The story

i bought this bronco off of ebay from a guy in yankton south dakota had it shipped to my house. it is actually pretty clean for a northern truck not alot of cancer just mainly surface rust. a friend of mine told me to leave it the same color and get a window sticker that said booger so the name fits for now — jjlee76

Engine: for now it just has the 351m in it im debating if i am just going to pull that and go with a 460 or make a stroker motor out of the m just to do something different we will see..... ok have finally decided to go with the stroker motor found a guy that has a couple of running 351ms for a 150 apiece going to get at least one of them here in a couple of weeks and start tearing down and rebuilding what will eventually be roughly a 406 cubic inch motor depending on how much i bore it out. with rough estimates i will be looking at anywhere from 350 to about 450 horsepower and not sure on the torque but i will keep ya'll posted
Drivetrain: c6 keeping that keeping everything else the same got the nine in back may do a disc convertion on that but everthing else stays the same for a company here in amarillo that make the brackets for holding the calipers for 35 apiece
Mileage: 121,000
