This custom 1978 Ford Bronco 4x4 is powered by a 351M that was sourced from a 1979 Bronco and sent to Matt's Engines, where it was bored and fitted with a 400 crank. TMeyer supplied the pistons and Edelbrock aluminum heads with rockers. An E220996 Erson roller cam was installed. MSD supplies the spark through a Pro-Billet distributor and coil. The Edelbrock intake is topped with a Quickfuel double-pumper 750cfm carburetor fed by a TSP mechanical fuel pump. This 408ci engine recorded 452hp and 524 ft/lbs at the flywheel on the dyno. The Ford assembly line Build Sheet was discovered under the carpet on the passenger side. It was removed and preserved as much as possible before being laminated. The suspension is a 5-inch lift kit from Broncograveyard.com that utilizes Deaver springs. The shocks that came with the kit were set aside in favor of higher-quality Fox IFP standard travel shocks. Steering is handled by the original refurbished steering wheel through a new Ididit tilt steering column. Wild Horses Inc. supplied the polished lower steering shaft that turns the Red-Head Steering Gears steering box. The power steering pump was upgraded with a Saginaw/Delphi steering pump kit from Wild Horses. The 3.50-ratio front Dana 44 had its seals, bearings and axle shafts replaced. Outer axles, hubs and bearings were also replaced. The Ford 9-inch rear had the front pinion seal replaced. The driveshafts were built new to compensate for the 5-inch suspension lift. White wagon-wheel-style 15x10 steel wheels are wrapped with 35-inch Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP tires. The body was prepped and sprayed to match the original Ford #5574-A Bright Yellow paint. The underbody and inner fenders were prepped and sprayed with undercoating. The fiberglass top was prepped and sprayed with white Raptor Liner coating inside and out. The original front, side and rear aluminum trim and front grille piece was sent out to have all the dents and scuffs repaired, stripped and polished before being reinstalled. All emblems were replaced with Dennis Carpenter reproductions. New sideview and rearview mirrors were replaced with new reproductions of the originals. The glass, felt, rubber and weatherstripping was replaced with new. The engine is kept cool with an original-style Cold-Case aluminum radiator, twin electric fans and shroud. Engine exhaust is routed through ceramic-coated Hooker long-tube headers and a 2.25-inch Hooker dual-exhaust system. Power is sent to the rebuilt C6 transmission through a torque converter built by TCI. The original NP205 transfer case was taken apart and resealed. A JB Custom Fabrication twin stick conversion was installed at that time.
