CA needs to split into 3 and them maybe you would have a chance...otherwise you gotta leave CA and avoid CO if you want to convert a 02+ to a 5.0
Thanks for the feedback! I agree all SBF needs some aluminum heads
I thought of that but traveling back and forth from even AZ to see the grandchildren would add miles fast but it is a thought.
I have been told if you are building a street motor the the High Performance Cat Iron Heads will make more HP but I looked at all the specs... and if you believe what you read, then the Street Alum heads work a little better on low end torque, so ta-da... aluminum heads are the way I went.

My '88/5.0L was a great truck, the way Ford should have built it but getting an '03 with a 5.0L to pass emissions... nada !
Excuse my ignorance of things Ranger but - Catalytic converters???
My '88 didn't use them and I actually tried to pass the '03 emissions and did without them !
Out here in SoCal you can be stopped and checked for all of your emission equipment, maybe I could use some dummy Cats... LoL !
