420 HP 5.0L Coyote-Powered | 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger Explorer | 4x4

Factory Explorer Package | Marti Report Available
This 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger was acquired by the family of its
original owner, and it has since been upfitted with a Coyote
5.0-liter V8 and a ZF five-speed manual transmission paired with a
dual-range transfer case sending power to 2 or all 4 wheels!
The factory (N7) Maroon with Tan Cab Ranger Explorer body was
removed from the frame for installation of the powertrain and to
refinish the chassis. Additional features include aftermarket 15""
wheels with 31x10.50 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2,
power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, tinted glass, a bed cover, a
reupholstered bench seat, replacement carpeting, a RetroSound
stereo, and two 8in subwoofers. When the body was removed from the
frame to refurbish the chassis, a Battle born F-350 brake booster
and master cylinder kit were installed along with Thunderbird front
brake calipers and a rear disc-brake conversion kit.
The Explorer-trim bench seat has been reupholstered in red with
patterned multicolor cloth inserts, and the red carpeting was
replaced. A two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of an 85-mph
speedometer surrounded by four auxiliary gauges, and a tachometer
has been added to the column. The five-digit odometer shows 88k
miles, approximately 3k of which have been added since the coyote
drivetrain!
The fuel-injected Coyote 5.0-liter V8 was sourced from a 2011 F-150
and received Mustang-specification camshafts and exhaust headers as
well as replacement timing chains and and oil pump and gear before
being installed.
