Yo,

There are quite a few engine rebuild manuals available.. http://www.mre-books.com/engine/rebuilding.html

Check out..

How to Rebuild the Small Block Ford

by George Reid

Stop at local library .. they usually have such books.

Ford factory service manuals are good! Google ...

89 ford bronco shop manual

Also available able on cd.. but ensure it will load on your computer operating system (WIN 8.0 or Windows xp, or apple, etc.)

http://www.ebay.com/bhp/ford-bronco-manual

Same for transmission

Automatic Transmission Service Group (ATSG) has very good manuals...

I want to build a 347 stroker but i want to save money...so is it possible I can just buy a stroker crank instead of the kit and do just fine? The kits are expensive and I dont see anything that I would need that I cant re manufacture or reuse. I just need to know if a crankshaft is all I really need to make a good stroker. Other than rebuilding everything else and re machining it

That is a question better asked of the supplier.  They don't put the parts in for no reason at all.  I'm sure they can explain it to you.

Yo,

As Fred advised.

This is what I have saved in my archived site, "

I started with a 90s 5.0 ** block had my local machinist Bore it 30 over, Decked, aligne honed, and the bore was molley honed.I had to notche the bottom of the cylinder walls to make clearence for the rods. PAW offers a 347 Stroker kit and I upgraded the kit to forged, steel, ballanced, Crankshaft, pistons and rods. One problem was that I had the assembly ballence for the later 50oz counter weight, this made a bit of a problem to find Proper flex plate. Bolt on parts list as:

GT40 aluminum heads (M-6049-y303), E303 roller cam, Weiand Stealth

4bbl manifold, Holley 500cfm marine carb

Tuned shorty headers

2 3/4" dual exaust with high preformance Cats, Flow master mufflers and crossover pipe. Modifyed from a mustang.

Drivetrain: Tranny is G on the plate(automatic), axel is 16 on the plate(ford/3750/3.50). I have a new C6 and rebuilt the front and rear axels and steering componets. The front axle is a Dana 44, and the rear is a Ford 9". I'm going to keep them orginal since my wife is going to be driving it and I don't want her to roll it over becuase it's lifted. Might install a locker kit but that's way down the road, gotta get it running first.

Notes: My wife's uncle David bought it new in 1978, and drove it until he stoped driveing a few years ago. He gave it to my wife who gave it to me. It's extreemly straight, paint job is orginal and in very good shape, interior is in excelent shape except for the drives seat and the fake crome trim which is peeling. It's a giant paper weight in my garage at the moment.
