    1966 A code engine: 240?

    First of all I apologize if this has been talked about. After an hour of searching I thought I was would just post it. I was browsing http://www.broncohio.com/tech/ebvins.html and for 1966 only they have the two availible engines listed as 170 and 240? Is this just a typo? I have seriously...

    Best front and rear end starting from scratch

    Fab skills no problem. I'm new to broncos but restoring cars is nothing news to me. That is a new one to me. So early dodges had a dana 44 front end as well?

    Best front and rear end starting from scratch

    I should add i don't really want to use what I have because i have the potential to have two different broncos if I don't use it.

    Best front and rear end starting from scratch

    I recently acquired two bronco projects that came as one lot. One is a 69 that is as rusty as they get. I don't think most people would consider it restorable but hey it has the title with a VIN. With that came another frame with the title, and most all the parts to put it together another...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    My 150 horsepower was my estimate from the manufactors high numbers divided by 2. For example the TDI performance computer advertises 20-30 hp gains. I estimated for 15 hp. I never belive all their claims. Otherwise the gas saving tornado would save the world from an energy crisis (lots of...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    Without getting too much into it biodiesel on this thread TDI's do well with bidoesel, as long as you change some gaskets in the fuel pump. With straight Veggie oil it requires some modifications to heating the oil before it hits the injectors. I was reading some other replies about a...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    Sorry forgot link for the 4 runner tdi project. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=158587 Thanks for the well wishes. I'm thinking swap into an old 4runner might be the way to go for now. If all goes well when I get tired of driving it a few years and ready for more projects swap...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    I think I've irrated the traditional bronco forum folks to no end. In which case sorry about that I really do respect and love everything about the class broncos which is why I'm here instead of the toyota forums looking for a 4 runenr swap. But for anyone that is still interested in this...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    I probably should clear up my drag coefficient claim. A prius is rate at .26 drag coefficient. A flat nose van is rated around .40. An SUV is around .30-.35. I just estimated a bronco and jetta somewhere in between. I relize any % number is a little misleading, becaause even 1% makes a huge...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    Samuri's are around 2200 lbs bone stock soft top. Very few people keep them bone stock. To make them even touch off pavement, you need to at least add 800 lbs in upgrades, IMO. Which by that time your only 800 lbs less than a bronco and still less capable. Wind resistance is a factor as...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    In theory I'd much rather have a loud V-8 to play with. but if I had that I couldn't justify it at all. I actually make my own biodiesel so that's why I look at the diesel option. I have a big dodge cummins for big truck fun. But need to use a little less diesel to my source of cooking I...

    VW TDI swap in a bronco????

    Hello bronco forum! I'm a brand spanking newbie and come right out of the chute asking a question like this. I see a lot of you swap the cummins 6b and 4b.........That would be nice, but I also think 40 mpg from a vw TDI would be cool too. I know where I can get a parts jetta tdi for cheap...
