George S. 77 Bronco
George knew
what he wanted right away, MORE POWER!! he had an original 302/ 3 spd/
alum intake with an old 4bbl, same old story, some rust repair on the cowl
and he wanted it fresh and ..did I say, MORE POWER??!!

this is how she
showed up, nice color scheme, but definitley needing engine compartment
work

the old
engine compartment and engine, not bad, the rusted cowl was another story
tho.

let's start with
the cowl, I think the ford designers started off with the cowl, then built
the bronco around it.. the windshield bolts to it, the hood bolts to it,
the dash bolts to it, the brake and clutch assembly bolts to it and it
is the main support for the cowl and upper firewall. needless to say, it
was a ton of fun!! anyway, they actually had a replacement cowl part, from
JBG, that fit great and made life a lot easier...

engine compartment
and underside all cleaned up, rust treated and sprayed with Herculiner,
much nicer!!

ahhh, now who
da man??!! Ford Racing crate motor, gotta love opening crates like this!!
306/340hp/9-1comp/alum head/feels like love, but I know it's lust...

engine in, tuned
and sounds frickin' great!! the flowmasters really have a rumble now..
added 3.5" suspension
lift (it had 2"sus/3"body), 1.5" wheel spacers, raised the front bumper
to match the body lift, sitting pretty and ready to rock.
I'll be
adding 4:30 gears and front cage kit to his existing main hoop. more pics
coming!!!!
