[QUOTE=mont974x4]I have also acetoned my emblems and antenna.

Mont974x4, what the heck does it mean to acetone your emblems? I must be getting old....

8Flat you must have brought that with you from Glendive. Which way out of Glendive was your Ranch?

 

My Grandparent's ranch is out towards Bloomfield, Dad's ranch is closer to town on 3-mile creek.
Speaking of wind, have you ever looked at the MT state averages? I though Gt Falls was bad, check out Livingston, it blows us out of the water....yikes

 

I came out of Livingston one time and there was both halfs of a Moblie home blown over on to there sides just off the interstate. Also a travel trailer.

Born and raised around Belgrade here. Daily driver is a 1978 F150 FT 4X4 351M (will be a 400 in a month or so) Wife ride is a 92 explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0 5spd.

 

hi,from billings,i just got a use 92 f350,4x4,with a 460,needing rebuilting, wondering if anyone got a good use 460 for sale? can pull one in and out not good at rebuilting

 

Well, I don't know of anyone, but if you find one, ask the seller if they have another one, my truck uses oil like crazy and income tax refund time is coming! Or better yet, you could by the 460 for my truck, and I'll GIVE you my 160,000 mile 460! That's a great deal if you ask me.

 

I can order you one, they run about $1500. That would be a stock replacement with zero miles.

 

Hey Mattsbox, what can you get me a 351 for a 91 Bronco? My son got a quote for a rebuilt for $3888. I can drive to Billings from Missoula and save money.

Is that installed? If you want to do it yourself, the actual cost of the engine is about 1500, that is a long block (no oil pan, intake, or valve covers) and not bored more than .030" over and the crank not turned more than .010"/.010" (RM) undersize.

There would be a core charge if you didn't have it pulled already, I think it runs about $375. I do require that they are pre paid before they get ordered, because I can't send them back without a susbstantial restocking fee from Four Star.

I will try to get an exact price for you tomorrow. If you want them to add a better cam or anything, let me know and I will call and ask.

 

Thanks Mattsbox99. That price was installed, rad rebuilt, and trans rebuilt. My son who is 16 wants to keep the bronco, but he also wants a truck. So I am leaving it up to him to decide. The bronco use to get about 11 mpg, but now due to weather and the crap that Missoula puts in its gas durning the winter, he get's about 8 mpg. The body is in good shape. Needs a new tailgate. Brakes are new and had a complete tune-up and all hose's replaced last summer. He does want more power. But all his money right now is going to snow boarding. I don't know if that price is good or not. It is a automotive place that we have been using for about 2 years. They have been around along time and seem to know what they are doing. I am not mechanically smart. Plus only having about 40% of my arm useage doesn't help.

Again, thanks for your help.

I wouldn't rebuild the trans or radiator if you didn't need it...

Its not too difficult to do but you do need some special equipment that you can rent.

We have a store in Missoula so you could get a quote from them, I think my computer showed it as $1502 with a $400 core, I don't think there is a freight charge, if so its only about $50.

The 460 I looked up was $1638 plus a $400 core, we have that one at the warehouse in town so there isn't any freight charge on that one.

 

I'd give you my business for the 460 matt, but I'm saving for rear leaves for the Pontiac and either a Springfield Armory or Colt 1911 A1, so it's just droolin' and window shopping for now.

 

Its not going anywhere quick, fourstar rarely raises their prices very often...

 

Hey there everyone! I don't know why the heck I haven't ever singned up for this chapter. I am still in college at Miles City but grew up in Roberts (which is close to Red Lodge) and that's where part of our ranch is, the bigger part is over by the Pryor mountains. 5 of my buddies (one is a cousin and good friend) have a house now in Billings that I will move into once school is done this spring (good luck getting much sleep with 6 20 to 21 year old guys that like to party!). Just thought I would chime in.
