Well, I did it. I rebuilt my 400M this summer at my cabin. I just thought id share some pics and info. First off, i would have had no chance at this project without this book: http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/0895860368 if you are planning a project like this for the first time, be sure to get a...

I will be installing a 3 in body lift into my bronco in the near future but I have not yet figured out a good way to actually lift the body off the frame to get the spacers underneath. I will be installing new polyurethane bushings as well. I was wondering how other people have done this in...

Awhile after buying my bronco and rebuilding the c6, I started to realize that an overdrive is very nice to have when on the freeway. I have looked into upgrading to a transmission with an overdrive and found the AOD. Before i go out and buy one, i just wanted to make sure that it could bolt...

I just put in an edelbrock performer 600 cfm 4bbl carb along with the performer intake manifold. I had a lot of trouble getting the transmission (c6) kickdown lever bolted on to the carb. I had to fab a piece of aluminum to get the extension, angle, and motion right. It works, but not great...

I am wanting to swap out my stock motorcraft 2bbl with a new Holley 4bbl. My truck is mostly used as a daily driver/mild off roader, and I was wondering if there would be any consequences of the 4bbl upgrade. Also what CFM should I get? I was looking at a 570 CFM or a 770 CFM.

When I bought my 78, it did not include the water temp and oil pressure senders so I dont have a reference for replacement. I bought new ones but I have no idea where they go. Previous posts have told me that oil pressure is located behind the intake manifold and the water temp is on the...

I have been trying to figure out what this part is called so I can get a new one. Its some type of wedge that goes in between the spring perch and the leaf springs, it has a stub on the bottom and an offset hole on the top. I outlined it in the attachment. thanks

I am wanting to convert my 351M to a 400. The 351M was stilled bored out to 400 but they put in a shorter throw camshaft and taller pistons to make it a 351, so in theory I would only need to put in 400 pistons and a 400 canshaft. Just wondering if there would be anything else I would need to...

i have not yet seen another truck with my mirrors, just wondering where they came from. thanks

I have been looking to increase my low end torque as well as increase my top end speed. After some research I concluded that I could either get a transfer case with an overdrive or a new transmission with an overdrive. However, the new T.C. would not allow for both at the same time, a new...

i just rebuilt my C6 and am reluctant to get a new tranny already but i am tired of the extremely wide range 1st gear in the c6. i have been researching the E4OD and i was wondering if it would fit my 78' 351M

My bronco has been sitting for most of the summer with occasional use on the weekends only. One weekend, I tried to start it and it just wouldn't fire. After a while I tested the spark, and there was none. The distributor and coil were only a few months old and have been working great. Since...

i have been looking for a fastback style soft top for a long while. the only place that sells that style is a site called soft-tops.com. the only problem is that those are listed as only 1980 and up. i asked the guy if that would fit a 1978 and he said if an 80's hardtop will fit a 78, then...

On my 78, whenever I would accelerate from a stop, I had to go really slow otherwise it would bog down and occasionally stall. It turns out I fixed it by mistake. When I was checking the spark, it was really weak, so I looked in the distributor and noticed it was all rusted and corroded. So I...

i have been looking forever to find a fast back style soft top for the 79/79 but cant find one anywhere. i am looking for the kind that goes straight from the top of the cab to the tailgate (see pic). i have seen a few on broncos but have never gotten a response on where to get them. i have...

i have 1978 bronco ranger XLT with a 351M. i was hoping to do some tuning up myself but i dont know much about the engine. i was hoping somebody out there could give me a few answers. what should the compression be? ideal running temp? (my gauge wont get past cold) takes a long time to...
