Hey all! I've caught the diesel sickness but love broncos as well. So my question to you is about a 7.3 Powerstroke swap. I already know it can be done since I've seen "A" picture of one before, but here's my questions on it...
I plan to get 78-79 bronco, I also want a manual transmission. Now I know I'll have to get a different trany and probably a new drive shaft, rear axle, fuel system, exhaust system (goes without saying), run new electrical in places and so on. Now the 78-79 era could fit up to a 460, the 7.3 is a 445 if I'm not mistaken so does that mean I may have to still beef up the front suspension? Is there any other place(s) I could go to and get more information and is there someone here that I could talk to that has done this type of thing before? Thanks!
BTW, I did do a search on this before I posted, but didn't find anything that answered my question directly.
