After ages finally got this thing running again!!!!!!
It needs some buttoning up before I try driving it. But that'll be a tomorrow thing as I don't want a noise complaint

Then it started to knock, I couldn't hear it as I was paying attention to other noises. Then it, well, stopped. Abruptly and instantly......
4 years, and y'all don't want know how much I spent. Shockingly, less money then buying a v6 Ranger with this engine and trans combo tho

I never mentioned this much on Twitter. But for about 4 years I've been working on rebuilding this v6, and swapping it into my Ranger and was able to get it running finally!!
For a bit......
