I am scoring a flowmaster 40 series barely used, 3" in offset but it has 2 outs. For the price I'll put up with it. I'll check ohio law first but I want to exit in front of the passenger wheel for convenience. 2 pipes too for convenience not to look cool, it will be easier than a collector.

I bought some more exhaust pieces, I have enough to create the exhaust up to the muffler now.

I'm ordering stainless bungs for the O sensors today, I'm going to weld them equal length from the header outlet after the first part of the exhaust is welded.

I also scored a radiator shroud, I didn't keep the original for some reason and the 4.0 shroud would have had to be hacked. The 5.0 radiator is over an inch below the 4.0 but there is nothing under the ranger to stop it.

I slotted the trans crossmember to have some adjustment. I haven't tightened the trans or the motor mounts yet in case I need to move a half inch front or back for clearance on "something".

The U joint is in, man does it look unusual LOL but it will do the job.

Hopefully by the weekend I'll be running the return line and the trans lines. The 2000 ranger was a returnless fuel system and the 97 motor had a return. A collective decision was made to run a return line to the filler tube. I have to buy some line for the transmission oil lines I'll use that for the return and weld a fitting on the filler tube. Just kidding about welding the filler tube :) I would have liked to seen your eyes when you read that though.
