Wondering about the emmision laws in your area and why it would have to be a 89 or older? Can you post a link for your state laws?Hi,
I've got a 7.3 diesel sitting in my garage. I've been thinking about putting it into a bronco. Are there any particular years of broncos that are more or less desirable for this? I need to do a 1989 or older due to emission laws in this area.
Thanks,
Ryan
Not sure what happened but it cranks now. The bad news is, it is backfiring through the intake. I think it may have a popped HG. I am going to try to get it running pretty quick to see if it will run at all. If not, I will have to try to weld the frame mount back together and stick the 351 back in that bad boy....Least I know it will pull.Diesel swaps are fun arnt they, I did a powerstroke in a 351 powered f250. I know what you are going threw with that motor crossmember, when i do my SAS im building a whole new unboltable crossmember.
For the starter it sounds like you have the stater relay power cable to the soleniod but no power cable on the starter. The main battery positive cable goes on the large lug on the starter.
In my part of Oregon anything over 20 years old is emissions exempt. If I got a 1989, or possibly even a 1990 bronco, I could register it with the existing motor and then do the conversion.Wondering about the emmision laws in your area and why it would have to be a 89 or older?

You posted this shortly before I posted so here it is. I want a Cummins but found the 6.9 for a few hundred dollars. I am not looking to build a tractor pull vehicle so lower power with tons of torque is perfect.but why a 6.9??such turd motors. be better off with a gaser rather than that thing...
isnt deisel the most expensive right now? you could run it on fry oil but it still costs money to filter it and add the right chemicals for it to run right,and run on anything, and CHEEEEEP.

I think you are misled on your "turd" part. There are a few of them doing pretty well. I am going to slap a blower on it and be good to go (provided what I am woking on now works). This will be for driving in the snow and in the mud and towing.
If THAT is not enough to sway you, it will run on anything that has BTU's.

ACtually you can run just filtered veggie oil, no equipment to make it "runable" fuel required. A heater in the tank, a switch to change from reg diesel to veggie and back (have to "flush" the system before shut down and easier to start on cool/cold mornings with reg diesel). Done.isnt deisel the most expensive right now? you could run it on fry oil but it still costs money to filter it and add the right chemicals for it to run right,
ive thought of doing this very same swap but it just didnt seem worth it when you take in account the price of the licences and equipment it takes to turn the fry oil into a runable fuel
check this link out SWS its loaded with all the info you need on converting the oil into usable fuel
