I really like these wheels but want to make sure I'm not going to have issues with them rubbing, etc... I'm...

    Insurance

    My State Farm agent states that he can only insure my Bronco for $5k or so which is a joke. For more valuable Broncos ($30k+), do you get insurance through a "antique" insurance broker or how do I go about getting insurance for what mine is really worth? Where do I find a good auto appraiser...

    Best looking Cage!

    Let's see your cages or examples of what you like. I'm trying to decide on a family cage design and have looked at 100's of pictures. I seem to switch my thoughts on them when I sleep on it a few days at a time. Right now, I think I like the WildHorses4x4.com "Family Cage" design the best...

    Exhaust Questions

    I just finished having my 408 engine installed in my 74 (430hp/510tq). What size pipes should I run from the shorty's back? 2.5", 3", etc? And what mufflers do ya'll recommend? I've been looking at the Flowmaster 40 and 44. Not sure they even make the 40 anymore, so I guess it would be 40...

    Engine Installation Prices

    I just had my crate motor installed and the shop charged me additional for a few questionable items. For example, I decided to replace the clutch while the engine was out. They didn't charge me to install the clutch as that was part of the process of removing the old one. I agree that is a no...

    Headers for 408 Stroker

    I need headers for my new BluePrint Engines 408 stroker. I've looked at BC Broncos, Wild Horses, TBP, Summit Racing, Jegs, Etc... The largest I have found is 1 5/8. I want ceramic headers and want something really nice to get this engine swap finished right. I'd appreciate your suggestions and...

    408 Install

    The shop pulled my 302 today and the water pump is done. They will begin installation of the 408 tomorrow (Friday or Monday). The clutch looks fine, but it's 15 years old and the mechanic said I should highly consider getting a new clutch right now since they have it all apart. He also said the...

    FAST Fuel System Kit / Headers

    BluePrintEngines.com has finished my 408 which will ship tomorrow. I need to order the fuel system kit. Should I get the internal or external kit? Summit was having a hard time explaining the differences. I thought I would ask you all. Which one should I go with? http://tinyurl.com/y9futypz...

    Drive train for High Power Engine

    I ordered my 408 Stroker Crate last week. While I wait, what do I need to do to beef up my current drive train? I currently run an NP435, 4.11's, and 35's. It looks like I have a Ford 9" rear end. My Bronco is a weekend driver and doesn't go off road. I want to be very quick off the line and I...

    BluePrint 408 Dyno Numbers

    I've been talking to BluePrint for quite some time. They have agreed to swap the cam for my street only Bronco, but I'm a little reluctant to mess around with what they are already producing. The head engineer has been very helpful, and after considering several comp cams, we are back at their...

    408 Stroker EFI (BluePrint Engines)

    I'm leaning hard towards this engine for my 74. I talked to the BP Engineer Manager Chris today and we had a good conversation. BP is willing to swap their standard camp with the Comp Cams 35-440-8. Chris says the quoted torque should increase quite a bit, especially at lower RPM's, but I may...

    Seat belts for family cage

    I need seat belts for a new family cage. My Bronco is a weekend driver around town, not for off roads, rock crawling, etc... I assume a 3pt retractable seat belt is best for the front. I have considered 5pt but I think those may be too restrictive for my use. And would you recommend a 3pt or lap...

    Family Cage Options

    I am trying to finish the design of my family cage. I am trying to decide if I should get the seat tie ins or not. I am 6'4" tall, and don't want the bar at the floor board to be an issue getting in and out. I am getting the tall man package. I don't rock crawl or go off-roading. It's simply a...

    Transmission for high power engine

    I am about to install a 408 stroker (425hp / 455tq). I am currently running a NP435, 4:11's, and 35" tires. I've been told that I should change out my transmission at the same time I swap the engine. What do you guys think? I've also been told to look at the NV4500 and NV3550. I want a manual...

    408 Swap Questions

    I'm about to go from a 302 to a 408 crate motor from Blueprint Engines. I have a 3.5" susp lift and a 2" body lift, running 35's with an NP435. What modifications will need to be done to make this engine fit? Will I need new motor mounts? Will I need to modify the hood based on my current...

    Best Family Cage and Pix!

    I'm ready to buy a family cage. I've looked at a lot of cages on here. I want a simple looking cage (I don't like the spider web look), but something that isn't too box like (rear end bar standing straight up/very little angle), and most importantly one that will get the job done if it rolls...
