545ci Stroker Bronco running after break-in
I have seen the 3600 pound hd front axle with the large lockout hubs as early as 1973.
The dual exhaust sounds loud and great
The best sound in the world 👍
Thanks for the video.
Are trailer leaf springs supposed to be more flatter than how bow shaped actual truck leaf springs look? Are they same or different? Thanks.
Pavement princess
I'm building the same size engine for mine. What's hp and torque do you get
Did you get the custom made? If not can you send me the link? Dual 3" stainless mandre:4 bent system w/ 40-series Flowmaster,
Spring Over can definitely articulate too . Just get the Shackle Angle right . But , yes , an Anti-Wrap link is a good idea .
So who decided on the Highboy years, 59-66 was the same setup. And I've always questioned 77 1/2, I've never seen nor heard of a 351/400 with a divorced transfer case
Amen to the truth! Awesome video.
I bought a 1977 high boy bran new f250 70.000 miles on it now plan on changing under truck with f 350 running gear and 54 in bogger tires street driveling only
Looks and sounds great. I just bought a 1978 ford f250 4x4 custom super cab. Can’t wait to start driving
Sir if you dont mind i would like your thoughts and advice. Im an 18 year old in the Army currently and im doing okay, im pretty good at soldiering and i try to take care of my body, dont drink or smoke like the rest of the soldiers or play videogames at all, just weightlift, work on my car and travel when i have the time off, but i have always seemed to cause or have trouble follow me in one way or another. Most of the trouble i get myself into is petty small stuff that blows over eventually but it seems like i cant conciously stop myself making dumb decisions all the time. I recognize the issue and am trying to work on it but my personality it seems leads me to trouble and conflict with other people occasionally. I fucked around and did drugs in high school and dropped out when i was 16, and then joined the army at 17 trying to work towards a better me and future, earned my GED soon after turning 18. But the stress sometimes clouds my mind and my anger gets out of hand occasionally. Have you ever dealt with that mental block of making good decisions when young?
What cam are you running?
I just bought a 1978 ford f250 extended cab long 4x4 custom high boy
No you didn't
I sure did. Need to get the tires switched around and get it to the mechanic. It runs. But the last time the guy started it. Started a small fire under the hood burnt the spark plug wires
@@hunt1198 It's not a Highboy, not in 78
Oh ok so they didn’t make a high boy in 1978. It’s a custom 1978 f250 and it’s high
@@hunt1198 👍
This guy is super creative! Great videos!
Sounds magnificent
Holy Shiznit! Yo! What kinda power you makin son? The 460 bolting straight up to the bronco or you gotta do some crazy modifications? Son I got questions for you, I been tryna plan a 408 stroker for my ‘96 Bronco but where I live everyone is selling 460 blocks! You got videos of your build? Peace.
Great video tons of great information well done my brother
I have a 1988 bronco and want to put a true dual exhaust just like that. Where can I get one like and the get exit hole like that as well?
sweet truck! i have a 79 also but i have the 351 :( haha what’s that screen on the left of the steering wheel? also do you have a link? i’m looking for some modern monitoring so i can make sure everything’s working as it should, thanks!
What trans and transfer case
Great video
Excellent explanation. Pretty much what I assumed they were for but it’s nice to get some confirmation from someone who knows what they’re talking about.
Knows what they’re talking about is generous 😂 but thank you man! Glad it helped!
I need to know where you got the headers from
The bronco should be lifted the tires are too close to the wheel well. It would be better for rock crawling
Got a 5 lug taco with a sua suspension and this just gave me more confidence on it lol
That’s awesome, Keep’er pinned! 😂
Buen video! Gracias
Thank you!
Good explanation. With Long Travel / Spring-Under setups, do you find the need to run traction bars to eliminate the wrap?
It depends on vehicle weight/horsepower/tire size etc. but it’s certainly common to find them on spring under builds. Spring under helps, but big HP can still twist springs up. I’ll be running a traction bar on my build, but it’s ~700HP on 39’s and a pig 😂
Haha thiis iis great. And with chevy stuff, idiots call all 61/62 2 doors bubbletops. All 55 - 57 chevy cars are bel airs...etc.. So thanks for sharing knowledge. But it won't counteract the ocean of know it alls and bandwagon enthusiasts wirh the wrong info., un fortunately lol
God forbid we have fun !!
My buddy has one, he won’t sell it to me . He’s a dick!!!! I don’t blame him
What's the sound like?... overbearing?... I've been interested in these mufflers for a while now.
So I have a highboy F-250 frame with a 4 speed sitting in my backyard! Just need a body!
I can hear you from my house
Where can I find the engine I have a 1991 ford bronco 5 speed
Anybody who hates on that pur is tasteless
And what is the shackle angle of a tension shackle? I have a K5 Blazer 64 spring swap and both the front and rear axles are spring under.
Interesting enough it was Chryslers own New Process Gear that supplied all full size trucks Ford and G.M. with transfer cases and manual transmissons.
Not all, some were Warner
I've often pondered this, and suspected Custom had something to do with. Now I know. As a '78 F-250 Custom owner myself, I do have the round headlights. Now, my other question is why my 460 still rocks what seems to be the Duraspark 1 ignition system? This has been a point of contention since I first bought the truck in 1996. Mine has the small, female socket style cap & matching rotor, yet catalogs everywhere insist my truck should be equipped with the large, two-piece Male terminal cap. Near as I can tell it's all original. The only part of my harness that has been tampered with is the "Trailer Special" section, midway down the frame. Does that have anything to do with trim packages? Or is it leftover from 1976?
There was 2 460's they put in these trucks. The first and more common was code "A" which can be identified by the 4th digit on the vin number. This was the federal emissions engine used in the F150 (rarely seen) and the lower GVWR F250's. These had DS2, and despite being a 1975 coded engine, were put into trucks built in late 75, they were all sold as 76 models UP THROUGH 1979!!! The other engine was the "J" code. It was common although less common. This was the engine mainly used in the higher trim F250's and F350's, mainly crew cabs and super cabs, camper specials, trailer specials, etc. So it's likely you have a J code truck. These were either emissions exempt or atleast were not fitted with a catalytic converter. These were rated 5 hp more and ran the DS1 ignition system from 73 all the way through 79. The DS2 system was introduced in 75 for the 76 model to meet emissions regulations. The DS1 was used because those were put into trucks that didn't need to meet emissions due to the GVWR, and they used DS1 because, according to Ford, "it made more power". It was only 5 more hp, but at the time 5 hp meant alot in marketing, when manufacturers were putting out engines with WAY less hp then ever before. Check your vin. If its a J code it's factory. If it's an A code, likely it's been swapped. Both ignition systems are interchangeable if you swap distributors, so it would be hard to tell if it's even factory to be honest.
@@79dent That's probably the best explanation I've heard. My VIN is F25JKBBJ****, so that checks out. Thank you!
How do you recommend measuring for limit straps? Is it when the leafs begin to seperate out of the retaining clips?
Limiting straps are to prevent excess Axle Movement from Ripping your DAMPERS in half . Not about the Springs in any way . To protect the Shock Absorbers .
@@johncunningham4820 yes I know that. With certain spring setups leaf separation seems like it will cause binding if you let them droop too far, therefore requiring you to limit travel with limit straps. Limit straps could also be used to prevent cv axle bind, components colliding, steering binds, etc.
Sorry, but I can't stand the Tic-Toc narrow screen. I really wanted to watch. I'm outta here.
Another way to tell is the VIN. I've got 2 78s a Ranger Lariat and a Custom.
Sounds good as hell!
Good information among earrape
Im a fan of having multiple Broncos.
Can u still bomb the whoops in leafs under vs linked? I know links are better but by how much?
You can definitely bomb whoops with leafs, mostly comes down to the quality of the shock tuning
Outstanding young man, you are about 98% right. And thank you for the clarification. The younger generation needs to know. The only inaccuracy is that the F250 “highboy” chassis actually started in 66 on year only for that body style and all used a 3000 or 3600 pound Dana 44 front axle utilizing trunnion ball on the end of the axle, the open knuckle Dana 44, 3600 pound heavy duty F250 axle actually came out in 1976 with the first year. Introduction of disc brakes and carried over 1/2 year into Early production 77 when Ford changed up the chassis, married the transmission and transfer case. and a reverse rotation, high pinion front differential. Other than those 1 1/2 years you are actually correct 76 and Early 77 F250 front axles are nearly impossible to find parts for. I’m 62 years old I’ve been building and working on these trucks since I was a teenager. With that said, I think you did a great job, dispelling many of the myths that seem to float around the Internet.
Glad you clarified that because I have a 66 250 4x4 with the 352 but also had 456-455 gearing and the 63 bed style and it is certainly a highboy
LOSER, just cause FORD didn`t call them a Big Block doesn`t mean they are not a Big Block. It is just a name.
