Build Thread 1968 (Update 02/01/10) New tranny etc.

[Ohio Bronco 21]

I got my new to me engine. 302 with 351 heads. I did some work on it and cleaned it up (not that it really needed it). I also installed my new centerline clutch, It will soon go into the 68 with the NV3550.

Engines installed and running, interior is in, most stuff is working. still have to bleed the Brakes (new disc set up) some smaller stuff and an exhaust and I should be on the road.

OK, I have had her out running down the side street. I still need an exhaust so it is a bit loud. here are some new pics.

Job well done even if it's cut!%)

>>>>> I see a engine issue that needs correcting immediately..... it's good your using the PCV valve on the passenger side, but it's a very bad thing for your engine seals to have that driver side valve cover sealed up with that oil fill cap....... you need to run a 5/8" hose to the air cleaner like stock, put a direct mount breather or do a remote breather set up.... I prefer a remote breather with a 5/8" hose going to the valve cover 'cause it keeps both new & older engines the cleanest........

Hopefully I can find a cap that fits the tall oil fill tube on these valve covers. I had thought about doing what you said but had since forgotten about it. Thanks Where did you get your fill caps that fit your valve covers?

I got it from a place that sells them on EBAY, they are out of PA. I contacted them directly through Ebay, cant remember the name however. I plan on putting a stinger styl Brush Guard on it eventually.

Jeff, I got the engine from some old Bronco Hermit that lived in the wilds of Fairview inside his old 66 U13.
I do plan on having an uncut also, Small lift and 30 inch tires, Fuel injected 6 from a yet to be spoken of source vehicle. Mallard or Boxwood green with a whimbelton white top and grille, stockish interior etc.

I had an exhaust hooked up. I ran two pipes into a y and back along the transmission passenger side to a simple turbo muffler. I then had it exit the passenger side just in front of the passenger side tire. Sounds really good, Loud if I stomp on it but mostly just purrs along. All the interior sound deadner really makes a difference inside too.
I need to drive her some to get everything dialed in now. COOL.

Thought I would update this thread. I installed a steel half Cab Top for the weather. Here is how she is now.
