1978-'79 Bronco's | Forum profile

in the process of putting a 460 into my 79. several people have told me to swap the front sump pan i have to a rear sump pan. i got a pan for a 460 from a van for a good price, but i'm haveing tons of issues trying to get parts to fit because the oil pump i have doesn't work and also the pick up tube i got from bronco graveyard is for a complete rear sump pan. so my question is...is a rear sump ...

Anybody know anything about these. How do they compare to superior or Warn? Moser Max Axles

I built a 400 and I am in the process of putting a manual oil gauge in today. What should I expect? The entire engine was done to spec and a high volume pump I run 10-40 in it. Let me know as I am wondering. Before rebuild it had 20 lbs hot no matter what RPM. I have searched and can't really find any specs. This is going into a 79 bronco by the way. ANy help appriciated. Thanks Lucas

SHOULD I GO FOR IT, OR WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH HASSLE. I HAVE 33S NOW. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST TIRES I COULD PULL WITH MY MOTOR. 400 WITH 4 BARRELL HOLLEY CARB. EDLEBROK INTAKE AND STARIGHT PIPES N SUCH

I ordered new body mounts from LMC and they are different sizes than the stock body mounts. It didnt come with any kind of diagrams showing which goes where, so my question is, how do I know which ones go where if they arent the same as what the stock ones look like? Anybody have a diagram or something? Thanks Travis

I thought I would do a little better thread on my soft top conversion? I started out with a used soft topper for a F150 pick up with 6.5' bed that I found on craigslist for $50, its used, but it was brand new, the guy never installed it on a truck and all the parts were there, it was sitting in his basement for years, but it was stored good and there is no mold or rott , it still had that NEW ...

need help getting my brake lights,back up lights workin on 78 bronco and turn signals need detailed help can take pics and post..

So I've replaced a rear main in my friends blazer before and it was a two piece. And I know mine is a two piece but I'm gonna be changing it here in a weekend or so and wanted a few tips on making sure it seals. Don't wanna be wasting my time if it's not gonna seal up right. Does anyone have a right up? Or some tips? Or pics. Just any help you can provide is great to make sure I ...

I searched but could not find what I was looking for, I have seen on here people talking about flipping the rear shackle mount upside down? to get more lift and articulation, how much lift is achieved, this is for a off road only rig, thanks..Rick I think I just found it? but I got two different answers is it 3" or 4"s

where do you guys mount your Fire extinguisher, if you have one? i don't have a roll bar or cage yet, thinking of mounting it on the floor, between driver's door and seat. any ideas?

Ok, I'm bouncing back and forth between 4"s or 6"s of lift. So maybe some pics would help me decide? That and I'm bored out of my skull today. I got some 35x12.5 BFG MTs and they'll either be on my 15x8.5 Western Wheel Turbines or some 15x10 black steelies.

I searched a bit, and couldn't come up with anything I'm looking for a write up on installing a basic 4 inch lift for a '79. Bushings, track bar, add-a-leaf's, stuff like that. I think I can figure it out but if there is any tips I would love to here them.

Fellas; Been thinking about going to U-Bolt Eliminators on the bronco. Just wondering if anyone else is running them on our trucks. I know allot of jeep guys run them. Thought that getting up to a 1-1 1/2 lift in the back is a benefit along with a little more flex and wheel travel. Paul

And I think I've lost my mind I haven't even finished the bronco yet. I was thinking about selling off all the spare parts I have left , but I changed my mind and I'm not doing that now, so after I finish with the Bronco I am going to take what is left and build a Truggy something like Slim Carter built it will take a while but its better then sending it off to the scrap yard I'll ...

I was board so I took the bronco for a drive around the block and was thinking I never checked the 4x4 when I bought it So I stopped on the road put the tranny in park shifted into 4lo and creeped forward for a couple hundred feet stopped and put tranny back in park and shifted out of low to try 4hi it went into neutral but when i tried to shift it into anything 2hi or 4hi or back into 4lo it ...
