I sold my Ranger!

I sold my '97 5.0 Ranger. I sorta miss it, but kinda don't at the same time. I'm thinking my next trick may be to swap a Vortec or LT1 into a late 90's S10. I know it's a common swap, but it would be a new learning experience for me.

So then you're leaving Ford completely? :(

Oh no, Ford is by far my favorite brand. Next spring I might buy my Dad's 5.0 Explorer. I have a D44 from a '75 F100 (welded on C's) and some disc brakes to swap on it just sitting in the garage. You can see where this is going...

8.1 and an Allison in a S-10 would be neat.

Yeah, that would be awesome!

I'm hoping to find something wrecked with a 7.4 and swap that into our '96 Suburban, then put the 5.7 from the Suburban into an S10.

Uncle Sam bought a bunch of the 8.1/Allison trucks from GM. Keep an eye on the Government Liquidators website. Trucks go for cheap on there.
