1969 Bronco Project K.I.S.S build/update thread

Hey, if it fits, it’s a winnah!
And, as we’ve found out from watching Engine Masters, a hard 90 at the inlet doesn’t effect power anywhere in the range.

Even if it does kill a couple HP at the top, not worried about it in this build. Glad I could package it all in there.

Nice part about going DBW is that I can control the pedal vs blade opening ramp with the Term X, this should make the technical spots on the trails a little easier to deal with.

Exhaust is done, used band clamps at the mufflers just in case I want to try a few different options. Running Dynamax ultra flows now, for as short of a system they actually are not crazy loud. Can easily have a conversation in the Bronco at idle and cruise.

I have some Flow master super 40's I may try to see how they sound.

Took it for a little drive last night to do some data logging and tuning, she's a beast, very strong runner..

Completely discreet duals? Or is there a crossover, or connection between the two banks anywhere?
The super 40s probably sound really good. But I’m guessing they are going to be pretty loud in a Bronco also.
Then again, I think those were what a friend of mine used in his bronco build, and they simply sounded great. Not too loud, not too quiet.

Are they part of that series of Flowmaster’s that are supposed to reduce drone?
I forget what the designation is, but I’m pretty sure that whether my friends were 40s, or 50s, they were the anti-drone version.

No Crossover, I agree the Super 40's probably will be more aggressive.maybe save those for dune trips!

Here is the difference at idle, Flowmasters are definitely a little louder but no drone issues, can easily have a conversation while cruising with either. Both get loud on Accel.

Drove it to my shop today to work on building an anti-wrap bar. Had another client's 66 in for some carb work so I figured they needed to park together.

Been driving this and working on the tune, have about 500 miles on it now and loving it.

I am only about 45 minutes from Silver Lake Sand Dunes so I made a quick trip there Sunday afternoon when the dunes were pretty quiet to do a little testing. I think some paddles would be fun!
