Rebuildin' the Black Cloud
I've got a build thread up on classicbroncos.com; I can throw it here too if there's any interest. There's some super bright folks here I could benefit from, if ya'll think it's a good idea. I'm doin' Spidertrax front 'n rear with a bunch o' changes. Current build thread start is at http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=198940 Thoughts?

Re: Rebuildin' the Black Cloud
I just saw the thread. It will be amazing to watch this build. That is one hell of a component list. The legend is gonna ride again!

Re: Rebuildin' the Black Cloud
Already up to $110k spent on parts. Project is coming along. Doing an entirely new block based on a Dart Iron Eagle. We're likely going to have a club meeting for B.R.O.N.CO at the speed shop to see the motor running on the dyno....would any of ya'll be interested in seeing that? I can throw out an invite here if there's interest.
Also....anyone else going to Moab Bronco Safari? I've got a spot reserved at the Moab Rim campground....wanna see everyone there!

Holy crap that's a ton of money. I might be interested in seeing the speed shop, haven't ever see an engine get dynoed by itself. The "when" will make a big difference.

Yea, it's a significant bit. Motor alone will have more than $25k in it.
I'll post it up when we figure that out.

Re: Rebuildin' the Black Cloud
I haven't looked at Coby's thread for a while, but if you have some time, it is worth a look at the progress. Good hell this is one amazing build. Simply amazing project. We will need to have a breakfast up north and see this thing in person when it is completed. Wow!
