ranger/ lightning conversion

hey guys. i tried doing a search and came up empty handed. i am possibly looking into doing a ranger/ lightning convo and wanted to know if anybody could help out with any info or links. possibly any pics of the underside of the Lightningbolt.plus any technical info would be grately appreciated. i know the basics about the truck but i dont know the details, like what motor mounts were used, who fabricated the headers, how much the motor was moved forward or rearward, and the electronics: wiring harness. thanx

The headers are custum one offs by Roush, I also remember one of the engineers saying something about modifying the cowl. unfortunitly it's been a couple years since I talked "briefly" to the guys that built it, at Detroits autoRama.
They had just finished it at 3 AM and had it down there by 9 am, after they said it took to much modification to ever see production I didn't bother trying to find out all the little details you need , cause I knew I'd never try it.
Good luck, and it looks like a good link by Red Rocket

I see Denny0328 snuk in with more links

Man, I could totally go for that... Especially if it were the same price as an L, with a few tasteful body mods...

And AWD. Oh yeah.

AWD is for soccer MOMs, and people who can't drive Real Muscle

Here's a thread from when it was at Autorama 2 years ago:

Unfortunately, the pictures are gone. It was there this year, too.
