Duffy's 77 Build Thread- Restomod, daily, re-uncut

[POPPAWS BRONCO]

Thanks I'll chew on those thoughts awhile. The closer I get to start this thing up, the further away I get.

Mine goes through a charcoal canister and then into the air intake before the MAF.

This way, it is metered as intended.

What charcoal canister did you use? I haven't found one that I like yet.

Many are using the mustang canisters like this

As of right now, it is what I am planning to use on my build when I get to thar point. ;D

I need to find out the size, my vent hose is very small.

I got the 5.0 married to the 4r70w. It actually was pretty difficult by myself, I used a combo of bolts, jacks and the engine hoist. I had to cut a tab off the 4r70w to clear the BC broncos headers. I believe someday it will run again

I broke the stock dip stick for the 5.0 and I had some amazon gift cards, I splurged and bought the lokar locking dip stick. Wow is it fancy!

This is what I used but got it out of the junk yard. Got the little electric switch with it so I can wire it into the computer someday.

I got the heater intake all dialed. This project sucked. I used chemicals to strip off the old green paint. The stripper burned my arms and my hands, nasty stuff! I then drilled the rivets, had the steel plate powder coated, painted the plastic and put new stainless rivets on.

Here is the front shock- FOX-985-24-084. For some reason the rears won't be here till monday! My measurement puts it at 21" extended, which matches the 21" or so it should be. I had to press out a jeep attachment for the bottom, which you can see in the picture. I then got a 5/8-1/2 steel bushing and a 1/2 inch by 2-1/2" long grade 8 bolt and washer and lock nut.

Here are the rear shocks. FOX 980-24-645. I had to remove the pin. Which ruined the bushing. Good thing they are cheap.

I had to buy new 5/8- 1.5" and got the new 5/8- 1/2 steel bushing.

Here is the exhaust hanger for my stainless 2-1 BC Bronco's exhaust. It comes with pretty rusty pieces, so I got a new stainless 3" exhaust clamp and a 90 Degree Wire Universal Exhaust Hanger - 3/8" 304 Stainless Steel (3" x 9" Long). Then painted part and powder coated the part that attaches to the frame. I also got all new stainless hardware. Gosh this stainless obsession is getting bad.

Fox 2.0 shocks are finished and ready to go in the stock locations

Very interested in how you like the ride quality. Great Job

Wilwood booster is done. I switched out all nuts for stainless.

 

[duffymahoney]

Here is the front shock installed. They fit great. I think I'm going 3.5" springs in the front. This is a 2.5" now.

Looking good. I like that Wilwood MC. Does it have line inlets on both sides?

Yep. It comes with plugs as well.

I got the painless wiring harness installed behind my dash. I saw on here that people did it out of the rig. Wow was that a great idea and saved me a ton of headache. I have a tuffy glove box and mounting the fuse panel turned out to be a pain. I used stainless cushion clamps for the loomed harness. The mesh split look is cool stuff. I re-used all stock plugs.

This project took forever. But it's done right.
