Hey bud, welcome to the zone! I have done this same upgrade and I didnt have any problems with turn radius or ride/steering issues. If you go any bugger you might consider a lift for your bronco. what are your plans for this beauty of a bronco? I have found that all plans for the future of my...

Hey folks, sorry I have been gone for so long. I am having the same issues as before but now I am eating gear boxes like its going out of style.. I am about to install my 4'th rebuilt power steering gear box in 6 mos.! I have considered almost everything with my rig then I came to the...

I had the grille and rad support out. pretty much the center face of the bronco.when i pop the hood i have to do the ''fonz'' in the center of the face og the hood.

Hi guys/girls. I have been having a degree of difficulty with the alignment of my hood since I did my motor swap. When I removed the hood I drilled the brackets with a 1/4'' bit for the re-installation but I am still having issues. As you can see, if you have been following my posts, I am...

still doing it! go** da**it! I was thinking of my build and I came up with a possible cause... when I swapped in the 460 I used the power steering pump from the 351. I wound up siezing that and had to buy a rebuilt/new one from napa. I am wondering if the idle,or rotation speed is different...

hey guys, sorry its been so long. My comp. has been in the geek squad for the last 2 mos..... good geeks? anyhoo, I have since replaced the ball joints and the swaybar link ends and tightened the steering box 1/4 turn on the top set screw. My problem still persists.... next step is to...

Hey folks, I have an issue that I just can't seem to get right with my 79 bronco. My steering/handling just absolutly sucks! When I drive at 40 mph and up, my Bronco wants to wander all over the road!! It feels like it wants to " find the groove " in the roadway but when it starts to find the...

Hey, I finally got to look at the bronco and I didnt find anything at all..? no worn hoses and no burnt fluid. wtf? I did notice that while driving up a decent hill at about 50 mph. I got on the gas heavy and there sounded lie a tick-tick? not consistently but every few seconds. almost sounds...

have you looked at your u joint in the shaft?

Thanks for the info.! I dont think its the fluid as I have changed the fluid 2 times, completely, in the last year and have only put +-7,000 miles on it. in any event I am about to do it again as I cannot seem to keep the pan from leaking a little... dammit! the 2 times that i have had the...

Hey folks, I was driving the other day and noticed that my tranny sounds like its chattering when its about to shift. it typically does this when i'm getting on it. I have checked the fluid and its full and not burnt and the mounts and lines are secure. I thought about my Bronco build for a...

I am going to assume that you drilled new holes in the frame for the new location of the front tower mount holes?

look at the starter solenoid. i had the same symptoms on my old 84 f-250 with the 351 w. once it was warm it wouldnt restart even with a jump... new starter and voila! I believe the solenoid is part of the starter itself nowadays. good luck

where are you from?

i thinnk thats correct. you'll have to take a few measurements from the motor mounts to the trans mount surface to the mating surface of the transfer case. i believe thats what brought me to that result. i actually used the round style tranny but had the center shaft swapped from the original...

hey bud, I hve done this swap before and if i remember correctly.. i used the factory bronco perches but i had to move them foreward a bit. I remember using the rear mounting holes on the perches in the front mounting holes on the frame. I also used the tranny that came with the motor. it was...

so... i found a set of pretty good springs for muh 79 bronco. i got them from an old timer that used to sell suspensions for all sorts of trucks and he had a set left around. they are from c&s? i think and i got the pair for 300 flat. direct fit and ride is comfy! only issue i had was the...

thanks dasbronco, i think i might just find a set of springs from a yard truck. ilearned that the leafs are all the same fom 73 to 79 on pick ups and obviously the 78 79 broncos. the only thing thats different is the h.d. setup which will in fact change the ride quality. the best i can find for...

howdy folks, I have a 79 bronco with 4'' lift, coils in front and 2'' blocks in the rear with stock leafs in the rear. today after a week of driving with said lift kit and 35'' tires on my rig I broke one of the spring leafs on the drivers rear... dammit! before i buy new springs for the rear i...
