It was also a 030 over 460 w/ p&p CJ heads 10.5/1. Had a big hydraulic roller, 1050 Holley w/100 shot NOS. Nothing radical at all, slightly lumpy idle, but very drivable. Torque out the wazzoo. Never dyno'd it. Took a bunch of weight out of the car, had it to about 3200#'s, caged & frames tied, 10.5 cheaters, 70/30's up front, Southside bars in the back, 3.91 9" rear. Car really hooked hard & went straight, would carry the fronts through most of first gear (C6, 3500 stall) Was just such a simple, fun car to drive, and a bit of a sleeper.
Started life as a 2.3 4cyl 5 speed!
Have you had yours on the track?
Many years ago I had it to the track it ran a best of a 11.27@122 mph[don't really want to put a roll bar in it] with no tuning N/A on pump gas through the mufflers C-4 automatic and 3.73 gears on 28x11.5x15" Mickey Thompson ET street tires!!!My car was also a 2.3 4 cylinder car but it came with a automatic!!!
Well damn, the project bin gets bigger and there goes another $5500....
TWO 1979 Bronco Freewheelin XLT Rangers
Unfortunately this first one cost more at $3500 but it's a fake (see the chrome headlight buckets that are supposed to be black). But it can be used for parts.
This one was only $2k and it still runs, it's also the real deal.
Also a brand new decal kit to finish it off and make it like new again!
This is what they look like after restoration:
My first vehicle was a bronco. I miss the days driving around with that top off...
