1997 Ford Ranger XLT Xtra Cab 4.0L MODIFIED

1997 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab Pickup 2-Door Description

1997 Ford Ranger extra cab 4x4 for sale. 5 speed manual. I have owned this truck since it was new and it has been carefully maintained. It has a newly built and highly modified engine with about 1000 miles on it. I also put a clutch in it when I did the engine swap, it is perfect. The engine is the original 4.0 V6 block built by Morana Racing with the following mods: Morana Racing forged flat top pistons. Morana Racing stage 3 heads with heavy duty valve springs. Heads are port matched to the lower intake and the lower intake is opened up to the fuel rail further. It also has a Competition Cams 422 cam, 24lb injectors, 1-5/8 runner JBA stainless headers, BBK oversized throttle body, Volant Intake, custom heavy duty 3" exhaust with a FLowmaster Super 44 muffler (loud). I was going to have VMP tuning write a tune for it but if the truck moves from the altitude here in Jackson to somewhere else it would be better to have the new owner have the tune written for where it's new home is. They recommended an oversize MAF so I have one from a Mustang that will go with it and all the parts to adapt it to the intake/filter etc. The suspension has a James Duff lift kit with extended radius arms, it is about 4" over stock. New 32" Mud Claw tires on 15x8 Pro Comp steel wheels with 1.25" wheel spacers. Wheels have the larger 5x5.5 bolt pattern because a future project to put F150 axles on the truck was in the works. (I have the axles if interested). Both bumpers are James Duff double tubes with receiver hitch front and rear. Both are freshly powder coated. I put bucket seats in it from an older Ford Explorer, they are really clean and the foam is perfect. The audio system has been in it for a long time but is in excellent working order. I worked in the car audio install business for a long time, it is professionally installed with an Alpine head unit, Xtant amplifier, MB Quart Q series separates in the doors and a custom 12" sub enclosure. Most likely anyone would want to upgrade the head unit to something with smart phone connectivity etc. A Raven color matched topper in good condition is also with it. I have a taller set of coil springs with new coil perches that will go with it as well. The truck is very clean, it does have a few dings and scratches, it's 20 years old. Clear coat on the rear driver side fender has some flaking by the gas door. I was going to replace the fender flares if I kept going on the project, they'r just old and have a couple cracks. All the engine sensors were replaced too. I can probably tell you more about it if you contact me, I can't remember everything.
