So I've been able to get started on rebuilding the 5.0 that'll be going into my Ranger. This is going to be a heck of a slow moving project, so updates are going to be few and far between.
Recently I was able to tear down the 302, and now I've got a bare block. A bare block with a problem. Rust. It looks like its mostly surface rust on the cylinder walls, so I'm gonna have it bored out probably .030 over, and hope like hell that it takes care of it. Looking to order the rebuild kit from Northern Auto Parts soon, then I'll get to work on collecting all the other parts I'm after.
Anyway, I know everyone likes pics...so I got a few!
and just for chits and giggles, heres a pic of the Ranger it'll be going in when all is said and done (I'll have the body fixed by then, too )
Yeah, everyone knows decals add 20hp a piece
