rear shock mounts, and I could definitely remake them and utilize a longer shock, but overall the performance is really good.

Well I scored a real 351w gt40 intake today on Craigslist. It's already been ported a bit and it was cheap! Definitely got lucky for once.

I have a 3 day weekend this weekend so I am planning on working on the engine again. I lost a lot of motivation the past few weeks so a break has been good.

Nice man! How far back did you put it? What did you use for motor mounts and headers?

Time for an update finally. Recently I got a new dog, and I just moved into a new house, so I have a garage again finally. Tomorrow I am going to building a workbench and putting the compressor in the corner. But I am planning to tear the 4.0, tranny, and doubler out next weekend.

Should be fun when you get the V8 in there. If you bought your new garage paint the walls white. It will make it seem so much brighter in there.
