Mustang-powered V8 Ford Ranger! The engine swap you've been waiting for

Not happy with a standard Ford Ranger? Why not shove a 5.0-litre Coyote Mustang into the engine bay and see what happens? Watch the video to see how this locally-built Ranger Mustang sounds and performs!

The Ford Ranger is one of South Africa's most popular bakkies and while Ford offers an appealing choice of standard engines, including a powerful V6 engine, some enthusiasts require a little more oomph...

Meet Kevin Haward, a Gauteng-based enthusiast. Kevin owns this Savage Ford Ranger Mustang featuring Ford's lauded 5-0-litre Coyote V8 engine with a bolt-on supercharger that packs a punch with 385 kW on the wheels! A Terex 6-speed manual gearbox is fitted.

The project started using a Ranger 2.2-litre turbodiesel as a base and then the bakkie was stripped and built up with the componentry needed to cope with the increased power load such brakes from a BMW X6M and an uprated FOX suspension system.

As Kevin admits, this project car is far from perfect but it gives him all the right feels and that's what matters most!

Watch the video to see how this Ford Ranger Mustang came to life!
