whats goin on guys? I got an 83 Ford bronco with a 302. So far its got an edelbrock intake, holly 4bbl carb, and long tube headers. Im trying to pick out other performance parts.. Something i can bolt on basicly. Not willing to do pistons or crank yet due to the unwillingness of taking the motor out lol. I dont know much when they talk about heads and cam.. but those are 2 things im looking for now. Future plans are Juice, and super charger. Anyone got recommendations?

 

With a Bronco you need torque torque torque and more torque.

A Comp Cams XE258HR cam and a set of small heads like Edelbrock Performers and an Edelbrock performer intake. Broncos are big trucks for a 5.0 and it needs all the low end it can stand. A big thumping cam won't do anything but make a pig out of a big bronco especially if you use it for what it's intended.

 

well im not gonna be using it for what its meant for lol.. I want to make it a quick truck.. its not a daily and its not an offroading truck, its got 29k miles on it.. it was grandpas toy. i know he put an edelbrock intake on it but im really not sure what kind of edelbrock he put on (he passed last year)

 

another thing, I remember him saying that they put something on the transmission that is adjustable for other drivers to set something with the shifting?

 

thats a clean bronco, I havent seen one that nice in a long time... They all seem to be rust buckets or chopped up and lifted for offroading, thats purty!!

 

Thanks, there is actually No rust on it at all.. shocking for the NY winters. was grandpas toy, 29k miles

 

that real good for here in ny not many of that style bronco around here anymore

 

it's a big truck and on top of that it's 4x4, your gonna need one heck of a well built 302 or 347 to achieve "fast" in that monster, at least drop a 351 in it, that'll provide more giddy up than the 302 will

 

yea if ya wanna monster swap out that ttb front and for a dana 44 and lift her. but if i had a bronco that clean with low miles i think id try to keep it kinda like it is. i do like that paint skeem,its simular to my truck

 

well im doin what grandpa would of wanted with the truck.. he had a water/methonal injection kit he was gonna put in, but he didnt know how. so he wanted the truck to be a fun quick toy, so he started it.. Ill finish it
