TPTFPS68 · May 22, 2005

Hey guys,
I sprayed bedliner in the bronco thursday night, painted the wheels friday night, built front and rear bumpers, painted and hung them Sat., took it to a car show today and won 1st in the 4x4 class! I thrash best under pressure!

Why do your headers hang way down under it? I would drag them off on the first trip into the woods.

Maybe something to do with shoehorning a 460 into it......

Good job TPTFPS68, looks good.

Congrats. Looks great. What other types of 4x4 were entered? Did you whip any J@@ps?

Yes congats too... looks nice

no Jeeps, but there was a nice Toy pickup with a chev v8 drivetrain.

Good thing it's an open bed rig, you'll need all that space for trophies. Another inspiration for the rest of us

Very nice looking Bronco. But it looks like you need some hood shocks on her.

Very nice and congratultions

was that the show in columbia? i was really thinking about going to it. a friend of mine was showing his truck, not in the 4x4 class. 2 wheel. wish i went! :'(

TPTFPS68 · May 22, 2005

no, it was in Mexico. Moose lodge puts it on every year, to raise money for the relay for life cancer drive.

TPTFPS68 · May 22, 2005

If I had hood shocks, I don't think I could reach the hood to shut it with out a step!

broncomanbrad · May 22, 2005

You could always close it from the side closer to the windshield.

That's an awesome halfcab, why don't you bring it up to St Louis for the big Cobblestone National Car Show Memorial day weekend, I'm thinking about entering my bronco and would be nice to have some EB company

TPTFPS68 · May 22, 2005

Thanks alot. I think we are going camping this memorial day weekend. But thanks for the invite!

Great job ! Congrats on the trophy but how about some more pics of under the hood and a little more info.

TPTFPS68 · May 23, 2005

I'll get some more pics under the hood soon. I think I've got one more now. Whatdo you want to know( more info.)?

SaddleUp · May 24, 2005

What all did you have to do to make the 460 fit under the hood. Steering? Inner fenders? firewall, etc.

TPTFPS68 · May 24, 2005

A 2" body lift is mandatory. I moved a portion of the firewall back 2". Front crossmember had to be moved foreward and down. steering unchanged. inner fenders were modified for fenderwell headers( handmade). exhaust and front driveshaft was the biggest hurdle. Still struggling with temp. problems. I saw on a thread yesterday that a guy was going to use a manometer to figure out whether he has a problem getting air in, or air out of the engine compartment. What a great idea!
