Dude, a 460 would be ****ing awesome to have in a Ranger. If you could get it to fit, that would be one mean son of a *****.

 

I say go for it with the LS1. Good engines, fast, reliable.

For a pre runner truck i think it would be pretty good. I think there a light engine too.Don't listen to the haters.

Everyone throws a cummins in everything too and you dont see ppl complaining

 

Good luck ever selling it, you know you will eventually.

 

He got it to fit and it has EFI too.

Edit: I was wrong it's a 545ci LOL.

here goes the butthurtfest of a thread

Sounds like all the truck op describe is highly modified with purpose, hardly a ranger how it left the factory. at which point the motor should be the best plant regardless of who makes it because the lines are already heavily blurred. anyone who gives up the best performance in a vehicle that isn't collectable, rare, or destined to be of great value is retarded. the ls1 is proven and one of the truly excellent engines to come from detroit. will make one sick truck

 

Your welcome.

 

Whoever put that LS1 into that R33 should be hung. Thats like getting a Supra throwing the 2JZGTE into the garbage in throwing in a LS1.

 

Don't know why I couldn't find it

 

I could see a 5.4 S/C out of a lightning thrown in a prerunnerd out Ranger,

Call it the Baja Bolt....

The LS1 is used in every big build up.... sounds kinda mainstream to me... not cool....

 

I like the Ford Aluminator myself. 600+ hp sounds good to me.

 

Hahahahaha....Thats awesome! If only I could give you a high five.

 

Wow did anyone see that the ranger on RPS with the 545 is.. BLOWN.... i would guess that would rape.

EDIT

Blown:

 

Thats not a 460 thats a 302.

He went from a 2.9 Turbo, to a "Frankenstein" 302, to a 545.

the 545 is n/a and should be making around 700hp

 

actually the super snake makes 600 + hp and if thats not enough, they can upgrade it for you to make over 700 hp......its the gt500 with a KB blower, but it comes from the factory that way and of course a larger price tag

 

the 700hp super snake also comes with ZERO warrenty lol. I have that LS1 motivational poster at home. dammit im at work. A buddy sent it to me because a few of you know im putting one in my wide body bmw.

 

I'm sure for those that get the Super Snake package they don't care about the warranty, and can afford the costs.

 

im guessing that 545 is gonna kill a Ls1..

 

On gas mileage

LS1 have alot of options too. Also half the CI lol


There are alot of engine out there that will smoke a stock LS1. But Stock for stock they are hard to beat

 

Its also a fully built motor compared to a Production car motor, I would hope it would kill a Ls1.

I love the idea of a LS series motor in a ranger. A motor is a motor, use the best available to you. I plan on putting a 5.3L Chevy motor in my truck eventually. they are cheap, efi, compact and have alot of support along with most of chevy's motors. The Stupid rivalry between ford and chevy is just that, DUMB.

 

I ddient read enough but why not a stroked and bored 351 its called a 427 stroker. 500+hp

 

Ls1 is lighter and more compact. Fits better in a ranger then trying to shoehorn a 351.
