Hey guys i know you are going to say search but i have and have read for countless hours on this and have had most of my questions answered but still have a few.
First ill give you a run down of whats happening, I have an 86 bronco 2 with the 2.9 in it that im trying to blow up but it just wont go, and i am planning to swap in a 5.0 FI engine out of a 1991 f-150 along with the AOD thats in it.The engine has 36000 km on it, no i didnt forget a 0 it was a remanned engine and the truck was written off after just 36000 kms.
So far i have collected:
-motor mounts
-radiator
-oil filter relocation
And know i need:
-AA adapter
-Headers
-FPR
And am missing:
-? anyone think of?
My plans are to send the tranny out when i get the AA and get it rebuilt and the tailshaft put in, then I will be putting a few things into the engine such as cam and some GT40p heads and get them portmatched and pollished.
Does anyone sugest an intake and cam for mild, offroadable lowend power?
What do you think of the james duff headers? i have always liked the longtube design but im not looking to beat the sh*t out of brand new headers to make them fit? has anyone here used them? Any other better suggestions?
What wires am i looking to have to splice in the bronco harness? i know things like the guages(oil pressure, power, temp) but what else? I am very good at wiring as that is alot of what i do all winter(remote starters along with car audio and video) just need some quidence as I use alldata for my wiring and they are all broken into separate categories.
Thank you all for your help in advance you are all great.
