No. The front hoops are bloody knuckle garage. The rear ones were made by Migs here on the forums. He also made the heavy duty coil cups and the steering stabilizer frame bracket.

So with the hydroboost. I had a custom show stage 3 hydratech kit made. I went to install yesterday and they had shipped me the wrong one. It was made for a guy down in Florida. So now the waiting game continues.

So yours went to Florida....... I'm gonna go check my front porch to see if UPS left something for me....;D

Looking good Adam!!!!

Cobra - looking good! The hydroboost will drop right into the same place so won't have to change any lines at all. I'm happy about that. I was producing 4lbs of vacuum at idle, so vacuum booster was just not gonna cut it. So be thinking about that as you choose your cam. If you go too extreme like I did, you will run into problems.
That's awesome. I was kinda disappointed to find out that the stainless lines I ordered weren't gonna work with the Wilwood MC but that changed once I saw the braided lines hooked up. Will definitely consider it. Already learned that lesson when I put a 383 with a huge cam in my Silverado. Brake booster wasn't too happy with it. Hopefully picking up some ported Edelbrock Performer heads for my new motor this weekend.

few more updates....

hydroboost installed...HOLY COW!....for the first time ever i actually can stop my bronco!

had to install the fox shocks upside down upfront due to how the reservoir connects into the main shock housing...it had clearance issues...other than looking a little funny, its rides great...very happy with them

I think you could mount the reservoir to the shock hoop instead of the shock body

Still wouldn't fit. The issue is with where the fitting is mounted on the shock body. It either has to go straight forward or back which won't work. Need it to go left to right. Don't know if that makes sense, but yea, I have to mount it upside down. Fox said its perfectly fine to do it, I just prefer the look of it mounted right side up.

Plus the tubing is sitting right above the radius arm so it's protected.

Been to a few shows the last few weeks. Here's a quick shot of the bronco and my dads 64 1/2 mustang.

And I went to a cars and coffee with a buddy who took his Ferrari.

What's the deal with the new engine? Changing from a 347?

installing the holley sniper this weekend...so far so good...got the 670 holley removed, sniper in place, all plumbing routed, linkages in place, thermostat in and wired, o2 sensor in and wired, vacuum lines connected...now i just need to hook up the main sniper harness

i knew this day would come, so already had a holley billet fuel pump, 10 post and 100 pre filter with braided lines and AN fittings...so didn't take too long to hook new system in

here are a few pics...so far its taken about an hour and a half

Looking good. How did you route your harnesses for the sniper? I just started my install and trying to figure out where to run wires. The connectors on 12" pigtails from the throttle body makes it a little challenging to keep it clean.
