New guy saying hello

Post by carvinmark »

Glad to be here. I've read alot here and I think I'll fit in pretty good. Sold my first V8 Ranger and just got my second V8 Ranger (306, T5, 9") it's a 1988 short box, motor is hurt, ate a valve, so I will be figuring out what to put in it. I have 306 I ran in a few drag cars that might make it's way into the truck but I may end uo going with a later roller motor :roll: just not sure yet. I'll try to post up pics of several of my cars and trucks over the years that I've put together and some of this new to me project I just got. I'm excited to have another Ranger to play with.

This pic thing is kind of easy :shock: Here's one of my 306 powered 160" FED. Wish I still had it, but I do have the engine still.

The sandrail runs so strong, not sure what was done to the engine but it is sweet and lots of fun!
