super engine??

[sreaminbronco]

Hey im about to drop a 475hp with 530ftlbs. of torque engine into my stock 92' bronco is there anything that i should upgrade because its such a big jump?

 

[bluesman17]

Might want to take a look at the tranny and see if it can handle it, the early e4od had some trouble and thats a significant jump in power especially if its older.

It probably won't be long before you start snapping axles. You will probably need to go to a Dana 60.

Good luck,

either a d60 rear or sterling 10.25. with 475 hp, you are going to be blowing up everything from axles to driveshafts to your tranny. plan on some MAJOR drivtrain upgrades

 

[TX_BEAST]

well upgrading drivetrain is only needed if you plan on using all 475 hp.

It is still my openion, that it is a waste of a good performance engine to anchor it down with a 5000 lb. brick /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just love driving my Bronco and could care less if it gets passed by a Mitsubishi Moskeeto /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> . It's like the difference between a football Center and a track runner 0 .

Well I didnt plan on using it on the street its for bogg racing or baja. I want to make it a show truck but with gas the way it is im fixing to sell it.

 

[ocalabronco]

street, bogging, baja, whatever. your still gonna give new meaning to the term grenading your drivetrain. if its not going to be your DD, whats the concern with gas? if money's tight, just put the project on hold

Things breaking violently is always fun! /

[killerbronco666]

you have more hp but ill take you when it breaks

 

[ocalabronco]

such depth in the responses. i'm thoroughly impressed

 

[brian_n_texas]

I would say that when you upgrade to a performance engine like the one you describe that you need to upgrade the brakes, drive train, transmission, exhaust (you won't get that HP rating without a good dual exhaust), cooling system and tires according to how you use the vehicle. You can drive it 'till something breaks (which WILL happen with that HP), or you can upgrade to try and prevent some things from breaking.
