new to broncos...

hey all, i just got an 84 4x4 yesterday and there are a few problems with it but im looking to fix it up. i dont know a thing about it other than its torn to hell and its a 4x4 v8, lol. the carb went out on the last owner and so it sat out for more than a year, now the engine is frozen. i poured oil down the spark plug holes and hopfully itll break free tomorrow. can anyone tell me some good info about the truck? i know most of the features but what kind of engine is it? any good websites to help me learn about it? also, how much would a used carb cost? im just trying to get it running, nothing special. thanks,

andrew

its either a 302 or a 351w -- i'd get a rebuilt carb from a parts store or get the old one rebuilt -- good luck

Look at your VIN#, it will tell you what the factory motor is/was. The engine code is the 8th digit or letter:
F=302cid, 2barrel carb
G=351Wcid, 2bbl
H=351WH.O., 4bbl Holley
A carb rebuild kit is under $20, a new aftermarket 4bbl is about $250-300.
This a good site for Bronco info and help, just do a search!

High Output. As for interior pieces, they are becoming harder to find. You might want to check out www.motorhaven.com and jeffsbroncograveyard.com . Also, you'd be surprised what you can find on ebay.
