I bought a 84 Ranger with a 302 for $740 not running thinking it will be an easy ignition fix. I replaced the points and got it to run but after it warmed up it starts to lose oil pressure and knocks. Here's some before pictures of the mess.
it was a wiring nightmare
I had to rebuilt the whole motor which had new parts inside the motor but had it was not balanced and ruin every bearing you can think of and ruin the crankshaft. It is a Mexican block so I am glad. Had the heads shaved, bought forged pistons, roller rockers, .496 cam, double roller chain, heddman headers, Trans Depot motor mounts kit. I'm so upset that that the kit is not a direct bolt-on kit because mine is a pre-92 model and the headers won't let me used my stock starter. But I will keep y'all posted on my build Thanks Jim the freak
