    Looks good. My first wheels were a 78 and 79 bronco (package deal). One had a 460 and the other had a 351. Made a good one out of both of them and sold it. Still see it driving around every now and then. That was 13 years ago

    Where is it usually? I've seen a solid black one, a yellow one, and a red one.


    I got the transmission and transfer case back in the bronco.

    Now all of the little stuff starts going back in....this is the time consuming part.

    I got it all back together and it's working pretty good! I might need to pull the governor out again but I'm taking a break from it and enjoying the outdoors for a little bit. I might tackle the governor later cause it's going to require me to remove the transfer case again to get to it. Other then that it's driving and staying at a nice 170* temperature!

    I got this Edelbrock Performer 400 and Edelbrock 1405 carburetor for $100!



    And I got these headers and valve covers for $20 extra, will they fix I don't know yet but I'm going to look into it cause the guy said he took it off a 78 bronco.


    Didn't think that was too bad of a deal.

    That's what I thought Chuck, intake brand new is worth $250 so I said heck I'll take it! LOL

    I pulled the transfer case out earlier and pulled the governor, it had wasn't sticking bad but it had it's spots that it was sticking. So I swapped it out with the rebuilt unit I got done recently and got it all back together. Drove it up and down 30 and I didn't experience the issue I was having recently where it wouldn't downshift right. We will see how it goes for a few more days and decide if it's fixed then!
