Yes it can be done but I can't find many who can help. This Bronco has been sitting in the weeds by my barn for 3 years. This year it's gonna go to the Moutian Mud Fest. EFI 460 w\C-6 married 205 and 10 inches of coilover lift sitting on 2 60's w\ detroits. Should go but any info would be great!
Thanks

We have built alot of rigs but my part is steering and suspention, also any wierd custom parts. My friend that is the engine guy has put a 454 in a toyota but he told me to find any info I could about the swap to make it clean. I saw a old man with a 66 Bronco that had a 429 blown there 2 years ago but never got a good look at it.
Any help would be good.

make your own motor mounts, move motor back about 12" to help distribute the excess weight, make your own exhaust. rebuild tunnel & firewall, figure out how to get the short rear drive line to work in a stock wheelbase, or move that 60 back to help you out. figure out some way to keep the motor cool, might want to go ahead and ditch the core support, since it wont flow enough air to the oversized radiator you'll need.
i have seen a few broncos in my day with big blocks in them. they are fast, sure but ill handling and nose heavy, & run hot. fun yea.
it's going to be allot of work, better get started now.
good luck and keep us posted on how it's progessing
be good

Thanks, thats the kind of stuff I want to hear. Maybe I'll make it to the MUD.COM again. Look for US there in a shortened 6-pack(red).
Thanks again!
