Ok, way back in the late 90s you could still order a new 351W from Ford Motorsports. I remember a note that it had an extra heavy truck flywheel on it. I'm mentally building a small block for a boat, picking what collection of parts I would love to gather for it. It would be a pleasure boat...

I picked up a used Strange 9". 4.56 gear, air locker. 1350 yoke. This has passed through a few hands and I don't have a build sheet. At some point the U-joint broke and the yoke is messed up. I got it off and it is a normal 28 spline pinion. Shopping for a replacement and it looks like it...

I've been using Speedway Motors for decades. Recently I just had a great customer service experience. Needed a couple of things and ended up ordering them through Speedway. Did the standard shipping, wasn't in any rush. FedEx was a day late dropping it off. Speedway has guaranteed shipping...

Just found this one. If you want to run a Duraspark distributor, but the large cap gives clearance issues. I know it did for my getting into the air filter. And you like the male distributor posts. That is what comes with the motorsports plug wires. I'm fairly sure this will even work with...

I've known about this for well over 30 years. This is the first time I have seen the story presented. What a story it is. Bronco could have had a 427 SOHC, but instead it had a 289. As you watch, look in the background and all the little details that are not even mentioned. There are...

One of those self recovery tools. A lot of people have those little lithium jump start packs. We got a bunch at work to replace the old lead acid jump packs. They are a lot lighter. But the failure rate of the lithium is way higher than the old lead acid. They don't last. They really like...

Little late for me to be starting the yearly SEMA thread. Today was the first day of the show. I have really heard nothing of what is going on. This is the first time I was in the country but did not make the show in 2 decades. Between vehicle projects and have other stuff going on at the...

So a few years ago I did a Holley Sniper. One of the reasons I picked it was the timing control it offered. Of course Holley wants to sell you a brand new distributor to take advantage of that feature. Look inside, looks just like a Duraspark pickup coil. Why spend the extra money? So I...

I have a Koenig winch and PTO for a Dana 20. It is a bit rough but everything turns over and feels like it should. The key pieces are the winch and PTO for the Dana 20. Both will need to be cleaned up and given a little love but should work fine. There are pieces of what was a shifter, going...

Back in the mid 80's I remember seeing the worlds first jet engine powered mud racers. It was before I was really into Broncos. But I did remember it and I always thought it was a Bronco. But I could never find anything in searches. Until now. I present you the Silver Eagle. Today I was...

I recently picked up an early original small block ford and was looking it over. The crank pulley looks extra small. Single groove cast iron 3-bolt pulley. But it is only 5" OD. I'm thinking that is smaller than normal. Another oddity, I have never seen a 2-barrel ALUMINUM intake. Cast...

Another post got me thinking about this. The normal production full floating axle has a forged in flange with a lot of little bolts. This is normal. My F250 was this way. Even semi trucks are this way. But the aftermarket has drive slugs. Which looks like a blanked out lockout for a front...

I've seen counterbalanced tailgates for about 15 years now. At least from the OEMs. And there are some janky aftermarket versions. Today while bumming around I saw something that caught my eye. A ford service part. The piston driving the counterbalance hides in the bedside. The factory...

So I am getting my dose of new product info poured at me. Not sure if it is from SEMA registration or Black Friday. Either way this came my way...

FYI... I was talking with AA at SEMA. They are still building the Atlas. They have a lot of orders. But if you order now (this is early November) you won't get it until March. That is how far out the build schedule is right now. If you are thinking of ordering one, better plan ahead to...

Just got back. I think I counted 8 early Broncos this year. Didn't go everywhere. 3 in the Baja section. Big Oly Galpin 69-70 original race truck Galpin shiny new build, I think the one that has been around for nearly a decade based on a '66. In other places I remember a couple more...

Motorweek this weekend they highlighted Todd's Bronco book. Nice to see the mention in mass market. One of these days I'll get a signed copy. Was hoping to catch Todd at the Stampede this year, missed that. And the annual trip to SEMA, that is out as well.

So I am doing a little research on good lighting and for that I have to look at the Rigid Industries website. While digging around I find a set of lights designed to attach to a cage. So who is getting a set? https://www.rigidindustries.com/reflect-pair-64011.html

My old 60A 1G has been good. But this past summer I noticed it doesn't want to keep up at idle. It was OK before, but the added EFI and idle output drops off. Bumping idle speed a little won't quite cover it. At night with the lights and A/C running is just a little too much. I can do light...
