Homer:
What happened to little blue?
ITM:
Did it go BOOM?
HechoAmano:
Broke a timing belt a few days ago, non interference engine, but compression tanked in a cylinder test, 30 psi, instead of 140+. At about 270,000 miles, gotta let it go.
Homer:
No u don't drop another motor in it if u like it.
Riverrat:
With that kind of miles on it it's time for a new one.

Pickles:

Homer:

snippy:
er,,, no thanks. but im glad Hecho got his moneys worth out of it.
Riverrat:
You could put the suspension from that under the Diamond T to give it an upgrade.
snippy:
its too long. wheelbase of this ranger is, 125 inches! the track is perfect tho, its under 6 feet. and if i went ford what engine from a ranger would be desirable for a hot rod? and the 300 ci 6 is too tall. i just cant see it happening with ford. i mean id havta get the 302 in it if i went ford.
Riverrat:
Just because you put a Ford chassis under it doesn't mean you couldn't put a Chevy engine on it.

Since we're bumping old pictures of Maynard's Escort, I thought I would bump this with an update. The guy who gave me a couple hundred for it runs his own 1-2 man towing business. He fixes dead cars in spare time and resells them. Took him about 6-8 months but I heard he had found a bad head gasket, which was probably why the thing ran so bumpy the last few years. He replaced the time belt, and sold it. I think it's doing work for the cartel down in Mexico now.
