Vehicle Description
This custom four-wheel-drive 1972 Ford Bronco underwent a
nut-and-bolt frame-off restoration powered by a new 351ci Windsor
fuel-injected V8 engine stroked to 408ci, mated to a C6 automatic
transmission. The engine's internal modifications include an Eagle
crank and rods, as well as forged icon pistons. An Edelbrock flat
tappet cam featuring 290/300 duration 496/520 lift lets the engine
breathe freely, while the Comp Cams double-roller timing set and
Melling high-volume oil pump keep it running smoothly. For
durability, a full ARP stud kit was utilized as well. Helping to
supply the airflow needs of the small-block is a set of Ford
Motorsport aluminum heads with 1.94-inch intake valves and
1.60-inch exhaust valves, 1.6-ratio Scorpion pedestal-mount roller
rockers and Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake, all topped by a Quick Fuel
Brawler Street 750 carburetor. An MSD distributor, 6AL high firebox
and Blaster II coil light the fire on the inside, while a four-row
radiator with electric fans keeps the whole package cool. Shifting
comes by way of a Ford C6 automatic transmission with a shift kit
and a Hughes 2200 stall convertor, along with a Lokar LED shifter,
oversized transmission pan and remote cooler with an electric fan.
Spent exhaust exits the engine through a set of Pypes 1.625-inch
shorty headers mated to a 2.5-inch exhaust with single-chamber
Flowmaster mufflers and H-pipe. Putting the power to the ground
comes by way of the Dana 30 differential up front and a Ford 9-inch
rear end with 4.10 gears and 31-spline axles outback. The chassis
and suspension have benefitted from a few upgrades as well. The
steering has been upgraded by WFO Concepts with radius arm dropped
brackets, 7-degree C-bushings, Saginaw power steering with a
quick-ratio steering box and a Flaming River tilt wheel. Ground
clearance is provided by a 3.5-inch suspension lift kit, a 2-inch
body lift, Bilstein reservoir shocks and a 23-gallon fuel cell. The
Mastercraft Courser MXT 35-inch tires mounted on black 20x9 Metal
Moto wheels add to the stance, while a front power disc brake setup
with a Wilwood master cylinder and booster provides the stopping
power. The exterior is finished in PPG yellow paint complemented by
a classic Bronco black stripe decal on the sides. To keep with the
color scheme, additions included a pair of black Halo LED
headlights, black Gorilla flares, black chrome-encased Ford grille
emblem, black powder-coated 6-point roll cage with matching leather
rollbar pads and an LED light bar, while Amp Research PowerSteps
make entry into the interior a breeze. The newly tinted windows can
be brought down with ease with black billet window cranks. New
reclining front seats and rear bench have been professionally
upholstered in black leather, complemented by yellow Bentley-style
double-diamond stitching and a black carpet kit. This is all
complemented by a custom dash with a Dakota Digital white LED
6-gauge cluster, USB port and rocker panels for the overhead LED
lights and exterior LED light bar. A new Flaming River tilt column
with power steering GT steering wheel and Lokar black billet pedals
help with control on- and off road. The custom center console
features a locking door, matching leather-upholstered arm pad and
USB power ports. The stereo system includes a Bluetooth/USB/CD
Kenwood head unit connected to a hidden JL Audio 5-channel 500-watt
amplifier that powers the four JL Audio speakers and 10-inch JL
Audio subwoofer, all housed in custom-built panels. The sale
includes a Bimini soft-top and build photos documenting the
restoration, along with the original speedometer. This custom
Bronco has approximately 2,200 miles on the new engine since
completion. ** PREVIEW
