Can you put a 460 in a bronco

Some seriously stout front springs 4. Serious cooling system mods 5. The few that I have seen involved butchering the firewall and moving it back about 6". The master cylinder usually moves over to the clutch pedal side in order to clear the valve cover. Beyond that it is the standard fair of swappin over an engine that isn't a bolt in.

Exhaust, cooling, oil pan, hood clearance, motor mounts Allthough the frame is a which gives a little more room. He is running a EB body though. I'm sure he will post pics soon. I have two that I have installed 's into and they went in rather easy. No other cutting is invovled to install the I already have every thing for it. I'll have to wait on the stroker kit. Spent all my money building a ci ford for my boat.

I don't think we had to grind the block on this kit. But its not as easy as people say. The scatt crank I got was pretty far out of balance and needed alot of work to make it right.

I think the newer blocks are the one's you have to grind. The heads are just edelbrocks with alot of work. All times are GMT The time now is AM. Search all Bronco Links. Bronco Tech. User Name.

Some people have been able to use the front-sump pan on stock-height Broncos, but the general consensus is that the rear-sump pans are not only a better fit, but will be needed to keep the oil in the pan when driving up steep hills, so try to avoid front-sump pans if possible. Front-sump pans work fine in a passenger cars but are not adequate to keep the oil where it's supposed to be in a 4x4.

The E-Series vans, F-Series pickup, and some Lincolns already have rear-sump oil pans, but some Lincolns and some of the Ford and Mercury cars used front-sump pans. Exhaust Manifolds -- Again, if you have a E-Series van or a F-Series pickup engine, then your manifolds will fit in the Bronco. Some of them will work, some of them wont. Fortunately, most Ford products from the '70s used a standard set of accessories. In the case of the Bronco, all of its accessories will bolt up to the F-Series engines, and all but the PS pump will bolt up to the E-Series engines that came with the Saginaw pump just re-use the van's PS pump.

One word of caution when using the Saginaw pump on a Bronco: you might have to use a custom-built hose or at least a stock hose that has been modified to make it work properly with the Bronco's steering box. Chances are most of it will fit. Listed below is a chart showing each type of compressor Ford used and which year and model vehicle it was installed on.

FS-6 Harrison. Now it's time to round up the remaining "little" things that most people take for granted. This section covers the installation of the throttle cable, radiator hoses, and automatic trans kick-down linkage. Cables -- Most Broncos used a cable style throttle linkage. This type of linkage is very flexible and lends it's self to a variety of Ford engines.

Most 4V engines also had the cable type throttle linkage. Your Bronco's throttle cable should bolt up to these engines with only very slight adjustments. Some Broncos used a rod-type throttle linkage, and if your Bronco uses this setup, then you will have to either make a custom linkage rod or convert your Bronco over to the cable-type setup.

Hoses -- There are several types of hoses you can try when installing a Another person says that the lower hose from a '75 F 2WD with a will work perfectly after cutting about 3" off of the radiator side of the hose. The next time you replace the hoses they should have taken a permanent set and you can match them up to a pair of pre-molded hoses at you local auto parts store. This will allow the use of a factory style upper hose and allow for the installation of a heavy-duty 3 or 4 core radiator.

Linkage -- If your Bronco has an automatic transmission, then make sure you buy the kick-down lever along with your engine if it had an automatic. If the lever doesn't fit or your engine did not come with one, then simply use a kick-down lever from a F-Series pickup with a and automatic transmission.

Other Considerations. However, there are just a few other minor factors that you should be aware of when installing one of these power houses in your Bronco. Do what ever you like with it make it into a clock, throw it at someone you don't like, or whatever just don't reuse it!

If this is a problem, then you may want to consider purchasing new front coil springs. If your Bronco sits extremely uneven, then you might want to install a new set of "leveling" coils from companies such as JC Whitney and James Duff. Consider upgrading your radiator to a HD 3-core or 4-core radiator to keep your new engine running nice and cool See "Installing a Super HD Modine Radiator" on this site to see what I did on my Bronco.
