UPDATE:

This post brought to you by Shift! Some good sheeeeeeet



Sorry for the long wait. Been lazy and busy with other stuff. I’m in the process of trying to get a shed built in the back yard so I can make room in the garage.

So, I finished the bumper! Turned out pretty good. Pics:

















Needed a tailgate to haul some gravel for the shed base. Needed to let everyone know what I drive:



Some cool stuff:

Present from my brother. Best invention ever!



Huge D-ring at a site i was working at a couple weeks ago. Thats my chapstick to the left.



Tore the driveline out of the bronco. Not much left of the girl. Parts still available on the cheap!




And I got bored yesterday and tore out the carpet. That stuff stank worse than a *****house on sunday.













Riley helping put the seats back in. She loves hanging out in the cab while I tinker.





Well thats all for now. Might look at getting some 60/40/60 bucket seats out of a newer Ford. And waiting on a paycheck that I don't blow on coke and hookers to buy some goodies for the Cummins!


-Kyle

I wanna see too, subscribed.

Not to burst your bubble but 500 HP is a little ambitious for a first gen 12 valve. Are you planning a P-pump swap?

Yea, 500 HP would be VERY ambitious (and expensive!) on a VE Pump. I'm going to be buying a P-Pump kit which comes with everything I need to convert.

I'm shooting for 500 hp, but at this altitude 425-450 will be more realistic. But you're also talking about 800 ft-lbs of torque, or more. Thats only like 3X the power my 351 makes

Ditto on the push bar. I live in CO also if you still have it. I also need a tailgate for my 77 if you know where one is.

Push bar is long gone. No idea on a stock tailgate, but I could make you one like mine
