Back to being a bronco owner

[broncoeddie1970]

Hey guys,

So a year ago or so i sold my bronco and all the parts i had with it. Didn't think i was going to own another one but the bronco gods were on my side. I just picked up a nice 1970 uncut bronco. Since this is a bronco forum and thought i would ask a question. Anyone is TX owned a blue bronco and took out the original motor and replaced it with with a ford 1980 300 Inline 6? The previous owner got it that way. If so what car/truck did it came out of. I know this is a shot in the dark but again i never thought i would be a bronco owner and well here i am. I can tell you the truck was registered in Round Rock, TX.

Thanks

Welcome to the best site on the net.

I think Pa Pitt did a 300 in an eb. He's a Texan.

Look up Pa Pitt here on CB.

And again, welcome!

Are you in Texas as well? You may want to join the LEBC Google Groups mailing list and ask the question there. Here's how to join the list: LEBC Mailing List

The 300 is a great engine! A little tight in an EB but a good engine.

Thanks, Yes i am in San Antonio, TX and i've been part of the LEBC group for awhile. I posted a photo out there and no one has come back and claim it was there EB in the past. I just wanted to get some info on the car/truck it came out to see if i can get some power steering in it.

Thanks again.

Not bad looking congrats!

Are you sure it's a 300 and not a 200? Post a picture up if you can of the engine. I can see about uploading it here if you want to post it to the LEBC group.

Thanks Prizefighter. I will do that...

well i took the code from the enigne block and its a d8be 6015 ge which turns out to be a 1978 ford fairmount 200 motor. When i did a search on the motor code i found a old link here back in 2007 about the same code. So today i ordered my carb and well go from there. Thanks to all for your help.
