The SVOs came with five lugs as well as 16 inch wheels. Thats pretty big by mid 80's standards. The Ranger cams from certain years are roller cams while the SVO cams are not. You can pick up a few ponies pretty cheap just from the swap from a wrecked Ranger. You have to remember that the SVOs also came out with 4-wheel disc brakes. Ford wouldn't do that again until the 93 Cobra. Also the 93 Cobras use the SVO taillight lense. The SVO is considered to be the beginning of Fords Special Vehicles program. Originally it was called Special Vehicles Operations.....now It's called the Special Vehicles Team(SVT), so technically the SVO is the Cobras and Lightnings older brother.
