Hi. I am currently on my second deployment to Iraq, saving all the money I can to bring my 66 Bronco back to life and my daily driver back at Fort Hood/Fort Bragg. I have a good chunk of cash to spend, and want to do things right. I plan on using it mostly on the highway, with some camping/mild off roading thrown in every once in awhile. I want to put in a 302 V8, fuel injected, with a 5 on the floor. So far my research on crate engines and trannies have led me to wanting an NV 3550, paired with a crate engine, something like this.. http://www.tuffdawgengines.com/ford_302_360hp_efi.htm
(Please inform if this engine is way off, or what a better crate option would be)
I know this is the tip of the iceberg, and a topic that has been discussed several times, but just wanted to get the opinions of the experts on what I should be looking and shopping for while I'm here. I have a few pictures of the Bronco in its current state, and will attach them as soon as I figure out how. (Rookie to this like I said). Thank you all in advance, this is the only thing I think about between missions here, and can't wait to get back and get started.
