How long before it becomes a toy (sbf etc.)

[5.0Maverick]

How long does one wait before they gut one of these pigs and stuffs it with the good stuff?

I’m talkin 302/351 built trans, cut finders, sfa swap and wild body armor.

How long do I have to wait (Years and/or miles) before I can realistically convince myself that I’ve soaked the full value and I can ribirth it like a beastly pheonix from the ashes of modernity?

You won't do it. You don't have the grapes!*

I think you meant a Flathead, 351 windsor or 390 FE.... I'm willing to throw a FE in there with a 9" rear. Just need to have the Bronco long enough to blow up the motor and have Ford refuse service. Then you have to work with what you got!

When it comes time to put 40's on it.

As we can see 33/35's will get you pretty far, essentially Dana 44's front and rear.

Big dollar IFS/ bigger axle (like hammers cars run) vs. 3-link long arm SFA swap. How much do you want to spend ??

As far as engine, Godzilla swap would be the way I would go.

Beautiful.. FE's and Flatheads are in a league of their own.

I’m just getting really excited for these trucks. My mind runs away with ideas sometimes. I can’t wait to use the truck as a fun daily. I can’t wait to dabble in some overlanding and finally I can’t wait to tear it down build it up and beat it to holy hell. I would’ve done it with a jeep but I have a thing for fords and I guess reliable well built cars in general.

I believe I saw somewhere a company that specializes in LS swaps is wanting to get a hold of the first one that someone LS'd so that they can make a kit. It'll probably be done on a hotrodding/offroading show I'd guess around late '21.

Carburetors are great and I have one on my racecar, but EFI is the way to go for a daily driver or even one that sits around a little bit. Ethanol fuels kill carbs in just a few years.

Fingers crossed someone finds a way to shove a coyote in there! Or even a diesel swap would be cool to see.
For those of you that hot rod.... is it easier to engine swap and get everything to play nice if you go with the manual trans?

It becomes a toy the moment I sign the Bill of Sale.?

Other than the engine swap, I see Wranglers only a few years old with a lot of that stuff. Guy on my block has a 4 door Wrangler all decked out, with wheel cutouts and armor. I've pulled and re-installed engines before. But swapping in a new vehicle, as I'm sure you know there will be emissions and other restrictions. But otherwise will be interesting when someone eventually loads a V8.

I've heard it through the grapevine, but can't confirm that there is a company out there that has advertised for folks to bring them their Bronco for a 5.0L swap out. Haven't heard any prices, but you know it won't be cheap if it's true.
