I didnt work on my truck one bit, but here is what we did do. We worked from 11 am to about 11 PM from long block, non painted form to needs a carb installed and motor mounts.
I worked on that oil pan for like 2 1/2 hours! I stripped most of the paint off with aircraft stripper then 80 grit removed a measurable amount of rust.
since there isnt much diff between these pics, normally I wouldnt have put it up, but I wanted to show off my idea for blocking off the ports for painting. I used cheap exhaust gaskets.
after 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of color
Mocked up header to check spark plug clearances. I felt so cool asking for parts from a 66 Mustang with a 289!!
Such a sense of accomplishment!
Had to put this one up!!
and last but not least spent forever trying to mock this up and see if it would work. GM 1 wire alt, 8" turnbuckle a 6" 5/16 bolt and a 3/4" spacer thats X # of inches long.
went to the junkyard looking through an 8ft bed full of pulleys trying to find one that was almost the same as my broncos for the car. Bought a whole bunch of stuff in trade for my rent this month. Also while I was at the yard I looked under the hood of a van and found this.
Been looking for a resivior with motor but didnt include coolant for about a year now (ok - 8 months deployed)
we are getting rid of power steering on the car. 4 and 6 cyls came with a quick ratio non power 2:1 and this one has like a 3.5:1 power and about 550 lbs of V8.
had to add that little bracket that I think came from my Caprice to stabilize the alt better.
the spacers and engine ground stud... if anyone didnt know where it was.
Casting # of engine we took out, so the car is on its 3rd rebuild.
cost about 100 bucks for this fuel line set up, looks darn good!!
I figured I'd start an "official" thread about this, since there really is no definitive information about FSB's that have been or were (in some instances still are) used across the US by Police, EMS & Federal agencies, etc.
Use this thread as the definitive source and/or info gathering about...
Lets get a sticky!!!
It's easy, tell us anything you've done to your Bronco today. It could be as simple as staring at it, or as complicated as finishing a SAS, doesn't matter
I washed mine today, and tried to fix my loose passenger side mirror
XL isted here on Marketplace. Not mine, just saw it. It's listed in Bethlehem, but it was bought and driven in Denver.
Just thought I'd post it here so it would get more traffic, hope that's ok. Seems like someone was looking for a 96 recently.
After seeing the one above, I saw this 96 in...

I did some horse trading and now the proud owner of one 1978 ford bronco. The truck has been sitting in the woods since 2008, the best part is the truck was transported east from escondido ca in 2006, the paper from the shipper was still in truck. The truck has zero rust and somebody did a a...
