I need some ideas and opinions guys! thinking about selling off my turboford stuff and buying/building a 5.0 ranger or explorer. im thinking i can build a 5.0 to be quicker for cheaper, plus it will let me get rid of my other (slow) ranger. am i crazy? should i keep putting my time and money into this force-fed beast? or should i sell it all off, ive got 2 TC's and ton of parts...
i know there's a ton of threads out there asking "what should i do next?" but here's another one. my nice TC is an 87, its in decent shape and has a good solid engine. running stock ihi, stock browntops, stock top mount, 3" downpipe to stock dual 2" mufflers/tailpipes. ive got a good t3 to put on already, but then what? front mount? exhaust? header? i could drop a grand into this car pretty easily, and where is that gonna get me, 300hp?
oh and ive got nothing against this car, just trying to talk things out, trying to get some opinions. i kinda think i could sell both tbirds, all my parts, and my ranger, build a 5.0 ranger and have the best of both worlds with less to insure and keep plates on AND come out ahead as far as the money goes as well...
