82zephyr Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 the ranger cam is a similar cam to the turbo coupe cams. same exhaust duration and a little more intake duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82zephyr Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 well the only update i have is that i finally was able to fix my trans leak. because the fittings coming out of the trans to the radiator would not come loose from the trans no matter what i did. so friday i went under the car to give it another crack at since since i was leaking almost 1 qt every 100 miles. and when i went to bust it loose it came out so easy i was so suprised. went up to my local oreillys and $5 later i got a new line and boom 20 min later it was done. then yesterday at we put on a ranger and as i was taking the scrap out it had a nice tip on it so i cut it off and modified it to fit on the zephyr then went to my first car show. i should be starting a new job next month so the new motor should come pretty fast. money is just to tight with the baby coming soon so i cant do much on it currently.

82zephyr Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 well actually i just found a great deal on a 5.0 and c4 for a GREAT price. it was in a 85 ranger on 31s until the guy twisted the frame and its been sitting for some years. but the guy started it for me all it needs is a refresh kit and a trans pan. im pricing out some eldabrock performer heads and performer intake idk what carb yet and cam. also got to decide on rockers and maybe a shift kit. so it looks like back to the 5.0 plans since i found that before the 2.3t- - - Updated - - -anyways im not super fond of all the expansive electronics required for a 300+whp turbo motor.

82zephyr Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 i would have to get a blow thru carb. but those are double the cost of a normal carb. im researching rebuild kits. where can i find a good one. im looking them up in summit right now and they have different bores. the motor is a stock 1983 302. all im doing to it this year is rebuild and a little dress up. then after some saving comes the heads intake and cam. wonder how long the rear end will take the five point hoes power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82zephyr Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 after a little searching i finally found one at a good price with free shipping. includes pistons and almost everything minus the crank rods heads and intake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 rebuild kit for a 302? or for a carb? summit should stock either. If you wanna rebuild the 302, I'd go forged everything and not have to worry about the bottom end anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82zephyr Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 im on summit setting up a wish list for everything ill need. and im just going all stock and a edlebrock performer intake and holly 600 carb. for my rebuild im a little over $1100.

82zephyr Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 now onto looking up stuff for the c4 trans. how much do shift kits cost? its been sitting for around 10 years. what should i do to it on the cheap since im dropping a lot in the motor. on a bad note i will have to cut the welds on the new crossmember since the motor and trans combo will be longer then the L4 and c3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82zephyr Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 motor will be here next week. as far and what i need to install it in the car im just going to get some mounts headers and a top end intake kit, but does anybody know how many splines are on the motor for a torque converter. its a 83 5.0 and c4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82zephyr Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 torque converters bolt upto the flywheel but the transmission side has female splines in the conterter and the trans has male splines. when i was looking it up i was getting different variations on number of splines. but i thought i was getting the motor tomorrow but im not. i have to wait till next week or the week after. but on another note i picked up a part to lighten up the nose a lot. i got a tubular k frame and manual rack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
