The last of what is needed to install the new engine and fire it up arrived today!
PTC made a converter to my truck's exact specs. I sent my injectors out to Race City Injector in Mooresville to have them flow matched and cleaned
This weekend I really hope to have the new engine between the frame rails.

PTC makes a hell of a nice converter. Love how your Ranger turned out.

Bone stock C6 with a shiny pan
Converter will stall at 2500 in low range and approx 3200 in high. Lenny at PTC worked his magic on it.

Ran into some pretty major tuning issues that should be solved this weekend. If I was more 'puter literate, I'd screenshot my order that is on it's way from Amazon that ought to clear it up.
It should drive outside this Saturday with answered prayers, good vibes and unicorn farts.

The unicorn farts are always a major tuning issue. Even more hard to diagnose than MAF and bad ground issues on SBF engines.

The unicorn farts paid off. Bad out of the box MAF and distributor threw me off track for a while, but we're all good now!
All that is left is building the front track bar, fluid fill up and an appointment with the muffler shop in 2 weeks.

Gotta love quality aftermarket parts! Costs everyone time and money!
From your timeline, it sounds like we may see it at the flats in May?

Done. Done. Done!
After a bout with multiple bad out of the box TFI modules (that I am now a guru of diagnosing
) she runs and runs very well!
I buttoned up the suspension, did some engine tuning and drove it around the business park last weekend and everything seems to be in order.
Yesterday I loaded up and took it to Custom Exhaust and Brakes here in Asheville for some sound therapy. 4 hours later the drivers down pipe will no longer boink the driveshaft and the new muffler choice let's the ol SBF sing a little
.
I'll test it out at The Flats next weekend in preparation of wheeling 3 of the next 4 weekends!
On to the pics.

Glad to see you got it figured out! If it makes you feel any better, we have been fighting the same crap with garbage parts straight out of the box. Looking forward to see how it does with the new additions!

That is a good link. I used to have to worry about that when I ran the ford motor in my ranger. I don't have that problem anymore with the chevy TBI... 
Just can't trust that shifty TFI.
