V8 Dana 60 bronco 2 build

[bearslayer2829]

Figured i'd start a build up thread for my Dana 60 front and Dana 60 rear V8 bronco 2. Got the Dana 60 rear so far just waiting to pick up a front Ford Dana 60. Going with 4 link front and rear once I get the money for that, gonna put it on leaf springs until then. Not sure if I wanna go with coil springs or air shocks just yet. Going to put an exo cage around it as well and possibly turn it into a truggy. Engine is a roller 302 bored .020 over with a small cam backed by a T5 trans, going to also put a aluminum intake on it with a 4 barrell carb and get rid of the 2 barrell that is on it now. Got away from the Zuki stuff and moved back to the almighty Ford blue engines.

Man I had a Bronco 2 as my first rig. It was bone stock with a set of 31" buckshots crammed under it. You had to physically hold it in 4lo the whole time. Haha I never did break anything though. Tough little truck.

I was thinking about some more along the lines of this one.

Is that #22 Herman Goddard? You in the Knoxville area?

Who you talking to 5brothers?

 

[5BrothersFabrication]

You!

Naw, there's a #22 on the hatch window, looks like Herman Goddard. He's been driving dirt late models around here since the 60's.

Nice build though!

That 2 barrel on that bottom bronco works great put u on ur lid no prob

 

[Bronco Buster]

Motorcraft 2150,s do very well off road even on steep angles they are nothing like having a 4 barrel.

 

[fordf250]

all of it is the orginal frame just been shortened a lil and beefed up

Nope no updates at all. Ended up having to leave it in Tennessee when I headed back to Colorado. Got someone wiring up the motor on it for me tho, plus i'm still gathering parts for the swap. NO i'm not gonna give up on this
