Re: 2004 5.0 swap. That wasn't a question.

Re: Maaco paint?

I've seen good paint from them before, but someone one told me they use a chem in their prep and only their paint sticks after that unless you strip and re-prime. They might have been full of it, but...

Re: swaping 00 4 cyl into a 04 ranger with a 2.3l 4 cyl

^Yeah, true that. Sorry, I was thinking about the 3.0 vulcan engines. Might check a scrap yard for a long block, or talk your pops into a V8 swap.

Re: 3.0l Exhaust

I've got a flowmaster cat back that I love the sound of for $75 in NC. I'll even help you put in on if you come here. But I don't know if it'd be worth it to drive from the US all the way here. lol
