Bought another Bronco

[Justshootme84]

It looks like I'll be getting one more Bronco from a friend of mine that I visited with tonight. he has an 85 Bronco, freshly rebuilt 300-I6, 4-sp manual, new paint, etc. May make this into a hunting rig, but it also out tows my 84. Also sold my 85 Chevy K10 to another dude. One more CHevy left to sell!

prerunner does sound good! i'm just not sure if they make the prerunner body kit for the full size, i know they make it for the ranger? >

Not a bad idea!!! I know that AutoFab makes pre-runner fenders for the 92-96 body style Bronco.

Right now, I'm using my 98 Chevy to pull a 15,000 pound fertilizer nurse tank on the farm. The 85 Bronco with that little ole 300-I6 can pull that same tank, in the mud. :^o No LIE!!!

I got the title tonight, it's actually an 86 Custom model. Transmission code is "A", rear axle is "H9" (Ford 8.8", 3.55 gears w/ L/S). Tires are shot, but I have a set of 33's to put on her. Need a new tailgate and some bodywork, but mechanically she runs like a top!!! Interior is nice!!!

I'm open to any suggestions on this one, since I have an 88 Bronco body that I can swap with. I really would like to put a 500+Hp 351C in my 84 Bronco to race with, put the 351W H.O. and 88 body into this 86, and still have a spare 302 V8 and C6 on hand. I kinda like the 300 I6.. :-"

Blade262US, thanks for posting that!!! After reading some of your posts about the 302 motor, I might sell the 300 I6 and build up the 88 302. What do you think about a stroker kit for the 302, mated to the T-18 manual? Do I need a stronger tranny and t-case for that much HP? What are you running with your set-up?

 

[Justshootme84]

I took a couple of pics today:

I ID'ed the t-case as a NP208, but didn't see a tag on the tranny. The shift pattern is:

1 3

2 4 R

Hey Justshootme84 looks like youve got a good start to another project there . I actually have all 351W,s now in all my trucks except my bronco2 I had to pull the 351w I had in there out because of exhaust issues so I built a 1986 302 ** out of a lincoln sport coupe and put that in there but it has aluminum motorsport heads and all the goodies . I would suggest that if your going to build a 302 that you find an older one for the bottom end the cranks in tha early 70,s motors are way heavier and in my opinion more suited for a truck and then use the heads off an 86 ** if you can find some . I will post pics of the differences in the combustion chambers so you can see what Im talking about . I wouldnt use anything other than a 351W in a truck anymore if I had to build another one . There not much bigger than a 302 physically and parts are no more money to rebuild them and they produce more torque . I am however putting a 351C in a 1999 ranger quad cab just to see If I can get it in there that should be fun maybe Ill post some pics if anyones interested . A C6 and the borg and warner T case will hold up to that motor just fine its a very good T case and a C6 is very strong you could use an E4OD after 95 because it has all the updates and then buy a stand alone conmtroller from baumann engineering but its alot of wires but its really cool once its done you have complete controll over the tranny . But if you want a 302 then I would definately get an early 70,s and build that . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

A stroked 302 is nice I think I've seen a 347stroker kit out there but why not step up and stroke a 351 to 392 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
