Who has 2 thumbs, just got his tax return, and already spent a chunk of it on an Ebay long block?

I’ll be down 2 cylinders, but less likely to be left stranded on a roadside.

Long live Bronco

Good stuff. Did you end up with the I6 I linked on slack?

Nice choice, you should definitely put a turbo on it

What did you have before the 302 or the 351?

That’s a bold strategy Cotton!

I keep debating between the 300 and the 351 for my project truck. Why the I6 in your case?

I remember doing a tiny bit of research on the 4.9 and it was better than the 5.0 in almost every way. The 5.0 had a few more horsepower that was it.

There were a few that left the factory that way.

Yeah, pretty much. And you can match the 5.0 hp with some bolt-ons.

The used ones are a hell of a lot cheaper on eBay.

No, I looked at like 10 others before finding one of the only ones that wasn’t from the rust belt.

351

Just a humble 4.9, from a wrecker in the rust-free state of Florida Man.

Good of a reason as any. I’ve also noticed that they’re a whole lot easier to find with a manual.

And you can’t kill it. Ever.

Just seeing this, well shit, does that shop manual still help?!

Probably, but it was destroyed in the fire so we may never know.

Oh right, damn, i don’t know why i was thinking it arrived afterwards, especially giving that little bronco did not survive.
