760hp 5.2 supercharged (GT500) Predator engine swap Bronco info thread

[5GENIDN]

Get some shops like 74weld to get in the business of making billet oil pans for different motors that fit around the Bronco subframe/Axle. maybe even dry sump. Someones gotta do it! The Bronco engine bay is actually pretty forgiving side to side. (if you dont mind moving batteries and modules out of the way). but the front axle and crossmember likes to get in the way.

Plenty of guys will make a custom pan, and I am sure someone already makes a dry sump for that block. Do not know where the coilover mounts are going to figure in.... It definitely would be a very tight fit.

If anyone can do it my money is on BMB.....

BB can't even program his own rack!!! how the hell do you think he could achieve this???? ROFL. here's how his would look....

better question: How do you make it fit?

Looks like plenty of room to me....this is the 5.0 and the dimensions are nearly identical.

Knew they had gone to a whole new suspension on the DR but did not know if Multimatic had moved any mounts... These pics appear to be unchanged... You are right! that is good news!

It already has a different oil pan for a FDU and the oil filter is moved to clear front axel as well! That's the excitement about this new version of the engine!!!

More than once I've thought how it would be nice to swap out ALL of this high tech JUNK that just adds cost and complexity and go low tech with a V8..... I miss my older trucks that were cheaper, more reliable and sounded better.

Anyone can program the rack with the excellent knowledge that you shared. It's almost paint by number.

I'm sure when the model T was a new thing plenty of guys said "man I sure miss my horse". It's all relative...once you are used to it, it's all nuts and bolts again!
