Curious: Why did you decide to axe the Snpier?

Curious: Why did you decide to axe the Snpier?

Well, I stumbled on a Pro-flo 4 for a good price, my intake had some coolant runner degrading, I was planning on running a HEI and not controlling spark. Also kept hearing stories of RFI and other issues with running sniper on SBF's.

Did some planning, removed all old body mounts and installed WH 1” body lift/mounts.

Sawzall + large pry bar + lots of ugga duggas

I’m spent, also removed the stock front shock mounts.

Didn’t make it back out to the shop today, but removed the intake off my 5.0 and put on the

Edelbrock Pro-Flo, not sure if that breather will work with a 1” body lift…

Nice. Are you going to be running a heater? Is there a boss on the intake for the heater hose fitting?

@DirtDonk I plan to, I think there is a boss there under that fuel line crossover?

Yeah paint will stay as is, at least for this phase.

It's a Holley product, dual breather 64280

I have no idea if it will fit my 5.0 with Pro Flo and 1" body lift.

one way to find out

 

[Ether]

I know I need to get to work!

Test fit of the rear 3.5 WH springs, and test install of the SSBC D30 Disc conversion I picked up a while back.

Not 100% sure on caliper orientation but couldn’t get them to clear any other way. Still had to massage the caliper and knuckle with a grinder as pictured.

Can you swap calipers left to right?
Gonna be tough bleeding them with bleeders lower than pistons.

 

[Ether]

Turns out I had them clocked incorrectly, they go at almost 3 oclock and swap to the other side.

But….packed the bronco up to bring her home and the wheels don’t clear. Removed calipers for now, I’ll have to figure that out.

Decided to slap the axles under it and bring it home. I’ve been renting this shop space for almost 2 yrs but progress has been slow. Packing it up and bringing it into my garage to hopefully get it back on the road sooner than later! Out of sight, out of mind.

As it sits: no engine/trans, 3.5” WH leaf pack, mystery progressive coils, stock radius arms.
