Daily Slideshow: Devilish 1968 Ford Bronco Runs Loose in Off-Road Motorsports

Looks like fun

The Evil Mariachi team last year won its fifth NORRA Mexican 1000 in the Pioneer Class with this classic Bronco named El Caballo Del Diablo. For everyone who isn't a Spanish speaker that moniker translates to the devil's horse. Evil Mariachi, led by Boyd Jaynes and Brian Godfrey take off-roading very seriously and it shows with their team being the winningest team in the history of the National Off-Road Racing Association.

Nothing to hide

At the front of the vehicle are Rigid Industries lights all over the truck. Four R-46 7-inch LED lights with red covers tucked right inside the front bumper. Up top, there is a 40 inch LED light bar to kick up the illumination during night driving. The Bronco rolls on 33x12.50 R15 General Grabber MT tires to make its way over various terrain.

If it ain't broke...

The engine bay of the classic remains mostly unchanged except for some powertrains reinforcements to make sure the 351 Cleveland engine remains cool and running properly. There is an MSD Ignition, PSC Motorsports power steering pump and a beefy CBR Performance Products aluminum radiator are the biggest mods that are there.

That's some trek!

As part of the Pioneer Class, the Bronco's engine, suspension, and main components are all stock. However, some basic modifications have been done in order for the classic to endure the over 1,200 miles of pure punishment right through the Baja peninsula. To lighten the weight of the vehicle there is a fiberglass hood but beyond that, the body and chassis are the same as when the Bronco rolled off the production line. For the sake of safety, a tube frame was added.

You can change that but not this

The suspension had to go through the same restraints as the rest of the vehicle being no big mods save for reinforcements. So, underneath are PAC Racing coil springs and FOX 2.0 remote reservoir shocks with ECS2 external coolers. Mastercraft limit straps keep everything in its proper position. The brakes tasked with bring the Bronco down in speed are Wilwood Disk Brakes. The piano black wheels are painted VNA69 Ansen-Sprint American Racing to keep the vintage vibes going.
