1975 Ford F-150 Ranger 6R80 V8 Conversion Build

This 1975 Ford F-150 Ranger received a full modern drivetrain transformation with precision engineering and high-performance components. Our team performed a 6R80 automatic transmission swap, paired with a Holley Sniper 2 EFI system and Holley HyperSpark ignition kit, delivering reliable power and modern drivability to this classic pickup.

The original engine was removed and replaced with a 460CID V8, fully mounted using Bronco Graveyard 1978-1979 Ford Bronco & 4WD Ford Truck Extreme Duty motor mounts, ensuring durability under extreme loads. Both engine and transmission mounts were upgraded to support the new setup.
