That's a pretty long life for a rotty. My last lived just past 10. She was pretty special, as is this one.

Yes post a pic.

No I just like to floor it and see if I can spin the 33s with 4.10s and a 351w

Nice, I couldnt spin the tires on wet glass with my 5.0L, lol. However, it DOES have 230K(ish) so I guess I shouldn't cry too hard.

With my badly tuned 351m and my screwed up rear end gears, I can spin my 35s when it's wet out and I am turning. it isn't easy though.

Today I replaced the passenger side exhaust gasket because I could no longer take that oh so irritating noise!

Also started questioning what engine swap. Finally narrowed it down to 2!

This is Sasha sometime around last year or 2011, she always looked way younger than she was, and she died not of age, but from cancer...





I miss her so much... Anyway, this week I got my alternator fixed, and fixed the reverse problem caused when I installed the B&M Shift Kit. Now I have a great running transmission, with possitive and firm (yet comfortable) shifts. I might still try the resistor included in the kit to augment the pump pressure output...

Sorry to hear bout the dog.


Everyone is doing good stuff to their Bronco.





I just took my 460 out of my 79 f150.
Got the 351m mostly unbolted from.my 79 bronco.

Going to yank it out tomorrow and put in the 460! Woot!

Nice looking Rott. They are so hard to lose.
