Big Block 460 Bronco Build: Day One

[@WestHanoverTruckin]

Someday will be the talk of legends rebuilding these trucks. Bullnoses are like a box of chocolate. Sometimes, you find a chiltons in between the box and cab of the truck for 1982. Was so random finding that yesterday. But so finding out its 71 400 and not a 351w in my 1980 f150.

😂

Used to love those Chilton's many years ago. Just finished my road trip, 4,488 miles. Here's to getting a power sorce figured out soon on the Bronco. My Bronco died way up North, not really lookin for another one, yet. He was a good dog.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Holy moly, just a couple miles

[@FoxBodyDale]

Hellyea grew up im my dads 85 bronco. Dont see those generations much anymore. You see 70s and 90s all the time

[@VeteranRevivals]

Yeah bullnose wasn't a huge crowd favorite

[@doubleduty1703]

Love me some bronco content, I am biased Working on my 78 daily and you wouldn’t believe the shenanigans in body work I am doing to it. If I need parts I buy whole trucks. …

[@Fredness2300]

I think you are right about the "spray" - good call.

[@VeteranRevivals]

We'll, it was probably fun while it lasted!

[@charleystoneking6712]

Turbo'd sounds pretty sweet!

[@VeteranRevivals]

I agree

[@ericridout61]

Tore the left shoulder up taking the leaf spring u bolts off the 65 K10 last week. Hurts like hell !!

[@VeteranRevivals]

Very similar to what I did, rough stuff

[@Chad_H]

You should take that block to the machine shop and build a stroker. Also, that 92 has E7 heads. The F3 heads from '93-97 flow a lot better.

[@VeteranRevivals]

Good to know! Everyone keeps telling me D0VE or cobra jet

[@Chad_H]

@@VeteranRevivals those only work if you're gonna go carb or sniper. The ports don't match up from EFI to carb for the intake or the exhaust.

[@VeteranRevivals]

@Chad_H good point

[@kellybench4638]

We have got to do something to get LS out of your vocabulary when you’re working on a Ford!

[@VeteranRevivals]

😂😂

[@kellybench4638]

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for this Bronco!

[@joesanchez9512]

Can’t wait to see it finished. I’ve been wanting a bronco but prices are stupid. But I understand why 🤣

[@VeteranRevivals]

Yeah it's wild what people want for these things

[@larrybeussink7737]

Art, you seem to had some bad luck recently with the junk yard engines. Love your positive attitude about maybe using that turd to build something nice for Earl.

[@VeteranRevivals]

There's always a bright side!

[@larrybeussink7737]

@@VeteranRevivals You got that right. They say if you got lemons make lemonade. If you got a scratched cylinder make more cubic inches.

[@VeteranRevivals]

@larrybeussink7737 😂😂 exactly

If I need parts I buy whole trucks. …why is there no rust on that one? Never seen that… course I am up past North Dakota… give you a 351 Cleveland from the 78-79 era trucks for free, got two in the garage … go check a junk yard .. buy a whole running truck for 500 bucks… you know what to do …

[@VeteranRevivals]

Haha yes, not much rust down here in the desert. Might have something figured out for the engine. Soon!

[@krisburnau8189]

Hopefully you ordered your L&L parts last year 😂

[@VeteranRevivals]

Haha yes it's crazy how long the turn around is on those.

[@dansimmons1964]

Bummer that the engine needs more work than a short block. I'm an LS guy myself, but this Bronco should stay with a Ferd engine IMHO. Wish Coyotes were cheaper 🫤

[@VeteranRevivals]

Agreed

[@Freedbird]

I'm here for the puppy and a six pack of power !

[@VeteranRevivals]

@Freedbird haha hell yeah 🤙
