Headed to the salvage yard soon? Keep your eyes peeled for common Bronco modification parts and let people know they are available. Please remember to include the name and location of the yard, as well as WHEN you spotted the parts.

I'm not sure I want to know the answer to this question: How did the 351w short block look? Any idea on mileage?

Pistons appeared normally fouled. Didn't appear to have been exposed to the elements for long, if at all. It is a motor I have been keeping my eyes on. I saw the truck when it first went into the yard and considered pulling it for myself as a back up/project motor for a later build. It had many new/aftermarket parts on it, so I think the truck was fairly well cared for but cannot speak with certainty to that. There was no outward appearing damage to the body of the truck, so I cannot say its presence in the yard was mechanical or accident related. As a short block, I think it would be worth the effort if you are planning a complete tear down. Of course, the Bronco also would make for a suitable candidate, IMO, as it is still buttoned up. The F150 short block does have the benefit of having most of the heavy removal already accomplished.
