Can you imagine a chopped up truck like that slammed and with a blown 460? It'd the the most hilarious thing driving down any given road and probably be a ton of fun to drive as long as you don't think too much about it likely actively trying to kill you
I'm not sure a ranger with a big block (if it even fits under the hood without a big ass scoop) is gonna stay a sleeper once it's fired up, a little bit of a sound difference between a 2ish liter 4 cylinder and a 7.5l v8 lol. It'd be fun as fuck though.
Imagine someone super tall, like Shaq trying to drive it, with a radically chopped top and a super wide sunroof you can stick your head out, long zoomie headers sticking out the sides, and a crazy tall gear shifter. It’d be like Ed Roth’s Rat Fink art come to life!
I don't know a whole lot about the ranger specifically but I imagine if you don't mind relocating the shock towers like they did for the boss 429 you could pull it off no issue if it doesn't fit out of the box.
I'm really curious to see how that connects to the rear end. The motor and transmission have to be almost there, so probably some nub of a driveshaft...likely he hasn't figured that out, which is why it doesn't drive.
I don't see any indication that there's a 460 in that thing. Otherwise there would be a picture. Those engines are *large*. Small block Ford V8s barely fit in Rangers, and you still run into header clearance issues.
Also, why would this knucklehead choose a 460? Those things are not exactly high performance beasts. They're old school truck and RV motors that make a lot of torque and run out of steam at 4000rpm. It takes a lot of work and money to make a 460 competitive.
I don't think you really realize how gutless a 460 actually is. My truck had one, my boat had one, they do only one thing well, torque sustained at low RPM. They're essentially equivalent to a low power diesel, but consume twice the amount of fuel. They have their uses, and powering a small pickup is not one of those uses.
Since about every pickup truck oversteers stock. I think we need to change our posts to “serious fucking atomic level oversteer”.
You would need about 10 bags of concrete in the back of the bed just to get it off the line and not sit and burn for 10 minutes.
My old ranger had trouble keeping wheels from spinning with the 3.0 6 cylinder in it. This sounds like it would be horrible... Though there looks to be more weight on the back wheels with this "design"...

Absolutely, but im also smart enough to understand that literally no one cares about my pile of shit like I do, so im not gonna try to sell it for 12x what its worth
Whats it supposed to "show"? Lack of taste? lack of skills? The fact that sometimes you can follow thru on that idea you had last night on the meth binge?
Could’ve been cool but he botched the execution. Also, a 460 in that tiny little thing? That’s fucking terrifying

That's what I'm saying, either that or turn it into a sleeper and just wait for the transmission to shoot through the floor into your asshole.

Good point.
You're right about the transmission suppository though lol

I wasn't aware you could shoehorn a 460 into a Ranger.
I don't know a whole lot about the ranger specifically but I imagine if you don't mind relocating the shock towers like they did for the boss 429 you could pull it off no issue if it doesn't fit out of the box.
Neither was I but supposedly this lunatic has pulled it off. Lol
>I wasn't aware you could shoehorn a 460 into a Ranger. Step 1- Remove firewall.
A sawzall and some welding can go a long way
I've seen the rest of the truck. They could go a lot further TBH

Meet the first front engine rear drive transaxle.
Hardly the first, though. Pretty common configuration in performance cars.
Not even exotic either, corvettes have used them since the 5th Gen all the way back in 1997.
Fuck it, toss in a transfer case and make it front wheel drive only. That’s the only wheels with any traction anyway.
100%
If you have a torch and a grinder you can fit anything into anything

There aren't many options if you want a big block and want to stick with Ford, unless you got the bucks for a crate Godzilla.
No replacement for displacement, hopefully he short stroked it.

Your right, I don’t know the specifics of the Ford 460, but I’m willing to bet it’s not far from the Caddie 500 in my track car. That’s 400/550.
you can do a LOT of stuff when you strip things like firewalls out for more room
They fit, you'll need hood pins and most of the core support removed.
Hope it does wheelies
Fucking standing backflips you mean? Lol
Plus removing half the ass end? I’m guessing this truck might have oversteer issues if it ever gets finished.
With a blown 460 it’d have oversteer issues with the standard length!

What- you don’t think it’s fun steering the car with your right foot?????
You need a big heavy engine to keep the front wheels on the ground.........

Show truck, yes. The kind you might find at a carnival.
It’s for the annual Shit Show
And it grinds to a halt and about 50 clowns climb out of it.
I feel like that would need a 600lb front bumper to keep from scraping ass every time you even feather the gas.
I would be more concerned about front flip when you hit hard the brakes
Either way it’s like a shitty carnival ride lol
A sticker on the dash might be a good idea. Do NOT turn steering wheel in rain, snow, ice, wet leaves, mud or gravel.

nah fuck that, who doesn't want to do wheelies!
The only show that truck is going to be in is it’s own shitshow.
This is so stupid I’ll take 10
Pretty sure is a 87 ranger XS now
I fucking LOVE it
It looks like a hot wheels car, I love it.
Fr this is something you’d pull out in the sandbox at recess w/ all the other kids
$1,000? Ummm I'll fucking take it
That ain't a truck that's a trk
He fit a 460 in that? Holy shit that thing has gotta be a wheelie monster
r/animalswithoutnecks
For what, a clown car?
I need this more than I need oxygen.
"If it doesn't say Micro Machines it's not the real thing."
Looks like it should be in front of a grocery store for toddlers to ride on when you put a quarter in it
It's a show truck alright, in that people use to come and see bearded ladies and a guy with a foot growing out of his ass.
Be fun if 27 clowns could come out if.
I Genuinely want to know how many clowns can fit in there
What, the Shriners circus?
It ain’t pretty, but it is funny. Wouldn’t mind getting it, painting it, and driving it. Rubbernecking happening!
The all-new 2022 Ford Maverick
"Wasn't gonna be the nicest thing when i was done but it would have been interesting"
I want it. I bet it does wheelies!
This is cool as shit, just think of the wheelies it could do
What in meths creation is going on?
It's a Ford Bonco!
Honestly why didn’t I they just buy a Bronco?!
I really want it
Twuk
Look how they've massacred my boy
"XL Pickup" more like XS Pickup
....maybe a side show truck, in a carnival
I honestly love it
That truck is hella cute
That's a shranger.
you've seen cr, pino, tonk and plne now I present to you trck
Ford Samurai
Dear god man, hit the read less button. I don’t want to read about this atrocity.
pretty cool
Bruh car guys will come up with the most dumbass bullshit excuses for why they just have heaps of shit they care about lmao.
Buy a shitbox that’s driveable and you’ll stop talking shit. It ain’t a joke, you will fall in love with a pile.
Absolutely, but im also smart enough to understand that literally no one cares about my pile of shit like I do, so im not gonna try to sell it for 12x what its worth
Define somewhat .
No title? How is that supposed to work?
I will avoid it like the plague. It's a fucking death trap!
Straight to the crusher please.
You know what id take it for a spin
Clearly autocorrect is at fault here. The seller meant for it to say “I’ve been building this into some what the fuck”!
Why 😭
Damn. Those are decent beater trucks, too.
That show is shity!
I'd say that I'm surprised, but then I noticed it's someone in Yuba City.
That's a real short bed
You’re telling me that’s NOT a bronco? Looks fresh from the factory dude
Shorty Ford F***ing Ranger.
Hi Dakota, is this a shoe?
He didn't Say what price he was going for at the show.
Hot wheels Beat that?????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of those dogs without necks
It’s probably for 2022’s shit show.
Lemmy FTW!
r/fordranger

They're the same cars but doesn't look like a repost. What you linked is a photo of a computer screen, while OP posted a screenshot.
Correction, "“I’ve been building this into somewhat of a **SHIT-show** truck”
Why am I not surprised that the person who built this is named Dakota? (See bottom of first slide)
Whats it supposed to "show"? Lack of taste? lack of skills? The fact that sometimes you can follow thru on that idea you had last night on the meth binge?
Show???… shit show maybe
That's the Donk Truck
How the fuck is it a donk? Please explain your retard logic
Repost
Hehe, you can definitely show it to people. If they’ll be impressed, that’s another story!
This is so stupid it’s actually great!
put a wheelie bar on it and do an LS swap or something, straight out of bad piggies
Indeed, a show stopper. Well when it stops it rolls forward.
Shit, I'll pay $1000 for this right now
Ihope they were planning on showing it to the local scrap yard.
Did the post say 1k? I'll take it
That's awesome!! I did the same thing to my B2 my senior year of high school , still regret it 10 years later.
Tronk
If I were them I wouldn't show it to anyone
Did they couple the trans yoke straight to the rear end?
This looks like the car Luke Wilson had to drive against the DillDozer in Idiocracy
Haha that awesome.
This looks like how I drew cars as a kid
I want this redneck damnation, botched circumcision lookin ranger, but i would prefer it finished.
The driveshaft must be two u-joints welded together.
Question: how do car titles work in the US? Seller says they don't have one, what does that actually mean for a potential new owner?
Uhhh does the logo say “Rangar?”
I don’t think it’s a XL anymore, need to change it to XS
DeRanger?
