I can turn it a full 360 with a 1/2 ratchet. It's tight, but doesn't catch anywhere. I got it for $300 but the guy must've not known what he had. It's got an aftermarket carb, aftermarket intake, aftermarket valve covers, and after pressure washing it I found a rebuild tag on it. The plan is to get a rebuild kit for it, one of those top end kits from summit and jab it in the ranger. Decided to go carb due to my limited experience in wiring, and it also has a mechanical fuel pump so even less wiring. Anyone know what manual transmission is best behind this truck? Not a big money one, but a junkyard find-able one
