I knew about the Exploders, but this is just a weird one. Like a Rampage California Shelby, but actually pretty cool

and then blam, smacks you with a 2.9. It was expecting 4.6

This screams "Jay Lenos Garage" for me.

In 1988?

You mean Doug DeMuro's driveway....
![]() 12/17/2013 at 13:13 |

Maybe he meant 4.9L, since the 302 is not really a 5.0L.

Ford reserved the 4.9 moniker for the 300 cubic inch straight six....
As far as the 5.0 in a Ranger.....It's been done... Not sure if my pics got Nibbled, so if you can see them, great.
I saw this at the Carlisle Ford show in 2009.

Good job. Now we need a Saleen Raptor.

Wow a whopping 140hp... This thing needs a turbo upgrade or engine replacement to match its looks...
![]() 12/17/2013 at 13:46 |
|
nah, it's too rare and nice to modify.
![]() 12/17/2013 at 13:47 |
|
Oh yeah, I know it's been done. Just making fun of Ford for rounding UP when they should be rounding DOWN.

Yeah, I'm saying they got it wrong in the first place, haha.

I like this a LOT....more than I should.

OMG WTF IS THAT?!?!?!
hahaha this is one of the reasons i love oppo.

Anyone have any idea what this thing might go for? I'm not opposed. It's just SO absurd. Although I prefer the Saleen Explorer...

Are those Ronal wheels?
![]() 12/17/2013 at 16:56 |

I have never seen one on sale so you might just send him an email asking for the reserve price. And I thought you wanted a manual?

Konig

|
Nah, I'd give it a turbo.
![]() 12/17/2013 at 17:27 |
|
Yeah but I'm always looking for a potential Cube replacement too. This is so cool by the way. I can't believe you found it. I've never seen such detailed shots of one.

I tend to make weird searches on ebay motors. But, no Saleen Explorers to be found.

There's a douche that shows up to a car show near my house who actually crammed a 351W in one of these Rangers.
(he's a douche because of his actions, not his truck/engine combo fyi)

It may not be a Saleen, but here's an 800 hp twin turbo Hennessey VelociRaptor:

800hp?! Holy shit!

They have a 600 option too for the sissies LOL.
