What have you done to your Bronco today? (v.2)

[Eck]

Well I will say damn this thing runs like it should now. Gonna drive it the next few days.

For now! What are your plans for the next time? Haha haha. Congrats and way to make quick work of it and get it back on the road. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Shut your mouth. If there is ever a next time it'll be 408/427 time.

Drove it to work today with great success. Drive home was about 98%. Burned up the header gaskets on each side. Quick run to vatozone and got some percy's aluminum gaskets. Hope this time works.

I noticed that you were showing off the new exhaust system by parking up on a snow drift !!

Of course. Gotta show the bling and check the radius arms.

[ZOSO]

Can someone else take the bad bronco karma?

[Jesus_man]

You're not parked next to a jeep or something are you?

[Digger]

How does that happen?

[ZOSO]

How does that happen?

A factory installed bolt on the bottom side bottomed out.

[ZOSO]

Trans is fixed. Shift kit installed and works great. Man I really like the way this thing runs finally. Now to fix/upgrade/clean up some wiring and I'll be ready for summer.

First day out of the garage, what a long winter. Sorry no picture.

Figured it was time for STICKIES! They're about .5" shorter than my 40" MTRs. No big deal, the sticky part should take care of that!

Game changer!!

Game changer!!

That's what everyone says! I'm hoping I'm impressed. Can't wait to get out and test them.

[Jesus_man]

Yeah, I am just a parrot repeating what I have heard from folks I know. I have no personal experience.

[Digger]

[mickphatmac]

Well, since my brake booster/bracket wasnΓÇÖt playing nice, me and the Boy decided to take out MY frustrations on new Radius Arm Bushings!

We Win!!! (Sorta ;)

Well not to the Bronco but for the Bronco
New jack stands.
Square tubing 3 inch and 2 1/2, 18 to 31 inches high.
Cost $15.00 for angle iron every thing I had laying around. I have enough to build another set. Will sand blast and paint this summer

[Jesus_man]

Nice set of stands!

[ZOSO]

Nothing compared to digger but here's what I spent the last few days doing. Built a mount for my compressor and tank.

[Jesus_man]

That will be nice to have a tank! Wish I had done something to incorporate that into my setup. Someday!

[Digger]

That's nice!

I've been eye-balling that space for heavier, items to keep the CG down. That is a clean looking install!

Good place to put dual batteries. Run some 2/0 up to the front and bam. Keep that weight down low.

[Justin]

That's exactly my plan at some point. Would love to look at your setup

[mickphatmac]

Inching closer. At some point IΓÇÖll be out of meaningless projects and IΓÇÖll HAVE to fire it up!!!

...but not today

Those are some sweet looking headlight

[mickphatmac]

I was only looking for some decent ΓÇ£Colorful ColoradoΓÇ¥ replacements.
Mudflaps on a Bronco!???
Yeah... IΓÇÖm that guy

I guess these will have to do?

[Jesus_man]

Yeah, it is too bad you couldn't find a new set of the old ones, but these are cool too!

[mickphatmac]

Got a crucial piece of the puzzle in today!
***Thank you Justin for the BIG tank and thank you BroncoRaider for the Fuel Pump!
Is there anywhere under the hood for a good power source In ΓÇ£ONΓÇ¥ I donΓÇÖt want to have to pull the ignition switch out from under the dash so looking for an easier way to hook up that pump.

[BOBS 2 68S]

For me it's not what have I done but what I haven't done.
Pulled the timing chain and gears out, installed new set. While it was down I swapped the differentials out of one Bronco to the other from 3:50 to 4:11. It made a big difference.
Then the motor dropped oil pressure new Valvoline 10-40 with FL1A oil filter. Cold 80 lb pressure warm 40 pounds. 100 miles later the warm pressure drop's to 25 . I pull oil pan and looked at 2 main and rod bearings, the bearings have the look like they ran without oil. Crankshaft end play is .006. Bottom line I have no faith in this motor that it will no brake on the road. I spent most of last summer fighting this motor.
So my wife asked me to just buy a crate motor.
I installed a Blue Print long block 302 roller. From Summit Racing. Motor is bolted in and hope to have it running by this weekend
