[@davidlittle611]

This project has definitely convinced me that I’ll never buy a vehicle that has been engine swapped like this with all of the cobbling together of parts. It would be such a pain to replace the five years down the road.

[@Backupnow-gf7wb]

This city said you can’t work on your own car , in your own house doesn’t sound correct, some neighbors probably complained about the noise and lied to the city. See if a viewer is a lawyer that can write a letter threatening to sue for no cause and harassment. Just my 2 cents

[@TexasHondaChannel]

The city of copperas cove has zoning rules for painting and vehicles with no bumpers will be towed unless in the garage or behind a privacy fences. It’s air tight i already talked with some Texas lawyers. Their city Ordinances are very strict eventually I’m gonna move out of this town and end of the country if god is willing because outside city limits there’s no restrictions. I got a warning and you only get one warning per year and after that warning you get fined but see my rental agency would get fined not me which means I would probably be evicted and I have four children I can’t take that big of a risk

Great build!! Cue the Ford Ranger song.

[@scottawad6642]

Man it's tempting. I got a 98 ranger with four hundred thousand miles on it and I'm going to be doing an engine swap but trying to pick between this or EcoBoost mustang swap very comparable price.. there's actually a company called Mars that'll send you an EcoBoost crate motor and your choice of three different transmissions for about $7,000 turn key. That's like 300 and some change horsepower on stock stuff. All of which is very compatible to a ranger I think that would make it easier swap.

[@uchiha_d1334]

So I found that seller on eBay and purchased a whole bunch of stuff from them. Good seller. Great products.

[@dillb4752]

I have a 1985 with a Lima 4 banger. I was going to to go Chevy small block but I want to be different and I think a k series in a old square body ranger would be awesome

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

I do have to say that k-series sounds hellacious I got me a Honda Element at 2003 with a k24 in it taking my time building it up for the wife with an automatic transmission in it for now

[@TexasHondaChannel]

That can make more power then my k20a3 and honestly I wish I had that bottom end but definitely a good platform to work with. If I upgrade my k20 internals I can make 500hp+ safe but the stock bottom end k24 can handle close to that bone stock

[@TENNOtheMONSTER]

I hope I don’t get jumped by Chevy purists, but I want to k swap a 1975 Vega that my uncle gave me one day. This inspires me even further. Thank you.

I want a Kasda, got a 2300 ready to swap

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Time for some 18x10 RPF1's with 285/40(or 35) UHP summer tires on the rear. Or if that's too crazy, some 18x9's with 255/45 (or 40), and you could probably run that size all the way around. If you wanna be extra light, 17x9 or 10 with the aforementioned tires (only the taller sidewall, though, for either since that specs out to 26" diameter on a 17, while the taller profile will obviously be 27" on an 18, while the smaller one will be a 26" still.)

[@GlassWerx]

Iv watched it all loved the build. All the builds. Awesome work. Id like a swap in my car but already got more into the car then it's worth lol. Been lookn for a new video from ya. Had surgery today woke up n got new video. Love the pull clips.

Hello I just have a quick question. I have a 1996 Mazda B2300 and I was considering doing this but do you have any better recommendations on the turbo setup and motor swap? If so I would like to hear what you would consider going for unless this is the best option.

[@fast97z24]

I don't have a lot of friends either. Building cars is a lonely business sometimes lol

[@Punk-Jw]

Id like to know how the racing seats and steering wheel changed your seating position? I'm hoping to do the samething in hopes the steering wheel will be farther away from me and the racing seats sit me a bit lower and a little farther back than the original 2011 stock seat with the arm rest. What differences did you notice? I know I'm not going to gain much moving the seat back but even an inch if I have to move the slider back, and maybe a couple inches lower...Think I should have any problem?

[@streettunner]

Cool build bro! Forget the idiot haters that are mad they didn't think about doing this. I know it wasn't easy but you brought an idea to reality which in my book is a great accomplishment 👏. Stay strong, focused and keep the videos comming. We'll keep liking and sharing

Thank you and no worries on the haters. The devil tries hard to bring me down but i have jesus so no weapon formed against me shall prevail. :D

[@modifiedperformance6740]

How much power does the rx8 transmission hold ?

[@robertohiguera8832]

Freaking amazing build! You inspired me to do some sort of K-series swap into my Ranger. My Ranger has been my project for the last 4-5 years making into a prerunner. Obviously I spent all my money on the suspension, and several thousands on re-gearing to 4.88s on the stock ifs dana 35 and the ford 9" I swapped in to push my 35s. Currently still have the stock SOHC 4.0. Off the top of your head, would there be any variables/reasons why a k24 swap would be a bad idea for a prerunner? due to the much larger tires, aggressive gearing, 4wd, transmission compatibility issues, etc.

[@TexasHondaChannel]

The k24 block is ideal but the head water inlet might hit the fire wall that’s why I went with the k20

[@djburgess8791]

Any idea on the gas mileage?

[@45Mang]

Hmmm… so ur using the ford’s rear end with an SE trans?!

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

What would your evaluation of cost comparison be between building a 2.3 turbo single overhead cam s h o style build or possibly swapping in a newer dohc Ranger motor and turbo it being at those are both Ford engines and came in this platform

[@sethgibowski8695]

Boost a 2.3L dohc duratec. stock theyll handle around 275-300hp pretty reliably. Just use a trans and everything from a 2002-2011 2.3 ranger.

[@stevegrim9662]

For the power steering, have you ever considered an electric rack for Mustangs from 2011 and up?

[@chrishernandez2490]

I imagine that would be very expensive and too complex. You would need a beefy electrical system to adequately power the electric motor as well as some sort of computer module to manage the steering input and output.

I'd literally have to consider MOVING. I live in the county myself. Dixie Dream Rods was across the street from me until family illness and loss recently caused them to shut down and sell. Was a wonderful sight to see...AND HEAR some of the beautifully restored vehicles coming and going from their shop. Another neighbor has a small in-house body shop where he does MOST EXCELLENT and highly recommended work; and, he owns a 1970 AMX 401 car that IS NOT STOCK. Every time he cranks it up and moves it around it really brings back memories. Sweeeeeet. Some folks are terribly jealous because they gotta pay $450/$500 per month plus full coverage insurance or pay someone a ridiculous amount of cash to build what they want BECAUSE THEY either haven't the mechanical skills to do it themselves...or they're just too lazy. Then you got all these Karen's & Ken's today who think everyone else's business is their only business. Too much time in their f'n hands. Get a life folks.
