have enhanced its performance characteristics.
Here's a brief rundown on the improvements that Den has made to his Ranchero:
1995 5.0 engine new from Ford Motor Sports
T-5 5 speed tranny
3.73 rear end gears
4 wheel disc brakes with power assist
power steering
hydraulic clutch
1965 Mustang retro chrome wheels

Bumpers, grill, and headlight rims rechromed
All new exterior emblems
Den further reports
that he kept the 8 inch rear and fitted it with new 3.73 gears and new bearings.
The front disc's are from a Mustang and the rear discs are from a Granada.
The master cylinder is a Corvette unit and the booster is an aftermarket unit.
