I orderd a 92 Bronco from the factory in Nov of 91, it has Limited Slip in front and rear with 3.55 gears.

Well, maybe I am remembering wrong. Maybe I read that none came with
true locking (non-LSD) front differentials. For that matter, anyone
know when the last time a manufacturer put a true locking rear end on a
factory vehicle?

I've checked Edelbrock. They have a complete "system" for 5.0 Trucks,
with a manifold that is supposed to help low and midrange torque,
throttle bodies, water pump, heads, etc. But they don't have a specific
cam for this package. They do have one for 5.0 Mustangs, but that one
probably builds power where the short-stroke wants to make it--high
RPM. Probably not well suited to a truck application.

Does anyone have any experience with any of the Edelbrock 5.0 Truck
performance package parts?

I wonder how the Edelbrock heads compare to the GT40 heads. The stock
heads have a reputation for being restrictive, as was shown in that
"Bolt-on Power" article that I referred to earlier. The GT40 really
unloaded some horsepower and torque from the 5.0. I wonder if the
Edelbrock unit is as good. I've noticed that some of you use the GT40
intake as well. Anyone out there ever compare these units? Any inputs?

Matthew,

When you bled the brakes, did you use a one-man bleeder? If you did,
try it the old-fashioned way, with two people.
