I believe that SVT actually toyed around with it a while back. I saw a show (on TNN i think) that was interviewing John Collett (sp?) and gave a tour of a shop that had most of the ford/svt concepts and projects, including the GT40 concept, the super stallion, the big block orange BOSS car, and a 5.0 Ranger that they wouldn't give any info on. It can't be that hard for ford/SVT to fit a V-8 in a Ranger, its not much different than an 302 explorer.
another thing is, BBK is now making a supercharger for the 4.0L Ranger, which is already a pretty darn quick truck, nothing compared to a lightning but still decent
i would personally LOVE to own a V8 ranger
hey i can improve on your idea, what about an AWD supercharged DOHC 4.6 RANGER!
hey, GM made the typhoon and syclone (AWD turbo 4.3), why can't Ford make an AWD?
