Dads Autox Ranger

You guys showed interest in it in another thread so...

This is my dads 2000 ranger that he uses for Autox.  Its a former drag truck that the best time out of it was 10.0002 @ 138mph.  Truck runs on propane (because we build propane delivery trucks).  Engine is a 550ci 460 with trick flow heads, victor intake, custom roller cam and roller rockers, single 4 barrel baseplate with dual propane carbs on it(carbs only flow 425cfm each) and a vortech YSI supercharger making 8psi roughly.  He has it corked down for autox though so its only making roughly 600hp instead of 900 or so, lol.








88 t-bird tc - 14.97 @ 90  IHI 18 psi + k+n filter...so far - NOW HX-35 @25psi - 12.75@112    348rwhp/395rwtq
78 F-150 - 11.61@120 on 175shot N20 - 12.55@110 on motor - 5200# race weight:hick:

I'm in love.  That is badass to the max!  I can't believe it, but that 460 doesn't look as crammed in there as you would think.  I figured a 302 would take up a huge amount of a real estate in a Ranger...let alone a big block.
