thats awsome. what kind of tires/axles you running? if your gonna be breaking stuff in first, sounds like those components need to go so you can up grade

Was pretty ugly. Luckily there was no body damage.

Anyway, here's the video...Enjoy.

My twin-turbo'd JDM B16A1-powered Mitsubishi-Honda hybrid Eclipcivic with NOS and a 6-inch cat-back exhaust system could smoke that thing... 3,000 HP... at the wheels... runs low 6s at the strip...

roktoy · 10-03-2006, 07:34 AM

Looks like that's gonna be a fun rig!

Thanks Bknight. Here is the rundown on the Bronc.
-1970 Bronc (or so the title says)
-C6 auto with hardened input shaft and B&M shift kit
-Bronco Dana 20 T-case, straight shift case with j shift gears, I've got some Jeep Dana 20 2.0:1 gears that I am going to swap in.
-Full width 9" in the rear, 5:13 gears, Detroit, 31 spline chromo axles
-Full width D44R in the front with an air locker, 5:13's, Warn Chromo axles, CTM ujoints.

Originally my plan was to drop in a blown 331 so I figured the drivetrain would be ok but the whole motor thing just kindof got out of hand.

I'm gonna see how things do and replace what I need to as I go. I know this thing is not going to be bombproof so I wiil try to drive it smartly.
The main thing is that I already know what a bullet proof Bronco weighs, that red Bronc has 500 horsepower 418 stroker and weighs 5500 lbs. It's reliable as hell but heavy. I wanna see what I can get away with to keep the Bronc as light as possible.

Mine was a plow truck too when I bought it.

Mine had very little rust (for a Bronco) though. Sounds like you got a good deal, good luck getting it going.

Thanks Jay. It was a blast last year with the 302, I caint wat to see what it's like in the snow when I can shift into second and third.

The light weight allowed me to break trail where my friends struggled.

I've never been to SOB. Someday I would like to though, it looks like a blast. Looks like you've got a good collection going on there. I hope to build another someday myself. My goal is to build something to compete in Top Truck Challenge after the kids get older.

Thanks for all the comments guys.
