Post up the model you had before as it’s probably way more than enough

I dropped the aeromotive pump on the ground and broke off the outlet nipple. Great way to start the weekend but led into a pretty fun day drinking Saturday. I've decided to stay with a walbro gss340 which fits in the stock fuel pump module. The aeromotive pump will not fit in the stock module and would need a fabbed bracket. I wanted to keep the pump in the plastic module to keep it cool and quiet so the walbro fits the bill.
Motor is still at the machine shop and I'm hoping to get it back before June.

We got the new billet torque converter on and trans back in today. Waiting on the gasket that goes between the trans and transfer case then it will go on.
Got all the batter cables from battercables.com in place and the old stuff out.
Replaced the alternator plug pigtail and stator lead also.
Rear brake lines are off and going to be remade sometime this week.

Looking forward to seeing how the interior looks when you get it back in. I've been thinking about going the same direction with mine.

Happy Father's Day fellas.
Yesterday was hanging the transfer case, installing new rear brake lines and poly body mounts. What a pain in the ass the mounts are.
I found that using a 7/16 bolt screwed in from the bottom and a 3/4 drill bit from the top down about a quarter inch into the factory sleeve followed by a punch and a bfh to drive the sleeve out worked best. With 2 guys it's not bad. ImageImage

Hey Randy, glad to see you and wife back in the bronco game. I'm going to see the motor builder this weekend and details finalized . This has taken wayyyyy longer than I had expected but I'm sure the outcome will be awesome.

I personally would rather get a factory used one, buy put a new motorcraft pickup coil- DU-50 - $31.19 shipped of EBay and have a rebuilder go thru it. I guess the new stuff is just - well low on tolerances and QC.
