New to FTE
Hello, my name is TJ. Our 82 Bronco XLT Lariat with a 5.8/351w has been in our family for almost 20 years. I started working on it about nine years ago, a little here and a little there. I got a little more serious about it with the last couple years and I’ve done quite a bit to it. I’m in the process of installing the original rebuilt engine and cleaning up the engine compartment. My plans are to eliminate the EC III system, all emissions and EGR components and wiring.

No it wasn’t Cali emissions but it still had way too much going on under the hood…. Wires, pipes, relays and vacuum lines going everywhere..

Keep all that emissions “junk” functioning. It isn’t complicated.
