Brown truck dropped off a few boxes from Wild Horses. 31 spline axles, Truetrac, ring and pinion, 3rd member kit.

I do similar. I type in classicbroncos.com hood latch install and it will show stuff from here first then others.

From the information I've gleaned from this thread, this seems to be the way to go. "Close" is good enough for me. I was worried that the difference was going to be hateful and wanted to rectify it while I had everything apart. I have some time to make an engine decision, but now I'm intrigued...

Yeah, longer stroke gives more torque as well as more displacement. The owner of the machine shop I was going to take my 302 to suggested a 351 or stroking my 302 when I told him it was for a Bronco, so I was wondering if you were kinda doing the same.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you referring to replacing the rotating assembly in my 302?

Y'all have me scrolling through marketplace looking for a 94-97 351

WV hills, 2 lane highways, backroads, occasional interstate. I should have mentioned that

I get it. That's where I'm at.

A couple of years ago I completely rebuilt the front axle. New Seals, bearings, races, axles, etc. and regeared from 3.50 to 4.10 while at it.

Well shoot! I missed it again this year. Had a blast a couple of years ago. Hoping to make it a yearly vacay, OCBR and yak fishing on the Little Red

It's a Kincer frame. It was around $4K before tax.

Made some stands to put my frame on for prepping and painting.

Yeah, I used it on some parts and my Dana 44 using a brush. It leveled out pretty good. I figured on using a roller and brushes but considered getting a couple of the cheap HPLV guns from HF and, like you said, pitch them after each coat. Considering that I would have to spray outside, I figure...

Ordered KBS epoxy. I think this will keep things flexible for the future and considering the closest powdercoating shop is over an hour away, it will be more convenient and less expensive. I was quoted $600-$800 for powdercoating. That usually means I'll be charged closer or more than the higher...

Picked up an aftermarket frame for my build. It's going to be on the nicer end of a DD, not a garage queen. The question is...powder coat or prime then implement paint? I was going to have it powder coated but got to thinking that any scuffs or scratches from assembly I could touch up with...
