No Bronco came with a 460. Biggest engine in 78/79 is the 400.

I do believe Ford didn't even offer the 460 in 4x4's untill the 80's

460 was a popular swap. Lotsa torque, but a bit (?!?) thirsty.

the reason i asked about the 460 is because i had a buddy(only knows ch***s) and that's what he said, but i went and looked at it today and right off i knew it was not a 460 but a 400.

and also do yall know what a good 6' lift would be, and besides what comes in the kit what else will i need to complete the lift correctly.

For the lift kit you will need. 6in lift springs, 7 degree c-bushings, a drop trac bar bracket, extended brake lines, drop pitman arm, and for the rear I will suggest a add-a-leaf kit and a shackle flip. You may also need to have the rear shaft lenghtened.
