    Nice Bronco! I've thought about swapping in a Toyota engine and drive train to make the Bronco have some of that great reliability but a 4Runner engine like the 5VZ-FE probably isn't powerful enough without some heavy modifications. Dad's 5VZ-FE 1998 4Runner has 237,000 miles and besides a little oil leaking, runs like new. It'll be interesting to see how you get the Chevy engine to function in a Bronco. I'm guessing your either bringing over the Chevy ECU or going with a basic carburetor setup.

    • @BabeApprovedRides
      @BabeApprovedRides День тому

      That would be a neat swap to see as well! I’ll be bringing over essentially everything Chevy. Engine, trans, transfer case, and the ECU. All functions from stock bronco to still work including gauges. Will be a fun swap for sure!

It is a 3/4 ton 4 x 4 with a Dana 44 front axle and a 14 bolt free float rearend . Underneath is real clean , the body has some small rust and patina . interior is pretty rough from the California sun . I would like to get 10,000. Runs great .

    I drive a 1971 Chevy Suburban k20 4 x 4 with a 14 bolt free float rearend and a Dana 44 front axle. It was sitting in California not driven since 1994 . It is rock solid underneath but has patina and some small rust spots on the body and of course the interior is shot from sitting in the California sun . It is now back just 1 hour from where it was born in Flint Mi. When I take it out I get thumbs up all the time. It has 2 tone paint and I think the main coat is the same color as your truck.
