Godzilla Bronco Part 5

We've finished our first Godzilla swap in this 1979 Bronco, take a quick walkaround and test drive with us to see the finished product!

[@jackwells1452]

Great build, best Bronco body style, IMO

[@makattak88]

Awesome build! Owner has good taste.

[@77fordhiboy]

Ive built Dentside's with high quality cummins conversion and I must say you guys did a really great job !!

[@outdoors76]

Man my 96 needs that drivetrain!!

[@kirk0respite]

Didn’t know about this tremec! Been looking for a modern Manual with overdrive for my 79 bronco looking at tranzilla t56 from rockland gear but this is nice because I’ll have overdrive AND A GRANNY GEAR!

[@matthewgirard8164]

Very nice. Great Job!

[@teecuzbruh4058]

I wish I would've been in a position to hang onto my '84 model I had and let go in the late '90's, to do something like this to it

[@brinkee7674]

saw a vid of a gen 1 Bronco w/Godzilla swap using the 10 speed. I think the 10 speed might be a better driver but who doesn't like a stick. Sweet build, I really miss my 78 and have a soft spot for them

[@unclejun84]

Badass ride

[@BigEdKOWALIK-ok9co]

In so many ways I'd much rather travel for personal use in classic autos and things like this engine swap makes it so much better.

[@jaredkish8716]

Absolute dream truck! Amazing jobs guys

[@willblackerby9055]

Well done. Awesome Bronco. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jeffparker8268]

Nice build have lots of fun with it

[@saigawesnovember]

That’s a very nice bronco. I’ve got a white 1994 sport that runs exceptionally well. 5.8,flow tech headers and a bunch of other stuff the previous owners must have done because at 200k miles it just runs strong. Everything on the exterior and engine stuff is done. Next is to install the new seals for the top and the new carpet,just waiting for a few dry days.

[@allenabraham5042]

Outstanding job done on the Bronco!

[@isaacatcitty2698]

Beautiful bronco! And beautiful scenery 😍

[@donaldwilliams2270]

Well done , love love love everything except those mirror's

[@jouseffarnold7233]

Nicely built

[@iddddaduncan]

Beautiful!

[@byronmaldonado53]

To do a swap like that , not counting the truck body . How much the budget would be on the swap

[@michaelsieloff7277]

@7:15 Did you see the 2 deer on the right? Love the bronco. Considering a godzilla swap on a 77 F250

[@danmchugh5115]

Very nice. Would have used a different style mirror

[@lukemorgan8447]

That's nice and roomy under the hood

[@ajfarson]

Very nice! I am sitting on an OBS Bronco that is ready for a stage 3 resto. I may have to hit you guys up! I'd like the 10R80 mated to the Godzilla and an Atlas 4 instead of a manual (I have an FJ40 for banging through the gears).

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

Stay tuned, we just had a customer drop off a 96 Bronco that we'll be starting next month. We'll be doing a KZbin series on it as well...

[@davidtanner9813]

@@WellSortedAutomotive looking forward to this! I have a 95 that I'm deciding how I want to build it out!

[@yoUaSsBee.]

Very nice build, but wtf are those mirrors,,,,,,,,,,,

[@cwegga]

Looks fun. I wanted to know how the 10 speed would fit and how short the rear driveshaft would be. Those Chevy mirrors are kind of atrocious.

[@bryancondrey6457]

I bet they shake way less than my factory Ford mirrors.

[@joeswift2655]

How much would this cost but with the 10R140 I have a 79 bronco I would like to do the same with

[@racereadymotorsport7772]

What kind of MPG are we looking at with this combo? I figure the Bronco is lighter than the Superduty so that should help out some. Considering this swap or a Coyote. Just need something more than the 10-11mpg I'm getting in my OBS Bronco and 302.

[@CharlesESloan]

This is absolutely awesome. How do i get in contact with you to find out what it costs to have this done. I have a 78 2wd explorer edition and this would be perfect for her.

[@garrettscott4094]

What about the wire harness and ECU? I imagine the original gear not being compatible.

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

This truck had a whole new wire harness from American Autowire and we used the OBR engine controller to run the Godzilla. You can integrate the OBR control harness to the original truck wiring if desired, it doesn't really need much beyond +12V constant, ignition, and a few outputs for fuel and fans.

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

How did you like the fitment of the OBR engine harness? Would you change anything about it if you could? Looks amazing what an awesome build!

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

We would like a longer cable so we can locate the OBDII port behind the dash when the ECU is underhood. We also would be interested in a shorter harness for those installations where we do keep the ECU underhood and don't need so much cord length. We can send some thoughts to Ole directly for a couple harness options like this...

[@Hoppysjunkyardrally]

@WellSortedAutomotive ok. i will be sure to bring that up as well. I do see most customers mount the ecu under the hood. It definitely makes sense to have a long OBD2 port. But going through Ole is definitely the best way he has final say on anything we produce. I truly appreciate your feedback, and i hope the systems performs to your and customer's standards.

[@Nairod2]

o_O and this is a recent video, Is hard to find people working on old broncos. n_n If I ever kill my 351w with only 89k miles from 1990 I know with what will I replace it. I just wonder if that engine doesn't have too much torque for the original frame.

[@zh9119]

How much could cost to swap a motor like that? not exact price, just the range please

[@brandonrobishaw7606]

The biggest problem with this generation in my opinion is the steering column itself. Not particularly good bearings particularly the bottom most collar a weak plastic piece fails to keep it centered.

[@garrettscott4094]

Finally!

[@dazman6325]

Very nice job! What size tires are those?

[@jacobbecker4444]

Do you mind sharing details on the clutch setup? Did it require anything custom to mate the manual to the 7.3? I am interested in going the manual trans route for my swap, but would be using a zf6 from a gas Super Duty. Amazing build and thanks so much for sharing!

[@dougdelong6161]

It's basically all the same parts as a Coyote. The Godzilla has the same bolt pattern for the flywheel so it's interchangeable.

[@bobsattler3838]

What hydro boost unit did you use

[@Orangetaco22]

What’s the price tag on a swamp like this?? Got a 79 myself 😎

[@unclejun84]

what brand module you use for a fuel tank? If you don’t mind me asking.

[@dougdelong6161]

In this build we modified a stock tank to add a regular Walbro pump. Since then we've designed our own stainless replacement tank that incorporates a modern EFI fuel pump module (the tanks are for sale on our web site).

[@rickstrandberg6398]

You don't need granny gear with almost 500lb ft off idle,and would have swapped new super duty front suspension

[@mike18421]

I so want to do this swap in my 75 F250. Would the engine mounts your going to make work with my truck? Thanks

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

We're not sure Mike, but if you want to send us an email we can possibly get into the details... [e-mail]

[@sergiosanchez2883]

Will the engine mounts change for a 77 250 but a 2wd?

[@WellSortedAutomotive]

We haven't checked the 2WD frames so can't say for sure

[@jerrymartin3457]

Will that drivetrain work with the bullnose too?

[@dougdelong6161]

The fitment will be a little different but it will definitely work

[@HMuny55]

Why mechanical fan over electric?

[@dougdelong6161]

Mechanical fans flow a lot more air than electrics. This customer lives in Arizona so cooling capacity at low speed is critical.

[@HMuny55]

@@dougdelong6161 Thanks. Didnt know that

[@iancirino122]

Gm mirrors need to go lol
