    Tire/wheel size opinion

    I’m getting ready to send my 2000 explorer PCM in to get the PATS deleted. While its there I’ll have the tire size/gear parameters set. What’s the best looking tire size on an uncut 69 with a 1.5” body lift? Thinking 31 or 33” Thanks, Dave.

    Best Coyote?

    Still just kicking it around but it’s a good distraction from other 💩 going on. If I were to find a gen 2 coyote with 6R80, what is required for the install? Not looking for an installation manual but some basics would be helpful. I’m guessing motor mounts are available. How much body lift...

    Best Coyote?

    Years ago I scored a real nice 94 wrecked Mustang 5.0 HO that I installed in my 1983 FSB with a ZF 5 speed. I cleaned up the harness and used the emissions equipment so it would pass the Colorado inspections, Came out great and ran beautifully. I got a 3 part article published in Bronco...

    Best Coyote?

    Just pondering for now. I started the project too long ago with a 5.0 engine and transmission out of a 1998 explorer. Made good progress until life events put it on hold. What’s the latest in getting a control system for that setup or has anyone figured out how to reprogram them to be a bit...

    Best Coyote?

    Been a long time since I’ve been active in the Tech section. Anyone that has read my activity in Off Topic knows that the doctors have made made my retirement plans challenging. Still considering either selling or continuing my project. Just for yucks, what is the best coyote configuration...

    Need advice on some life decisions

    Been watching the BaT auctions. https://bringatrailer.com/ford/bronco-u13-u14-u15-1966-1977/ Amazing what they are paying. In the past, it seemed that the value in was in maintaining originality. Now the premium seems to be with modified rebuilds.

    EB frame restore recommendation

    Agree with Bill on Paint Over Rust - 15 on clean steel. I used this Eastwood product years ago and happy with the results. Applied it over media blasted and an epoxy primer. More recently I’ll been using PPG industrial products on outdoor railings with good results. This railing is 3...

    Need advice on some life decisions

    I feel the same. Will never get rid of tools but being realistic, time is the factor. Right now I’m considering liquidating 2 passions to pursue others. The bronco and I own 2 of 26 Airstream classic diesel pusher motorhomes. I bought my first Bronco, a 73 sport, when it was 8 years old...

    Need advice on some life decisions

    Kind of a swap here. Money and indoor storage for a new boat. I’ve always bought used toys and resurrected and maintained them. My brother and I are lusting after a brand new boat for our retirement. Both of us are to painful to crawl under greasy vehicles.

    Need advice on some life decisions

    Most of my activity has been on the off topic forum for the past few years. My 70 Sport has been tucked away inside for about 20 years now. Some of you have followed my project. A major house remodel, career change, some major health setbacks, moving back home to care for my folks, more...

    I6 question?

    In his case he’s not looking for roaring performance. He’s just an inline 6 fan and likes low RPMs with smooth torque to idle along on the trails. We both learned to drive in dad’s 56 Dodge pickup with the Flathead 6. Which, BTW, he wrecked so dad used the engine in the snowblower. We are...

    I6 question?

    I think he should rebuild the 302 and C4. He asked if I knew what was involved in a I6 conversion. Said I’d ask the experts. I thought there were some similarities with the F100. But they are probably as rare and sought after as the EB. Thanks for the replies.

    I6 question?

    He looking for stock ford. As drop in as possible.

    I6 question?

    My brother wants to convert the 73 Sport I gave him many years ago to an I6. Without doing a bunch of searching and research, what’s the best donor to look for an engine with C4 combo. Presently it’s 302 with C4. Both bad.
