I got a lot of great response from my first post about the '53 Jeep, but I still would love more input.
I've basically got 2 good ideas at this point, and would really like advice about which is best...
One is to use an early 80's bronco w/ a 302... everything else he has will pretty much work.
OR... us a newer explorer (with the computer and everything else of course).
Quick rundown of the vehicle now:
'70's era 302, competition clutch, 4spd, 4:11 gears.
4bll Holley, with customized jets.
so I see a lot of pros/cons on both of these. I like the old-school power of the older bronco and how easily the customized carb would fit. But I also like the new 5.0L explorer, the fuel injection, the economy, the possibility of getting a power chip in it.
Also, I have come across another possibility. I can get a complete T-bird... mid-90's with a v8. It's not a 5.0L... a 4.9? I'm not sure at this time, but could get it for about a couple hundred bucks... anything worthwile there?
Tell me something I don't know.
Thanks,
Cody
