Ha! If pushing the engine back ~4" counts then I have a near mid engine with my 4bt, haha.

1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow.

Finally got the lightbar tacked.
Boom bitches!!!! 0* both ways!!!! Fab some solid engine mounts, throw the oil pan on for mock up & Time to mock front beams! Should be interesting pretty soon. All the planning should all come into play soon & see if this experiment is actually going to work! If not, I'll lie and say it was planned!

I've never had lightbar envy before, very unsettling and strangely enjoyable.

Very Nice work on the light bar!
IMO old school round lights just look right on the early rigs. How is the light bar attached on the A pillar ?

Just read where vision x has some LED pods in round config like this. Called cannons as I recall. Then lightforce has one with GIF center and LED ring.
But I dig the look here!

Great progress, still can't believe what you have accomplished with that! Makes me want to find another F-150 for myself.

Thanks guys... I used 3) 1/4" nutserts for each side to hold it. I was going to make it articulating with a actuator, but decided I really didn't need it. Lightforce cannon's are bad ass. Ive been collecting Hella 4000's for awhile. There will be a total of 9 on this dude when completed. pgilbeau- DO IT!!! maybe a 80" trackwidth bug with a LS!

Maybe, whatever is next most likely won't be another Bronco and will be more along the line of what you are doing.
