it is a '74. i think the sticker is still on the driver striker post has a 74 manufacture date. i sure thought it was a 302 because the old man i bought it from said it was a 302, i never got into it that deep. i just put a carb kit in, ran it a couple weeks to make sure everything worked, then started on the axles. what do you think it is??Originally Posted by BroncoJo

It's a 302. It has 72 and 73 cast codes on it so it might be the original motor
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
Valve seals are shot so I'll rock the 2.8 until I can build a 302 I want

I would focus the most on a "running" engine, then gearing. We don't need much power and engines can be a $$$ suck that can come back to later if it just HAS to have something beyond stock.
Looks like a fun project.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
as always I've been busy... New plan:
Tie cage to frame
Tie seats to cage
build track bar
extend front drive shaft
fuel cell (maybe boat tank, is that safe?)
Beat the piss out of it.
Who has some 32's for cheap?

I've got some 33x15.5 swamper sx's you can have. They're a little dry and not a lot of tread, but if you put them on 8" wheels you can run 0 psi.
And there's nothing wrong with a boat tank as long as you secure it with galvanized hanging strap.

My plan is pretty much just this
1. Build Track bar
2. Drive shafts
3. Fuel cell or something of that nature
4. Tie cage to frame
5. weld front and rear
6. those old 36 inch TSLs

On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
I agree
