Getting ready to pull the engine. Developed a knock last trip to the dunes. can't complain, original engine with 100,000 miles. Probabally going to get a good rebuild or go with the new Ford Racing crate motor, 340 hp for $3500, can't rebuild mine for that.
Forgot to add, I'am new to the forum, but not to Broncos.
Bought the '77 I have now in 2001, put a 2'' lift and 31x11.50 MT Baja tires, Holley 4bbl and put in a T-5 from a Mustang cobra.
Has been 100% dependable. Body is deacent, needs rockers, and some patches in the floor. This is by the far the COOLEST
vehicle I haver owned.
Also have a '78 Bronco ranger xlt, runs low 14's. Mustang guys hate it, oh yeah it has a 460, working on converting it to efi.
had the '78 since 1992, was my first vehicle when I got my liscence. Can't think of a cooler truck for a 16 yo than a Bronco, can you?
Love the site, been lurking for a while, thought it was time to finally post.
