Latest Ford

I have no pics of it yet, but I have officially acquired a 78 or 79 ford bronco from my cousin as of tonight. Has its fair share of rust, 351m (a dog!) 4 speed tranny, needs a rear end. The price was really right though!

Pics to come next time I head back home!

Cool! Here is a link to muscle mustangs and fast fords website where they did a nice 400M buildup and got 500hp. Maybe there are some tricks for the 351M.

Just a note stay away from all the procomp cylinder heads off ebay. They are cheap chinese junk and take too much machine work to straighten out. There have been some castings that you could fail with just a t square!

What are your plans, a fixer upper or just to use, after replacing the rear end, around your place?
Thanks for tip Nathan, it`s good to know.

Im not a huge bronco fan so I may just get a rear diff from Ryan or someone and sell it, or maybe bomb around with it for a winter, see if it grows on me.

Thats awesome your outta there next spring Colin!! Hopefully somewhere good!
