I keep hearing about this Bronco budget thing can someone explain what that is Tony can't wait for some feed back on the motor. My Bronco Queen wants me to buy new instead of rebuilding. Thing of going the same as yours.

Bronco Budget (as defined by Tony N): The amount of money available to spend on an early Ford Bronco, after paying the mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, food, beer, non-bronco related entertainment bills, and making contributions to the 401K/IRA/savings accts, without pulling cash back out of savings or going into debt...

Brian, if your Bronco Queen wants you to buy new, for $2550 to your door I don't think you'll go too wrong. 70EB (as he's known here and on NCB, he's wcdeod or something like that on BFix) did my exact swap a while back in his and is happy with the performance - he's since injected his and from what I've read he's even happier with it now.

The only problems I've encountered have been related to the fact that the engine uses a duraspark ignition/dizzy, so I had to figure out how to make that work, along with figuring out which brackets fit. The Econoline brackets are tight on the driver's side but a little griding makes them work. I've brought the radiator issues upon myself by going with a universal radiator, but otherwise it seems to be fairly straightforward.

I plan on writing up a document on everything I've done to make this swap work and I'll post it up once its complete.

Ya she is a Woman so she is alwas right ( So I let her think LOL). No matter what way I go, Buy new or rebuild it will be Injected. I have 99% of the parts sitting on a shelf just need a motor will most likey do it next year. Maybe I should start thing about selling the complete 351 I have for the rebuild.
one last thing Tony is your motor a roller motor?

The block is roller cam compatible, but it ships with a "high torque" flat tappet cam installed. I'll probably swap it out one day but I want to put some miles on it first. Heck I may like it just the way it is.

database transfer is complete. Still waiting to get forum back up and running. Those who have the ability to log in to the Globat control panel, please refrain from doing so. I think we were logged into when the transfer was taking place and this may have created an issue. I will keep you all in the loop.

 

[trailbound]

woo hoo, wont be long now boys.

work'n on a deal to get some 38.5's

 

[kwspony]

Nor-Cal-Bronco Site

Yes Thanks Carl

 

[Delta4WheelDrive]

I am annoyed. I am having to deal with people that are helping us via email. I get an email, return it and it is a day before I get a response...I sure hope all of t his helps our issues because changing hosting companies may be worse I am afraid.

 

[Bronco Brian]

Well lets all of us keep a stiff upper lip

 

[BRONKEN]

Thanks Carl for all your hard work, we are all a little excited awaiting the new site................I guess this helps teach us a little patience ;D

 

[Bronco Brian]

Any new news

 

[admin]

I don't know the specifics of the issues Carl is facing, but I can definitely feel his pain. Making major server changes is no fun. It always takes 4 times what you estimated, and that's only if you had already doubled your original estimate.

Good luck wrapping up what's left. Hope it's back soon.

 

[BRONKEN]

I know it's worth the wait ;D
