94 ford f150 (Raptor)
I have a long bed 94 f150 XLT 5.0 manual 5spd truck that is mostly stock that I plan to turn into a 94 ford raptor. My goal is to give it similar performance specifications (mainly suspension, engine performance, and appearance) as a modern raptor. The reason I am posting here is because I would love to get advice and recommendations on what I should do and look at over the next few years to complete this project.

Yeah I don't even know how to respond really.
Get a degree in engineering and have an unlimited budget would be my first suggestion. My second suggestion would be to scrap the idea entirely and just build it up with era-appropriate hardware.

He's talking about dumping $20K plus into a truck that's worth maybe $5K ...stupid.. but it's his money.

No such thing... why 2 threads ?

You have a lot of obstacles engine/tranny wise. 302 is a pretty weak motor (ask me how I know) and so is the M5OD transmission you have behind it (ditto). So if you are looking to build a power beast you will need significant upgrades.

I posted twice because I wasn't sure what threads had people looking at them. just made the account today. I guess I might look elsewhere for advice on this project. I am not wanting to turn a 94 into an exact modern raptor. Just a 94 concept of one today.
