Already got a new motor... This thing has 10k on a rebuilt 351 out of a 96 bronco so I'm gonna swap it over to mine.....
Re: 96 chase bronco
Thanks guys... Paid 800$ for it and It seems to run good. I drove it from Hemet to Dana point with no overdrive and it didn't skip a beat.... Gonna start ripping out the motor this weekend

Totally gnar gnar front bumper. Needs more chrome. Throw some of those stick on chrome air vents on it lol.
Re: 96 chase bronco
Ok so I worked on the bronco today and I think I can just get away with pulling the heads and rebuilding them...
There isn't any coolant in the oil and I did a compression check and all the cylinders are ~160psi. The motor turns over freely with all the plugs out...
I guess I'll know more once I pull the heads but I think the motor is gonna be fine...

Re: 96 chase bronco
Nice! Seriously, people can say what they want about these motors but I thought I blew the whole motor in my 96 like 3 times and every time it ended up being something relatively small and fixable.
Glad to hear it though, Minty gets more action shots than any running Bronco I can think of ha ha... If it wasn't for you guys it would just be Broncos on jack stands lol

Wow thats a nice thing to say! We dont want to let anyone down, she will be back in the dirt soon. Shooting for KOH!
Re: 96 chase bronco
So I'm 1/3 way there.
I'm hoping to have the good motor pulled out of the haggard bronco and set in mine tomorrow and then spend all day wednesday hooking up and dialing it all in-
