Project Kona Blue

[underdog]

Good day to you. I have a 1989 Ford Bronco 5.0 XLT 4x4. I have owned this rig about 6yrs and previous 1st owner was my grandfather. I am stationed in Japan currently finishing my 3yr tour. I am from Florida, born and raised. I am moving to California for my next duty station. I have invested over $5,000 into my ride in the past year and a half to include parts for long awaited restoration. Now the Bronco has been painted and is still being tweeked, but i am going on leave in 6days and me and my wife will be seeing my Bronco for the first time since its paint job. Next on the list is the interior. I will be customizing the interior starting in February after I transfer from Japan. Then around May I will be installing the BDS 6inch suspension kit and mounting 35inch tires to boot. Next Christmas I hope to have narrowed the drivetrain components down, to replace. That is where I will need your help in accomplishing the tideous overlook on my part. I want to upgrade to a 351W motor, and prefer a stroker assembly but with a good desire to increase fuel mileage, not decrease. I thank you for looking at my thread. Basically in a nutshell these are my goals entirely.
