Well since theres nothin goin on with the boat right now might aswell post up the other project.

88 ranger road race/ auto-x truck. Trucks lowered approx 4" on eibach front springs and drop i beams. Has aftermarket front and rear sway bars, fronts like 2" thick lol. Has a ( for now) mild built 2.9l v6. Swapper from efi to carb with a holly race 2 barrel. Has mild cam, headers into a single 3". The list before summer race season is
- 10 point cage
- lighten it up some more
- swap the welded 7.5" diff for an 8.8 explorer lsd with 4:56 gears and disk brakes.
- electric fan
- fuel cell
- 4 new slicks
Id like to pull the motor at some point to and swap the rods and valve springs for a more rpm friendly setup. Right now ive got it set at 5700. Would like to get it turning 7-7500.
Few pics from fall

Not sure yet, going to scale it on my buddys surface place this spring and see what it weighs and see what the weight at all 4 corners is, then balance it out from there
