We are looking at a late 90's Splash to put a 410w nitrous motor in. I will contiue to watch this thread.

 

I have a 96 longbed. 306/stick/ 200 shot/8.8 out of an Explorer, 4.10s, took leaf springs apart, kept main leaf plus next spring and used a short add a leaf, clamped main and second spring, SRD Assasins( he will make them, I got the
first set for a Ranger),looking to upgrade rear shocks, 325 M/T DRs. Stick coming out and glide going in.
Cant help on the front as I have I beams( might go to a Pinto setup next year).

Post up some photos of your truck.

 

My dad is building a 87 ranger.... He went with a mustang 2 front suspension, 9" rear with a ladder bar setup.

He's going with a NA 347 with a C4 tho.

 

SRD Assasins( he will make them, I got the
first set for a Ranger),

I must be getting the 2nd set, ordered them Tuesday

glide going in.
good choice, I don't have any regrets after switching


Cant help on the front as I have I beams

same here, I did make a fixture off of the stock swing arms, and built my own. They use heim joints, and single adjustable coil-overs, with an adjustable upper mount.

I drive mine during the week, too. It's fun to drive to the track, run 9-teens at 150 on low boost, and do it again without touching a thing, and drive back home.

 

Well I have a 97 that I had put a 87-93 k member underneath and built stut mounts for and well that's been put on the back burners becuz I had to sell all the front suspension to by my motor setup I have now. Couldn't pass up the sweet hard of a deal that I got on it. I also will be running a power glide. This motor setup I bought has been 8.7 at 162mph in a 3250 mustang gt. An he wasnt even leaning on it yet. So If I can run low 9's, high 8's I will be happy. But I knw the problem with trucks is planting the power to the ground! I have a set of home made caltracs that I picked up. Anyone have good luck with those. Also thought about making brackets and mounting 10 way struts out back! I have to stay with leafs cause in true street rules you have to obtain factory mounting point in the rear. So ladder bar or four link is out ofthe question right now!!! Any one have 60ft times of there trucks

 

My best so far has been a 1.39

 

What's your rear end consist of? What do you have for internals?

Do you have stock shock mounts?
My lower plates do not have a provision for shock mpoounts
as the stockers mount to the rear end housing.

The tie down mounts are nice.

 

That's funny. He asked if I needed shock mounts, which I didn't. They'll be on the housing.
I bet YOU got the set intended for my build, and I should have gotten the first set....

 

Nah, Ive had mine for over 4 months.

 

Bump...

I-beam guys. What coil rate are you running up front?

I'm in the middle of building up a 94, so don't know the final weight yet. But looking for something in the ballpark...

Extended cab. Fully gutted. Speed holes everywhere. MS cage. Iron block LS.

Thanks for any direction.
