Thought I would post up what I have been up to.

This is the "Street Truck", it is my '89 XLT, It started life as a 5.0/aod

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap This_is_what_i_started_with.

I did a 6" superlift TTB lift

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap Broncofest_2002_118

Did a 351 swap, mass air

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap Dsc01678

D44 SAS

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap Sas-swap-377

9" rear

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 6309-080


I have never been happy with the 351/aod, I get crap mileage, and It was just time for a change for me.


I picked up this truck

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap For-sale-005

It has a 460 EFI and a ZF 5 speed.

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap For-sale-009
89 Bronco 460/ZF swap For-sale-010

I will post lots of pics as I go along.

Very Happy

Now to deal with this mess

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-046
89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-047

Engine compartment harness came out because it is modified for mass air and I figure it should be easier to just use the F250 harness

I will be using the f250 frame standoffs, and factory F250 mounts.

I was pulling the upper intake off, and bumped the broom handle i was using to prop up the hood. Of course then the 75 pound hood crashes into the back of my head full force and shoves my forehead into the very exposed and very metal water pump. 3 nice dents in my head, and one of them was bleeding pretty good.

This is after some cleanup from my girlfriend.

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-165
89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-167

Hurt a bit, but back at it.

Hood off.

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-149

Clean in the valley, no sludge at all

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-154

coming out

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-158

Did some firewall damage, but I didnt care at this point. Motor did not come out easy with the zf5 attached. I am pretty sure I will install them seperately in the bronco.

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap 460-swap-163

Its on the floor with the 351. If you look closely there are 7 engines total in that area. :doh0715:

This thing had a one piece gasket on it, which I find odd. Tells me it has been apart recently.
