  • I have people asking questions about my 1984 Bronco II all the time and thought I would upload a quick video.
    Its unedited, as that would take stills I dont have at this time.
    It's got a 5.0, with forged stroker kit.
    I went with the short stroke 331 kit without the over bore. (327 ci)
    I went with the smaller kit, because I already had the Air Flow Research heads.
    I built it as a toy, but life changed and it's back to my daily driver.
    Thank you for watching and I hope to get more videos up soon!
    Feel free to post any questions!

    UPDATE.....5-19
    Quick dashcam shot.
    I will try and upload another Bronco video soon!

    Very nice! I had an 85 with v6/5sp. Great little thing. Great in the snow. Always wanted to throw a v8 in it. Eventually gave it to my son. Have a TJ now, but sorry I didnt keep that B2. Duffy used to sell all the adapters/parts to make the swap

For my question: was it difficult going to EFI from the 2.8 carbed setup? What was needed? I was debating going carbed 5.0 as I've heard those are easier for conversation sake.

    • @dontask8979
      @dontask8979  4 года назад

      I used the "Ford Motorsports" harness.
      I'm sure its just a fox body mustang computer harness.
      I pulled the 2.8 harness off the computer and stuffed the plug back through the firewall and unbolted everything the harness connected to.
      I think I had to cut 4 wires, and splice them.
      I also had to add new wires for the fuel pump etc.
      I installed the engine over 20 years ago, so there are much easier ways now days.
      I was hell bent on using all Ford parts.
      I think you can get a harness from "Painless wiring"

    • @dontask8979

      The heater box is about the hardest part and that's simple.
      What I would do different..
      I fixed that with the engine in it now. The OEM intake with fuel injection you cant get to one of the bolts to remove the upper intake. That could be a problem!
      The cobra or explorer intake has the bolts in a location you can get to.
      Also when I replaced the engine, I cut away more of the heater box, so I could remove the valve cover, if need be.
      If you have anymore questions, let me know.
      Good luck!

      Those are/were the "Truck Lites",and at the time, they were in the process of selling to Rigid Industries.
      After sticking those in, I never used the offroad lights again. The line between high and low beam is incredible. I have never been flashed by anyone.
      100% plug and play. No screwing with wiring or anything else.
      They have about 8" of wire that plug into the factory headlight plug.
      HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
      Best headlights of anything I have ever drove.

      I did lots of homework and at the time the 33x10.5 was only .4" taller, but the 32 was over a inch wider.
      The wheels are just 15x7 with zero offset, but that will be different, as the 8.8" axle is wider than a BroncoII.
