Yes radiolotech I have a couple of questions for you on the electronics part of it. I swapping out my 302 in a 91 for a 351W. can I use my same computor and all the sensor hookups from the 302? I don't believe either ehgine had a mass air flow, I think they are both speed sensored. ANy thoughts?

I think you have to use a different computer for the 351 but I may be mistaken. I will have a better answer tomorrow when I am able to get to my service manuals.

lookin forward to see a local 4by website. I've got a 85 150 that plans to be a sick trail rig soon. I've hit the rubicon in a friends truck and would rather drive next time.

I also have an 89 bronco that I'm about to stick a new/rebuilt motor into. You guys have any shops in reno/sparks area that have done engine work for you?

Can you trail well with IFS or should I trash it for a straight axle on my 85?

Sorry all I am back. It has been a nightmare here. Lost my internet fow a few weeks and had a relative pass away. I feel bad for not getting the page done for yall yet. I'm back on it tho. As far as a machine shop here in Reno I highly recomend A Plus. Their number is 775-322-9551. They are on Manuel St. off of E. 2nd St. That is the only shop I will let do work for me. I have not had a problem ever with them. The prices are good too.

Hey 89bucknbronc, you wouldn't happen to live (or lived) near the Seeliger area would you?

I drive a Red and White 1990 XLT with the 351 in it. Not the best looker, but a fun truck to drive.

myself and another guy (now just members of wt4x4.com) were the ones that tried to start up the Sierra Nevada Chapter of 2 Big Broncos a few years ago. Their then president pulled the rug out from underneath us because he did not see enough progress. He didnt understand that Cal. is a huge state, and then adding NV into it makes for a lot of driving to and from events.

I dont recognize the user names here, but I know of a few people that live up in Carson. Big Norm is the one I know the best. There are several of us from Nor Cal too.


Good Luck starting your club

My name on wt4x4 and FSB is "bucknbronc". I tried to get bucknbronc on here but messed up and had to get a new user name and they said that it was already in use, so I added the year of my truck on the front. oh well
