96 bronco 5.8 question

I am going to buy a used 96 Bronco Eddie Bauer with the 351. I am planning on adding some performance mods to the engine...I was wondering if any of you guys have added things and what kind of HP numbers are you seeing? and is she fast? With all the parts I plan on buying it will be pushing 320hp, are the 351s easy to get power from?

i plan on putting a 3 or 4" lift and around 35-37" tires, but all the engine upgrading will be first on my list.

first off, go at least 6" to fit those tires. They say you shouldn't try any taller than 35" under a 6" lift.

Parts are limited for direct bolt on. They are out there just limited. Depending on what you want ot do you can get great power out of them. Especially if you want to get into the valve train. You said you were already getting parts to get it over 320...what are you getting so far?

How many miles are on there?
