Now For Sale! This is my 73 Ranchero before i started the resto/mod. It had a 351 cleveland 2V, but I replaced that with a 4V. I bought this car from an old man who has had the car since it was brand new, but the engine was getting a little sloppy as it started to edge over the 100,000 mile mark.

This is the Car before any thing was done to it.

A few pics of the old engine before it got pulled. It was originaly a 2V but I bought new 4V heads.

Here is the car now, with the new 4V engine installed. My Dad and I dropped it in at our garage.

wow that ranchero looked really good before you pulled the engine. Now it just looks awsome. how much did that rebuild cost you? I have a 400 in my 75 and I need to look for a rebuild. It leaks like a sieve and has all the smog equipment on it.
