    Say hello to my little friend...1987 Ford Bronco

    Hi everyone. Still fixing up this 1987 Ford Bronco. I do have a question though. I bought some GT40P Heads. I am wondering if I can replace my old heads and just put these on the current 302 engine? Do I need to use new intake manifold? I do understand I need matching headers to bolt onto these...

    Step Bars ....HELP

    Ok this Bronco is now a 1987 body sitting on a 1988 chassis. We put a 3" body lift and a 6" suspension lift with 37" TOYO tires. One of the problems is now getting in this monster!! ha. Ok so I took it to the off road shop and they had bought Aries step bars for it. When I came to pick it up...

    1987 Transmission shifting/leaking

    Thanks BullyBob, It is leaking, as in, there is a small puddle. I checked the trans and engine oil and both are at ok levels. Thing is, I don't know how to tell which it is. I looked under the car and it is on the trans pan but also higher up on the side of the engine as if it was the valve...

    1987 Transmission shifting/leaking

    Hi guys, I thought I might ask another question of you. The 1987 Bronco transmission is suspect. While driving down the highway or road, it sometimes feels like it slips out of drive into neutral, the engine revs but no power. Once it slows down a little, it goes back into drive automatically...

    1988 Flange manual locking hubs broken

    The manual locking hubs are stuck in the lock position so the front drive shaft is always turning. I have been told that this is causing unncecessary wear on the front bearings, etc and reducing gas mileage when in 2W mode. We were having a shop put on new hubs but they found that they are the...

    Best way to replace valve covers

    I posted the same question about a month a go and Beast Runner gave me a step by step instructions including detailed pictures to get this done. It is pretty time consuming but not overly difficult to complete. I would say that you should scroll down in this forum about page 4 where you will see...

    Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

    I found it!! It's completely off now. You won't believe this but once I got the EFI plenum off, the back of the valve cover has a round hole in it. Stuffed in the hole was a greasy shop rag. No wonder the thing was smoking. Ok next weekend I will try to put it all back together. Many thanks for...

    Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

    Well, I got the vacuum lines off, the throttle linkages off, the coolant lines off and some wires off. I took out the bolts on the plenum but it doesn't want to move. I took out the 2 at the front, 2 at the back, one of the right middle, and one on the bracket on the left side of engine. I just...

    Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

    We have a 1987 Ford Bronco. It starts well but there is a lot of oil coming from the valve covers. I first tried just tightening down the bolts but it still leaks back on the passenger side close to the firewall. Ok so I got the rubber gaskets from Auto Zone. I just don't know how to do this. It...

    1987 Bronco needs help!!

    Hi guys, I am pretty excited to see this forum because I helped my son get this Bronco, which I love, but it is a little bit worn and he doesn't see the same "diamond in the rough" that I do. It is a 302 EFI engine which we now found out was probably overheated as a piece of the block cracked...
