New bronco owner

I just bought a 89 bronco with a 351 with 120,000 miles. What is a good site for replacement and performance parts for the bronco. This is my first and I love it already but it needs some love.

Congratulations on your Bronco.

I am on my third full-size Bronco, an 82, an 87, and a 94. They quit making them in 96 so I need to make this one last.

Overall, Bronco's are great vehicles.

Oh yes..that will definately give you a "putt putt" sound. It wont really make it "run" bad but with a good muffler, you will notice the performance smooth out a bit

Hope you enjoy you Bronco as much as I do mine. I have a 96 Eddie Bauer and I LOVE it!! I used to have a little Bronco II and for what it was I really enjoyed it to. Went some places that made Wrangler drivers cringe--LOL! Now as far as parts, the website BillyBob gave is a good resource for hard to find stuff. AutoZone, JC Whitney and other auto parts chain stores will have most of the parts you need on hand with the occasional special order part as usual.
