Aww man, that really sucks to hear

I didn't even know you actually sold it. I remember you were planning to but weren't sure yet. Hopefully he will sell it back for next to nothing and you can get something out of it.

Texting and driving in the snow, how stupid can someone be? I have a hard enough time talking on the phone or talking to a passenger while normal driving let alone texting. The one time I tried it was enough to tell me not to do it again.

Yeah, he isnt exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

Part of the reason i sold the truck was to downsize the fleet. Im getting moved to Texas supposedly this summer.

Well you know, sometimes you have to make sacrifices and even though selling the Bronco is a bad thing. It happens. You still have the rest of your life to get another one.

That would be quite a project. What motor would you drop into something like that? I figure you would want EFI but what size... 400?

Hmm, the 351W would be pretty good for the stang I think, wouldn't you need to change some internal parts too since it was used for a truck? As for an engine mod in the zebra, if you were to keep it you should join me with a 351M/400 swap
