Well I have had this bronco II for a While and it has been through a Lot it went from a 2.8 / C5 to 4.0 / power train about 7 years ago and got a 1993 dash and wiring put in it, now for the last 6 months it has been in the garage getting a Make over.
The plan for it is to make it a Street truck only so it is getting all of the body work done new paint, than for the power train it will be getting a warmed up 1997 5.0 with a AOD with a 1992 mustang computer and wiring. out back it will get explorer 8.8 with 3.73 gears and disc brakes. Up front is going to be interesting since it will only be a street truck and Nice weather driving it will no longer be 4x4 it will be a 2wd truck only.
The plan was to swap out the Bronco II engine cross member with a 2wd ranger one and use the ranger beams But I got lucky and found a 2wd Bronco II at a local Junk yard and I picked it up for a very good price.
The progess so far the paint is done all but the hood and rear gate.
7.5 is out and the 8.8 is going in this week.
4.0 and A4LD is coming out this week and the D28 is coming out and doing a test fit of the 2wd front end.
in the end I would like to lower it a couple of Inches both front and rear.
I hope to start posting up pic's of it soon.
