77 Bronco Rebuild with 429

[Scoop]

Sounds more like a 78-79, or did someone transplant a drivetrain?

This. My bet is OP has a big Bronco 78 or 79.

I hope it's a big Bronco. The 385 series engine is a big mutha. Huge compared to a Windsor and a lot heavier, too. If you need/want a big block, go with a stroked Windsor. If that's not enough, try an FE -- it's still a big block but smaller and lighter than the 385 series 429/460's.

You can get a 385 series to about the same as a stock iron 302 if you want. Mine weighs in at 504lbs minus carb, dizzy (I have cam sensor), water pump (Lightweight ext Mezier) and alternator. Maybe I'll weigh everything again someday, but I'll be surprised if it hits 530lbs with accessories.
