Nice! I have to pull the motor back out. Low pis when warmed up so I’m thinking a rod or main isn’t happy.

Re: 94 Raptor killer

Did you ever start linking this thing? I’m in the planning stages of doing that on mine. Seems hard to find linked bronco’s for go fast applications

Re: 1990 go fast bronco “Eddie “

Right now I will start getting a parts list and watching market place ect for deals. In the meantime I hope to ...

Re: 1990 go fast bronco “Eddie “

I have been working on getting my barn emptied out and cleaned up for the winter. And it’s just about there so I decided to bring this home to my shop. It will make it easier to work on at home. Plan is to knock out the wiring at home. I will also do some more cage and sheet metal work on it here. h...

Got some time to work on this again now that my vacation is over and ribs have healed. I made my brackets for my double swing steering and I’m going to start on the wiring.

I saw the SwitchPro and had assumed it was more for lights and that sort of thing. It was the lone toggle and the push-button in the panel that triggered my post.

I'm guessing based on the wet ground and the lack of smog check concern that you're not in KA. ;) Some time ago I had a project Baja that got stalled by massive work over-time and then a friend talked me into selling it to him.
