Mid engine DOHC Ranger!

[Joe Walsh]

I was tired off flogging my 3.sl0w V6 Ranger.....so I installed a 5.0 DOHC!

Mid engine of course for proper weight distribution.
Just gotta get good engine mounts that are not made of wood....and those red straps are only rated for @ 300 HP.



Going to mount the KOOKS Headers 'upside down' like a drag boat!!

Should stay pretty well planted with the engine directly over the rear wheels!

Once I get a PTO/chain drive mounted directly to the driveshaft it will move like a scalded cat!

I got tired of all the '13.1' and '26.2' fitness geek stickers on every Toyota and Honda on the road.

Saw this sticker at a Beer Festival and knew that I had to put it on my truck!

Plus it gives me 20 HP!......

Uh oh.....Lloyd's got loose lips!....LOL

[Joe Walsh]

Lloyd gave me the bad news....
When he disassembled the engine and went to pull the pistons out....the sleeves fell out of the block!.....
Block is split between the cylinders 1 & 2.....
$7,500 worth of junk aluminum!
Already sold the Cobra forged crank for $500.
May have a buyer for the Manley rods.
Looking to sell the main girdle.
3.700 Overbore pistons are most likely expensive momentos of wasted money on a N/A 5.0 Mod motor.
Luckily, I kept my OEM shortblock and hauled it out of the basement last night then dropped it off at Lloyd's machine shop this morning.
Will have the fancy heads & cams, plus the billet oil pump put back on the OEM shortblock to get a good running 4.6L motor....then I'll put the Marauder up "For Sale".

Looking forward to the delivery of my new 2017 Ford Fusion Sport - 325HP/380Ft-Lb (Black of course!) and putting a 5.0 Coyote* crate motor in the '85 Mustang GT!

* At least FORD got their $h*t together on the Coyote Mod motors!

Forget that Coyote stuff, too complicated. Get this one, it will drop right in. Rear sump also avail. Pump gas and a warranty. Bing bang boom done!

Actually, I looked at that engine and a 427W stroker that makes 600+ HP... but both are $10,000+ .....
I can get a 450 HP Coyote, a Tremec Magnum 6 speed, a blow shield, and a Coyote swap parts kit for under $10,000.
The Coyote will idle smooth as silk, rev to 7,000 RPM and knock down 20+ mpg.
Plus, I already have a thumping pushrod FE motor!...
