Class 2000 ranger

[FlyByRacing]

I decided at the beginning of this year I wanted to build a "cheap" fun truck to go try my hand at racing. Found a 400$ running driving truck that was a theft recovery. It's been sitting in my back yard for 7 months and now that I've collected 90% of the parts it's time to start building it. Main goal is to build the truck to finish races not necessary win just yet. Its a 94 with a 2.3 that will get swapped to something a bit bigger once it blows up. Got bored and swapped the deavers in to make more room in the garage. Waiting to finish a project at a friend's shop so I can park this in it's place and start going to town.

What's the plan for the motor swap once the 2.3 let's go. It sounds like the explorer 5.0 is the easiest to do for a V8 but a LS might be easier to make more power with.

That I'm not 100% sure on yet. Might just be a warmed over 4.0 or a very mild 5.0. Not looking to make big power. Trying to keep it as reliable as possible and more power =broken parts

Get it done and come race us! Same theory, as cheap as possible

I'm bummed I couldn't make it out to watch this race. Definitely shooting to run it next year

Finally got it to pass smog so it can be registered cause street legal race truck. Threw the one piece on for fun. Hopefully the last few parts show up soon so I can actually start getting after it. Trying to have it together enough for the December MORE race to take it out and spectat

Got the cage started and layout of what I want to do drawn out. Hopefully next weekend I can knock out a good amount more.
