*Bronco update*
Just burned through another passenger side exhaust manifold gasket it less then 1,000 miles but I did finally hit the 295xxx mile mark on the odometer. Since I have the time and money I'm going to rebuild the 351W in it and see what kinda performance changes I can get. I found Sealed Power EMKP1116A000 - Federal Mogul Economy Engine Rebuild Kits - Kit/Combo Contents - SummitRacing.com on summit racing. Looks like a pretty good rebuild kit and was wondering about some input from you guys at FTE before I get too far. I'm going to get new heads from a buddy of mine that I'm going to send to a machine shop to get overhauled and I'll get the cam/crank mic'd out to see if I have to buy new ones. Any helpful information from you guys would be much appreciated.
Or this rebuild kit: Sealed Power MKP6116A-000 - Federal Mogul Premium Engine Rebuild Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com
This one is a premium kit the other one is an economy kit.

Well the guy I bought the bronco from is very helpful with information about my truck because he has pretty much the exact same bronco. And I know another guy that has all the parts to build a 391? stroker motor but is would also be very helpful with my engine rebuild as well. But I will still check it out.
So I'm going to get a custom 3in y pipe coming off my headers and am going to get a high flow manga flow catalytic converter.. can anyone recommend a good cheep one weather its on summit or something? It's $85 at my local auto zone and I've seen a few on summit but I can't tell the difference between them besides the price.
So it's been a long while since i've updated this. I have a "new" 2 1/2 exhaust that goes from my headers to dual in dual out thrust muffler to exiting in front of the rear bumper. I got the trans/transfercase rebuilt and am now planning a few new things that I want imput on.
1) changing the front TTB dana 44 to a soild front axle from a f250 or 350 of the same year so that way I can do leaf springs up front with tri-shocks. (something I saw at the monster jam from one of the welovemud trucks.)
2) Rebuilding the 351W which has 296xxx miles on it and putting in a new 393 stroker motor. (Only if I can't sell the bronco before i get the funds for the motor. So if anyone is interested let me know.)
3) Replacing the 2 1/2" suspenion with 3" true dual exhaust running outside the frame and exiting before the rear tires with *unknown muffler name* in there. (I have the mufflers marked in my shopping cart i just don't remember the name. I went over it with my exhaust guy about a month ago.)
Any advice would be really appreciated from my fellow Truck lovers on FTE
