This section is a little slow so I will post up my new toy. Picked up a 97 ford ranger with a V8 it's a fun little truck. Hopefully be ready for desert season. Has 6 over beams swing set steering bump stops. A mustang 5.0 302. It's getting a set of stainless headers built this week so I am excited to hear it after that. Oh and a big bonus it will tow a boat at 80 down the freeway and want to go faster.

Smog legal? You have 4 cats under that thing? lol

Doesn't the engine have to be the same year or newer than the year of the truck as well as retaining all of it's factory smog? If you just built headers for it how can they be CARB approved?

Regardless, it's bad ass!

I'm not sure how it works I have never had to smog a vehicle in my life. But it was smoged has the plate on the engine cage for the intake. It was a Cali street truck when I got it.
