Just had this delivered yesterday 2-12-22 from southern Tennessee to michigan. The first thing I did was wash the salt off it from its ride up here. Now I start planning out my build. Plan so far is McNeil racing glass and dash Holley efi and going to swap to a 4r70w. Going to buy extended beams 12” coil overs and cage it. I’m undecided about the rear right now. I keep telling my self just keep it simple with leafs but I also want to just link it lol. As far as shocks go I’m going with Carbon Shocks 3.0 coil over front and 3.0 triple bypass rear. I would like to add a set of twin turbos once I have it up and running which is why I’m going with the Holley terminator x. That’s all for now I will try to keep this updated as I get parts

Keep us informed if you do the Big block.
You can get motor mounts from Bronco Graveyard.
I have been I have them contemplating the swap in my Bronco also. I was also looking for a good standalone fuel injection system to use on mine that I already had the multi-port injection I'm looking at the Terminator x working for me. You should check it out

Yes bronco graveyard is about 30 min from me. I used them when I built my 74 and my dads 68 and my brother-in-laws 74 we are currently building lol. My dads 68 has a twin turbo 5.0 and uses the terminator x works great. My buddy also uses it in his race cars

Nice score on that last one! Saves you a bit of work there and will go nicely with the beams you just ordered.

Based on bronco prices right now and with all those parts that seems like a steal!

Few parts have started to show up for this. I told my wife I wouldn’t work on it until I finish my 77 super cab build but that doesn’t mean I can’t order parts. I got my switch pro which I plan to use to run all my electronics in the bronco. I also got a 2:1 steering quickener my beams should be here in a week or so. I have my 460 up on a stand and getting ready to order a cam and gaskets for it so I can get it set in the frame.

Sounds boring... Was the 77 2wd or 4wd originally?
I have a '74 crew cab with a 12v and NV4500 sitting on the side yard. Mine only has a 78/79 d60 front and 2002 sterling 10.5 rear though. I had a '74 supercab that was supposed to be the desert toy but marriage and kids came along and the supercab left. Crew cab is "for sale" currently, but it's like selling off a kid so it hasn't left yet.

Original it was a 2wd but now it’s 4x4 short bed. It’s going to be my tow rig. It’s a flat bed and will live hooked to a trailer. I’m sure my dad will use it just as often as me. Lol

Nice tow rig!
Random, but if you know anyone with a supercab looking for a piece of the "race track" trim I have one here. It's the skinnier trim that would be toward the bottom of the body. It's supercab specific and I grabbed it from the junk yard years ago so it didn't get scrapped as they are hard to find. I put it on the facebook early ford groups off and on but haven't found anyone who needs it yet.

Right on I didn’t not know any one other than my self with super cabs but will keep it in mid if I see anyone looking. I need to get more recent pictures of the truck but haven’t worked on it in a while. I will be pulling it out of the barn this week to take it to my dads and set up my rear suspension on it. He has a lift and that’s where my mill and lathe are his shop is heated all the time and mines not

My beams and coil overs came in yesterday! I can’t wait to start building this! I also started assembling the 460 that’s going to be in this. Cleaned the block up put the ported dove heads on it and sat the intake on it. I have also installed the cam and lifters and roller rockers since I took this picture.
