Put about 110mi on my 79 today. First real drive with the new fuel injection I put on it.
3000rpm and high load is going to be better than 3000rpm low load.Drove the Bronco to the storage unit.
nOOB question:
Does the Bronco's 5.0L engine know or care if it's doing 3,000RPM down a city street at 35MPH or a freeway doing 65MPH?
Meaning; 'blowing out the carbon' via high RPMs while driving on the street (carbon=stop and go/low RPMs), vs freeway miles.
Ah; Ok.3000rpm and high load is going to be better than 3000rpm low load.
Hook up a heavy trailer and hit the highway.
Yeah that'll do it.I towed an overloaded 12' UHaul trailer 1,000 miles in 2nd gear at 50 to 55MPH (3,500 to 4,500RPMs) the whole way.

The inside of the lense is what's dirty.Drag a wet paper towel across that mfer.
Fuck even my shit isn't that filthy.
You probably got your ps hose by now, but if you ever needed one in a pinch...e series van used the Saginaw pump and the ford steering box, the pressure hose is on the shelf at parts stores, just bend the hard line as neededHelped my buddy get the SAS explorer ready for United by Bronco in Sand Hollow this week. Decided not to take his Bronco because the weather, 4 doors/windows and a heater are hard to pass up. That meant taking the bead locks from the Bronco and putting them on this thing, clearancing the fenders, and ironing out some little issues. This thing just plain works well like an EB with a longer wheelbase and full width axles: New video by Charles Howard
I helped our mutual friend do this solid axle swap back in 2016.. he figured it all out and I just stuck the metal pieces together (he's passed away since then and my buddy had acquired it some time between all that) so it makes me happy to see it getting used: 78 Bronco axles 5.13, Detroit Front, Full Spool rear, 37" tires, James Duff long arms, 5.0/E4OD/Early Bronco D20.
On my 78 F150 I got the pulleys installed, AC compressor mounted, and the saginaw pump on, and only then realized I'll need a different high pressure hose (that's on order from Wild Horses). Slowly but surely in between all this rain we're getting.
i.e. not much at all since the engine and suspension/steering is in basically the same place and it's the body that's different, just bend the hard line as needed
Can you do a build thread on it?Got my E4od to ZF5 swap done, still have to button up a few things, but it drives again
460, small block is the same as far as everything you’ll need, small block ZF5, pedal assembly, modify or swap column, shorten/lengthen drive shafts (E4od is longer) the wiring and computer can be reused, basically a bolt in swap, easiest way is having a donor vehicle, will look more factory that way and less modificationCan you do a build thread on it?
I'm thinking of going this route as well.
What motor is it bolted to?
Thanks for the info.460, small block is the same as far as everything you’ll need, small block ZF5, pedal assembly, modify or swap column, shorten/lengthen drive shafts (E4od is longer) the wiring and computer can be reused, basically a bolt in swap, easiest way is having a donor vehicle, will look more factory that way and less modification
What's your T-case?
Do you know if the 351 shares the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the 460?
