So the 96's have 3 O2 Sensors? And a MAF? Do they have more HP then the older model EFI 351's with all the engine management that they have?

They dont make the one for the 96's anymore so you have to weld in 3 new O2 bungs and plug the one that comes with it.

The bronco goes to the shop some time next week for a few finishing touches and some maintence. Wiring the compressor for the rear locker, installing the punisher valve body and trans cooler,installing the new drag link, rear diff service, deaver coils and limit straps front and rear.
Now my brother tells me the ac compressor might have taken a shit. He says the 3 bolts on the pulley for the compressor were smoking when he took the bronco to get registered, it lasted a few minutes then went away... Anyone else ever heard of this? He sent me a few pics, ill attach them when im off work.

Nice grab on David Kenndy's old Bronco. He gave that thing away. Has a ton of great parts, the sad part is he replaced in with a diesel suburban if I remeber correctly.

I imagine the compressor is locked up. It smoked the A/C clutch. Either that or the electro magnet is going to crap and smoked just the a/c clutch (not likely).
