    Good to know. Thanks.

    New coils and leaves

    We had 6* shims in it. We'll see how everything sets with the new leaves and go from there.

    New coils and leaves

    The u bolts were about a year old and had 3 retorques on them. Wild horses 3.5” lift ordered. New leaves, coils, HD u bolts, plates, shocks, coil spring retainers, etc. I'm excited to see how well this thing rides and drives without superlift coils and 44 year old leaves on blocks.

    We got it running right!!

    Well the shops “custom” Holley is once again flooding cylinders with fuel. I'm replacing it with the edelbrock from my blazer since I don't need it anymore.

    New coils and leaves

    Time to make a decision. Dad said the rear end was a little loose. Drove it and it was vibrating bad. This is what I found. I undid the u bolts by hand. Time to upgrade.

    New coils and leaves

    Been driving the truck for about a year now and while we’ve gone through everything else, we left the original super lift coils and leaves//block that came on the truck. Even with some new bilstein 5100 shocks it rides like there’s no suspension at all. Who is a good company to reach out to to...

    Build and Price

    I’ve been playing with this for hours and it looks like I’m about 52-55k no matter how I play with it. Still cheaper than the 392 wrangler by at least 10k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission install kicking my butt

    Ran into a similar issue on mine and turned out the tip of the alignment tool that goes into the flywheel was just a hair to small so while it looked aligned it wasn't and wouldn't allow the trans to line up. Wrapped the tip in a few layers of tape to thicken it up and tried again and it slipped...

    NV3500 swap. How are your shifter boots setup?

    I found a generic small one online and used it. Works great. 1977 Ford Bronco/Fiberglass Body/302 bored .030/balanced/Twisted Wedge aluminum heads/cam/5spd/Locked w/ 4.10’s/35” BFG/4” suspension/3” body

    Slotted rotors

    I've run slotted rotors on my HD trucks with no warpage running 35" tires and towing trailers. All of my sports cars run them also and again no issues with warping. The slots don't help with stopping distance. They help dissipate the heat and gasses that are built up under hard braking which...

    Lost compression - need ideas

    New coil, new float bowl, lower fuel pressure, and timing adjusted. Thing fires off and runs like a champ. No more popping or sputtering or anything. Still got some gremlins to work out but looks like we are on the right path now. 1977 Ford Bronco/Fiberglass Body/302 bored...
