Since I'm putting a 460 in my '79 I'm going to be selling a 400 .040 over, 22,000 miles, with new uninstalled Edelbrock cam, lifters, timing set, & intake. Also: Holley 600 carb, NP435, NP205, front & rear axles, new clutch kit, can't remember off hand what else, been collecting parts for a long time."

    Charles what are thinking for a price on that motor?

    I was just informed I do not have to go to the birthday party if I don't want to. The wife said I would probably be bored anyway. I'm in.

    Sean, I'll let it go for what I have in it if I don't have to hassle with Craigslist. You want the extra parts? (cam, intake, carb, etc) I will have to look up some receipts & notes. I can't remember all the parts I have bought over the past 4 years, but not going to need them for a 460.

    Sunday I pulled the 1405 Edelbrock off the Bronco and switched it out with the 1406 Edelbrock off the 57. Right off the bat it flooded, but once I got that issue taken care of it ran like it has a radical cam in it. After installing the manual choke cable it helped some but not enough to run as smooth as it did prior to switching carbs. On the plus side it did not smoke any longer but you could really smell it was burning rich. Going to make some calibrations to it and see where it ends up and if not enough to pass the E test I will put the 1405 back on and make adjustments on it to lean it out. Had to order a calibration kit for the 1405, fuel pressure regulator, fuel gauge so I can make sure that the pressure is not above 5psi ( Edelbrock's recommended limit), which should all be here today.

    Also removed some of the wiring that went nowhere, little by little it is coming out of the vehicle which will make it easier when I do the new harness.

    JRs Bronco had a wire that ran out of the underside of the HVac box
    Spliced to 2 wires that splised to another two wires.
    Non of them hooked to anything. Even under the dash...

    Well all the parts ordered Sunday came in yesterday so i know what I am doing here shortly, also got the new seals ordered yesterday for the tailgate and rear window. Only one more set to order and the is the ones that lay on top of the bed rails for the top then the passenger compartment will be all sealed up from the elements and any unwanted things.

    Also found this pic of another 78 Bronco that is a pretty Bitchin machine.

    The frame pics are of the inner structure he made to hold everything together for the tilt front end.
    Also included is a pic of the type storage compartment I want to build for the back of the Bronco with a padded top for the dogs to lay on.

    That seems like a lot of frame on the hood for an easy system.
    I used 2 fence hinges, drilled out the pins & replaced them with receiver pins.
    Welded one side to the frame and bolted the other to the front core body mounts.
    Also used two more smaller pins on the upper rear mounts, off the fire wall.
    With some modified trailer fender & one weatherpack plug.
    Still had an operable hood, open the hood, pull the rear pins & tip the fenders forward.
    Pull the plug & the two front pins and set the front clip off to the side in about 5 mnts...
    Wished I had pics !!
