[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Progress has been slow, but progress is being made. I literally work on the ranger ever single chance I get, which has allowed me to get lots of stuff done! But not as much as we would have liked by now.... I do have a ton of pictures to get through so lets get started!
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]HUGE OBSTACLES on the wiring of this build have been OVERCOME! Ever feel like you are at war with a truck? Good to win some battles!!
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Wiring a 07 (okay okay late 06, I call it a 07 because it has the same wiring as an 07, NOT an 06, so it appears Ford switched to the new CANBUS system half way through 06? I am not sure. I have only owned two 05s and worked on this "07")
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]so as I was saying.....wiring a 07 Ranger with a 5.0 and using a Holley is total un charted territory
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I have won some major battles...........lets get you guys up to speed

okay with the coil pack tower all completed I could finally move on to finishing the rest of the under hood wiring/ plumbing
This is oil pressure port for 302 engine allows you to install two oil pressure sensors. I ordered two of these so when I build my sport trac I can have one too!
Installed into the engine with thread sealant. The factory dash oil pressure gauge for a 98 5.0 was used as well as a Holley compatible pressure transducer for the Holley PCM to monitor oil pressure
paint had begun on the upper intake. Intake was stripped of all the plumbing and accessories, thoroughly washed and cleaned. then primer and paint...... this two tone paint job took me a bit to accomplish, I love the end result. I wanted to keep the final appearance a secret but that would make life really difficult for me trying to hide the upper plenum from all the pics.
So here it is! The final paint scheme, I wanted to match the holley coil drivers and also keep the red/black/grey theme going (calipers, rear axle, etc)
The intake plate was color matched to the grey then I hand painted two coats of black inlay.
The intake plate may change later................ something custom could easily be made.
I also hand painted the tops of all the fasteners after the intake was assembled
after first coat of black, before touch up. I like getting to use my artistic skills once in a while.......not many things hand painted anymore
sneak peek of it resting in the engine bay
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]match the Holley color scheme and our truck win win
