So, I’m finally building my own engine for the F100. Enough of other people’s engines, it’s time for one that won’t be coming out (hopefully) anytime soon. This 351 Cleveland short engine came out of an ex employer’s Falcon Utility (our version of the Ranchero) and was removed because of varying fac...

Hey Rod, how did that electric fan setup work for you long term? It concerned me that you were not running a fan shroud with them. I am running a Vintage Air 18 inch monster fan and shroud on my 86 Bronco 302. It has worked ok in the sand dunes, but I am upgrading to a 427 stroker after I swap the ...

Bugger it, exactly what I'm looking for and they are too far away and too costly to get.

Looking good, Randy. Thank you Rod. Still a long way to go but at least the front suspension is sorted. I've been debating whether or not to go back to stock steering or build a swinger for it. Not a double, just a single to help with the bump steer. What are the difference in street manners? My wi...

Looking good, Randy.

Holy moly wat a wild goose chase I had. After getting everything installed w/ the 5 speed I had a horrible grinding sound. Long story short. After having the trans in and out of the truck 4 times, 2 new pilot bearing, ordering and returning a few hundred $$ in parts; I learned...... F-series/bronco...

Dang, was hoping it was more like Klamath Falls. Hermiston is about as far north as you can go and still be in Oregon, and quite a ways East. Used to have to go up there from Central Oregon on occasion for farm equipment parts. If they're willing to part it out and ship the outer assemblies, the sh...

Where in Oregon? Bert's Auto Salvage, 30775 Baggett Lane, Hermiston OR. 97838 541-567-5159 or 800-854-1455 The vehicle stock # is 180514. There is a complete 10 bolt 8 lug under it for $275. I've sent an enquiry for just everything out from the knuckles. I've also made several enquiries regarding a...

Found a complete 10 bolt 3/4 ton front axle for $275, however, it's in Oregon. Bloody hell.

Might ask the seller of the single 3/4t part if they have or can get two of them.

He only has the one, but he will look around for a pair, if available.

Those are for the 1/2 ton trucks - specifically states so right in the ad.

Todd Z.

Noticed that right off the bat, so didn't bother to enquire.

I'd ask specifically if those work with the 3/4t, ~12.5" OD rotors as they look like the 1/2t parts that I removed from the '91 Sub to put the 3/4t stuff on it. Absolutely. That is the reason to call and confirm they use the 3/4 ton rotor size. :D If not, I'll keep on searching for the correct ones.

All good info. FWIW, Jeep J20 8 lug is all the same as the chevy K20 3/4 ton and sub. I've actually converted a TTB to SJ 1/2 ton 6 lug, although the grinding on the knuckle required to clear the caliper I wouldn't recommend on a road going vehicle. It worked just fine and I never broke a knuckle of...

Ok, here is what I have for an 8 lug conversion on the 80 - 96 TTB 5 lug Bronco/F150. Most of the parts are available new at partsmike.com. This is a list of all the parts needed: wmprice.jpeg I am currently trolling ebay for any of the above parts I can get here in Aus, the rest I'll source from US...

My 351C engine kit cost me US$660, with the grand total US$935 after shipping and duties/taxes. Ouch. after working some aussies who build ultra4 cars (which there is no where to race down then because of the stupid motor size restrictions) it is insane to me there is even a racing scene let alone ...

You *might* have some luck using searchtempest to see if you can find the parts that way? I'm sure that we can organize rounding them up and getting them to you one way or another. I've shipped stuff to him a few times before when he gathers parts from here in the US, but shipping anything that hea...

Yeah, that EDIT button would be nice to have back. My 3/4t parts came off of a Craigslist ad. I bought a pair of axle housings with a bunch of parts missing. A high pinion D44 live axle from a '79 FSB/F-150 (I think it was, TZ?) that someone had added the GM front parts to (building their idea of a...

Rod, the backing plate will be the hardest part to source outside of a yonke. I've come across the wheel hubs, stub spindles, and the outer axles in various places on the net. Used to be that you could find the brackets on ebay, but I've had no luck this morning. You will need D44 TTB 6 bolt knuckl...

I already have a rear D60 from a mid 70's F-250 (I *think*), 4.56 gears, bearings (diff & wheel), Mark Williams bearing caps, Dutchman drive-axles, an Explorer RDB kit, and an OX locker (air, not cable). It will stay 8 lug and I now have five 17x8.5 8 lug wheels (3.5" BS) and 315 R17 BFG A/T's. I'v...
