Oh I didn't know it's getting IRS yet that's cool

@@yeahitskimmel it's a bad ass truck when it's done.

yeahitskimmel sorry for the spoiler. I won’t ruin anymore of it but it’s incredible when it’s done.

K-Seal. I've been a service tech for 20+yrs and until I tried K-Seal I thought all headgasket in a can products were snakeoil or dangerous. It won't perform miracles but it's a cheap first shot. Lately roadkill had found it's amazing ability and had a couple total fixes on junkyard cars with it. Normally they blur the products but actually took the time out to mention the product too

Also wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I vote for replacing the headgasket vs a full motor/trans swap, especially if you're hurt and it'd be great to have the honor of taking it to 300k

@@yeahitskimmel I have used something similar for head gasket repair. It helped but not 100%. I am limping by for now. The issue with replacing the head gasket is everything that has to be pulled apart. It's overhead cam so that makes it a major job to deal with. I have done a lot of work on it, recently rebuilt the front end with all new bushings and ball joints, tore one side apart one day, had a shop replace the bushings as I could get them out but not back in and my shoulder was dead. Waited a few days then put them back in. Then a few weeks later did the other side the same way. The service manual talks about pulling the master cylinder among other things as well to do the head gaskets. There is some top end noise as the lash adjuster are old and probably should do timing chain and gears if I am that far into it. Which adds a ton more work which all takes time. By the time I do that it may as well be a rebuild so then I am at the point of why rebuild when I can swap and net a few gains. Either way I have to save before I can do anything at all. A long block is around 2500 to 3000 and a rebuild kit before any machine work is around 700. Engine and trans at LKQ is about 600 and I end up with a trans with a lot less mileage on it as well. Going to a newer engine I get a better head that doesn't have the same issue with the lash adjusters getting weak as they get older too. And thank you, I miss her very much and she always helped me deal with the stress of things like this. I lost my wife and best friend in the same day. When I found her I tried to bring her back and at one point broke her breastbone and tore my shoulder up even more.

Oh yeah production cost...yadablah

Lol I wish they put ac in it. Just to make it the less suspicious

Steerings fine.. no issues or complaints.. now the suspension.. whole nuther story.. especially the tortion bar style.. talk about a bouncy ass hard hitting ride.. will stir your coffee on its own and put it everywhere besides in the cup or in your mouth..

Lmao sloppy crap

hell it be easier to find a Ford explorer with a 5.0

@@purextacy3174 Right, plus be an almost plug and play swap being the Explorer is based on the Ranger platform.

@@purextacy3174 your missing the point. This is to show people that a 5.0/ls isn't the only swap you can do. And to the op, you would be better off just snagging a sohc 4.6 or 5.4 and ordering the dohc heads

Dilan Pearson just shove a crown Vic motor in there, they’re a dime a dozen and pretty bulletproof as it is

@@melted_pistons depending on the generation the crown vic has the 4.6 3valve if memory serves

FreeRepublicUSA I’ve been wanting to ask the vegas locals how the situation looks over there at the moment.. it’s pretty bad over here in Los Angeles not because of the virus but because idiots pushing buttons with the authorities 🙄.. hoping everything dies down n goes back to normal soon.. I’m missing the strip

Mike CorLeoné I’m in construction and we have been working nonstop as we are deemed essential. I also own a very small potato chip distribution company that is still operational. The strip is straight dead and empty. Everyone is scared of this virus. I actually came down with some of the symptoms about 4 days ago so I’m just staying home to keep everyone safe as best as I can and taking time to recover, LORD willing.

FreeRepublicUSA I’m oretty sure i already had it. I had a 2 week flu that started end of February.. it was horrible, I’m still coughing from it so i just stay inside

Not every state has high temps and not everyone is bothered by them. For most of my life I didn’t own a vehicle with A/C or a functioning A/C. Didn’t care. Still don’t. 2 out the 3 vehicles I own have functioning A/C and I can count on 1 hand the number of times I’ve used it in both vehicles. And while I don’t live in the desert, it regularly hits 90+ in the summer with lots of humidity.

I notice that a lot, its REALLY annoying.

I'm thinking the same thing but with a mildly built 302. Those modular engines are too wide.

5.0 swap from an exploder would be a much better swap

It’s physically massive , DOHC engines are just wide

Was about to say you obviously have never seen the size of a modular dohc v8 next to a ls or 5.0. the dohc 5.4 is nearly a foot wider than a ls

And it’s dirt easy to make 300 hp out of it too 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, it's amazing that man built civilization and machinery before youtube.

302

An LS. Wow, how novel.

These guys have an unlimited budget as opposed to ANYONE i know regardless of whether they ACTUALLY finish a project..this show pisses me off alot. Lol still addictive though.

Hahahaha "needs". Nice!

Hemi isn't too bad a swap for a 4.7, a friend did his 04 Dakota. Motor mounts were the biggest obstacle.

5.9 swap

V6 4.0 being bored out to a 4.2 are to the max bore depending on block you're not going to get the horsepower. You'll spend more money than you want to do all that

@@purextacy3174 power to weight ratio it's a compact size truck and not a midsize truck. It tow more than 5,000 lbs. Anyway limit by frame rear end springs etc..

@Big Wheel I don't think that it will fit.

Chris Hansen more horsepower and torque.

Can you give more details?

It could have AC with some extra work for the pansies out there who rolling down a window isn't good enough for their delicate sensabilites. And who would build something like this if it wasn't mostly a toy? You want a comfortable daily driver that dosn't break go buy a Toyota Corolla or something and videos like these just arn't for you.

@@177SCmaro Another angry kid on the internet...

@@brussell639 What are you on about?

@@177SCmaro why not a dependable grand marquis/ crown vic or lincoln town car for a good daily driver...why lower your standards and lower your self into a toyota ???...yuk on all toyotas

@@merc-ni7hy Whatever turns your crank.

Thomas Devlin why yes it is. I was more excited to see that lol

Super dually. 79 ford body on dodge cummins chassis

Agreed. Deleting a/c isn't solving a problem, it's creating a big one.

The A/C problem gets even bigger when all the airflow has to go through the heater core, it's going to be a hotbox.

If the a/c on my truck no work I no drive it!

The Ranger and Mazda are almost the same! Built on the same assembly line at the same time. Only real difference is some sheet metal .

So...not really a ranger then. Unlike the 80s and 90s rangers

@Lassi Kinnunen yeah, back in the late 90s me and a buddy pulled out the 2.3 in the ranger we had and dropped in a 302 with a c4 automatic. It was a beast

@@dave1135 Built by Ford on Ford assembly line, using the same parts! I can't remember what year they were combined, I believe it was early 2000's. I worked for Ford at the time and built these truck's. They are Ranger's with slight difference's! Look at it however you want!

That head on the 2.4 had two plugs per cylinder, I owned a 98 ranger with that,& the 5 speed. that's a nighmare those plugs. Now I have a 99 Mazda b3000 with a 3.0 v6, basically rebaged ranger. The motor is Ford, ac, fuel injected, automatic. Not a bad small truck.I will drive it until, well got it @ 154k, now has 204k. Had the trans done. I heard they go 300k. Two mechanics said that is a sound motor. We will see.?

about to say the same thing...

that is an incredible headache XD

I was thinking same thing

Mike C Are you sure? I thought all of their small blocks that replaced the Y blocks with the exception of the Cleveland and M were considered Windsor?

Mike C I have a 93 f150 and from what I’ve heard from mechanics it’s a 5.0 Windsor (made in windsor, Ontario)

Mike C Wow! Great! Thank you for that knowledge!

Mike C thanks for the knowledge-however Ford only called the 351 the Windsor directly to distinguish between the 351C. (My dad had a clevor in a Bronco). They are all sbf replacing the Y engines. So at the end of the day its kinda simantics😆

Boring. Been done so much. Almost as bad as fagle LS swaps

b tenn4 that’s what she said

Lol

It disappears in a future episode.

Yes it will. Lmao

It's a toy not a daily driver. So probably not a huge issue.

They throw a supercharger on and IIRC, it ends up making around 600 wheel

i wanna meet the voiceover guy so he can do my phone greeting.

But this particular 4.6 liter is MASSIVE lol

@@yeahitskimmel massive in physical size..not in cubes

@@chevydodgedude1234 pretty much. I wish they would do a actual like budget build kind of things like theyve done in the past but instead of getting parts from a bunch of companies they should go to junkyards and get parts for cars they are building and stuff like that. Like some people do.

@@yeetisthefetus7214 I mean this currently is there quote on quote budget build but this was a t.v show from like the mid 2000s a budget for them is 20k and a non budget is about 50k witch is dumb

Mazda B-[whatever] built by Ford

@@abpsd73 Yes it is the BT50 which was built along the same line as the Ranger but what narked me was their "click bait "headline V8 into a Ranger , used car dealer antic.

200ish on a good day

The OHV Cologne 4.0 V6 in this generation had 160hp from 1998-2000, and was replaced by a SOHC Cologne 4.0 with 207hp for 2001-12.

no, 210. The 2011 Mustang used a new 3.7L DOHC that made 300+

@@CamaroAmx Each to their own I guess. I just like to make $$ off of the hot rods I build. You can make almost anything fast but you can't give every car class.
