    I love every inch of it, except the play in the steering. My 1986 Bronco is nailed on the road and the steering is not hard, or soft. I increased Castor and diminished all possible play , from the steering to the wheels. power steering was introduced much later on this trucks , but the geometry of the truck steering, was left the same, for easy to steer, but they are shopping trolleys unless castor is increased etc.,

    Great looking Bronco. Love the Godzilla swap. What transfer case did you use? Did you re-gear any of the differentials?

    • @deeremeyer1749
      @deeremeyer1749 Год назад

      Any of the differentials? There are two and if you regear any you have to regear every. Unless you're happy with a "2WD conversion" and don't install the front driveshaft or never put in 4wd.

  • @deeremeyer1749
    @deeremeyer1749 Год назад

    So is there a "gear position" displayed anywhere?

  • @deeremeyer1749
    @deeremeyer1749 Год назад

    No cooling system expansion tank aka "overflow tank"? What's up with the valve cover "breather" on an EGR-equipped emission-controlled engine? That'll never "smog" regardless of the "sniffer test". And what about factory "tuning"?

    That is so clean looks like factory.
    Was wondering I’m planning on try to do this same install in a 1979 f150 step side short box.
    Do you sell a motor mount kit?
    Unfortunately I don’t have the skill to make them.
    Thank you

    Have you considered using the 10 speed trans? I saw a gen 1 using this engine with the 10 speed and owner loves it. Seems you may get better mileage and the 10 speed works well in the trucks

    What's the point I would have swapped in a 7.5 460 kept it retro and I would bet it would out perform it in the long run and it's easier to work on.

    An "antiroll bar" mounted ahead of, under, behind and above the front axle all at the same time when you look at the whole "package" on a coil-sprung "four link" suspension "on" a "live axle".

    "Ford Racing"? Try "Ford Performance". Which is where all Ford "crate motors"..."come from". Especially "service replacement" engines like that one which is not a "warranty replacement" engine because those are long-blocks.
    All Ford F-250s and F-350s? Yeah. Right. All of them that are "light-duty". And "new"? Yeah. About 3 years "new" at least. And not a single factory "upgrade" in/on/to it yet. In fact, it's being "replaced" as the light-duty "Super Duty" Ford "gas" engine with a "little brother" - "small block?" - engine in the same "family" but "destroked" to "live" longer at "high rpm" where those gutless "big-blocks" with their combustion chambers and ports that can't begin to "compete" with the "small-block" heavy-duty "gas engines" of the "competition" in real "power" and "performance" at "highway speeds" have to run to make "big power" and "pull" those ridiculous "10-speed" autos even with ridiculously low 4.30 gears.
