Re: Hollander's New Bronco

Damn, that is a bad ass Bronco for sure. I’m not gonna lie though, your last Bronco is possibly one of my favorite Broncos ever! Lets see some pics of that Big Block!
I assume the wide 3G’s fit without any problem? I’m a big guy myself and i’ll be looking for some seat options.

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

I would bolt the brackets on but also add a couple .5" to 1" stitch welds that is easily accessible with a cut off wheel. I say this because these beam pivots take a lot of torque especially with the added leverage of a drop down bracket. Unless the holes are overlayed and reamed for perfect fit wi...

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

Are you caging your bronco? I only ask because there is a chance of the frame cracking from being boxed without a cage. The reason is these frames are meant to twist like crazy. I’ve seen frames crack from being boxed. A cage would stiffen it up considerably and you wouldn’t have to worry about a c...

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

That's kinda what I was leaning towards. I think I will replace the hardware and just swap back to stock length when I go extended C&T. I am currently welding up the front crossmember and boxing the frame so that's why I asked. It would be easier to weld the drop brackets now with no engine/transmis...

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

Question for anybody out there in the know, How bad is it if I leave the Rancho drop down brackets if I weld them to the front crossmember? I plan to widen the front end 3-4" per side in the future and i'd hate to go backwards if I had to cut the drop down brackets off to install stock brackets for ...

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

Damn, boy.. You’re a BADASS!!! Building a wicked Garage like that on your own AND putting together new LS powered GFB project takes huge cajoles. I love it, totally inspiring. Keep it going brother! LOL, well thank you. It's just been a lot of years in the making and trying to be as frugal as possi...

Re: LS3 Swap Questions

I picked up a complete GMPP wiring harness with fuse panel, ECU, electronic pedal, MAF sensor with weld in bung, 02 sensors with bungs for around $1000. The wiring harness is badass and will run your electric fans and fuel pump like OEM. I also picked up a front accessory drive from GMPP with all th...

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

Well....... FINALLY back on the Bronco. It's been a long time coming with moving, building a garage, saving for a lift and installing it, etc. BUT I was able to get working on it this weekend. I removed a TON of weight mostly getting it ready to box the frame rails. So far I removed all 6 shocks, fr...

Re: Black954's 81 Silver Lake sand dunes build

Not much progress on the Bronco. I did get some matching 4.56 gears for the 9" and I got a sweet deal on a PowerMaster XS starter. I've also been working on the garage quite a bit. I just finished up installing siding on 2 sides. I should have the rest done in a week or two and then it's back on the...

What brand is the gear set? are you willing to ship to Chicago? I'd be interested in the gears and yoke.
