Awesome! Looks like a 6.0L?
This isn't quiiite Super Duty related, but it's cool enough that it can stay.

Its even got 8 lugs on it! Straight off the SD. Sweet. I am not a fan of broncos but can easily apreciate what this owner has done. Very clean swap.

Nope, everything was custom made to fit the bronco frame, even the SD axles on it.

Now you've made me drool all over my keyboard.
I see a solid front axle (D60?)
I see the front bumper is from a OBS diesel pickup
Does the hood close all the way?
That has to be a tire roasting SOB.

I would like to know what the total price of this buildup was... could not have been cheap.

If you look at the top of the hood in the first pic, it looks like the heat fromthe alt. and other components are taking a toll on the hood paint. Might have to get a liner on the hood!

The hood closes fine with no problems at all. He did the swap himself. He is a 6.0/7.3 tech and is very good at what he does. He also has the D60 axle in it and the 6.0 tranny with it. This think hauls azz!! I like his bronco with the 7.3 better, just because I am a 7.3 fan, lol

In the Bronco forum, there was this one guy a long time ago that kept talking about doing that...but never heard back from him...Not sure if he did it or was just talking.
I could just imagine how quick that thing is....I love it!
Now he just needs the PSD badges for the sides.
