Fabritech solid axle conversion
The main reason why i'm planning on doin this is because I lost my other bronco in an accident, so i'm getting some mulah. I'm looking at gettin a cheap 88-91 bronco w/high mileage to work to my advantage. I would like to drop in a new motor, beef up the transmission and throw this axle swap on. Its a lot but when I think about it. If i were to get a newer truck, for this money I would have a basic bronco that I will probably get lesser miles on cause its got more wear. later

thats what i want to do to my '87, i found a 351 that puts out 405hp that i want to put in my truck, than put a d60 rear then the solid fornt axle conversion witha d60 front. but the drive train is strong, if your bronco has the 13-56 t-case that (or so ive been told here on FTE) is put behind 460's and diesels so that should be plenty strong, and the c6 tranny is also put in 1tons or at least put on rockcrawlers and the like. so to me the tcase and tranny would seem strong enough.
