Chip, Computer, 351w and a ranger
I am in need of assistance from anyone with F-150 knowledge. I have a 351w from a 96 F-150. I am putting this engine into my 95 Ranger. I have the wiring harness for the engine, but I would like to know if there are any aftermarket computers. I don't really see the point of buying a stock computer, then having to buy a chip just to get rid of the governor. Face it, I'm not putting a 5.7 in a small truck just to have it shut off at 100 mph 
. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am using a t-5 for the tranny if that helps.

Hi BMRTx78,
No, there is no "aftermarket computer", you will need to use a factory computer for that 351 motor as it came in that 1996 F-150. You'll need one for a manual transmission model as well, of course. You mentioned that you have the wiring harness, you will need all the factory sensors as well, if you don't have them already with the harness.
For some of the Chevy engines there is the Accel and another aftermarket intake, that includes the intake, fuel injection, and control computer complete setup available ($1500-$2000 for openers), but there is nothing in the aftermarket for that 1996 351 motor.
Buying a factory computer and then chipping it is very cost-effective, and far cheaper than any other solution if it were available.
Sounds like a neat swap, we've seen a few V-8 conversion Rangers, usually based on the 5.0, so it's nice to see someone doing it a bit differently, with more cubic inches.
Best of luck with your project,

Hey Neal,
I don't think I've personally known anyone with a more radical V-8 Ranger than yours Neal, and we probably won't, I'm guessing. Your Power Ranger is running the 1/4 mile in the 10's, isn't it? Put an ET in that part of your signature for us.

HI!... MIKE : I actually have no times on the truck yet. I pulled it off the road a few years ago to totally re-do it. The new engine has not been to the track yet. I expect it to go mid to low 10's on the motor. With the N.O.S I'm hoping for mid to high 9's for sure. It only weighs in at 2500lbs!LOL! I can't wait to get it back on the road. Then I go LIGHTNING hunting!!! LOL!

Hi Neal,
WOW!
Yeah, I'd say 900 hp on 2500 lbs. ought to do the trick to get you into the 9's, that won't be a problem if you can keep it hooked up & straight.
