Working Over A Junkyard 460 Big Block For A '79 Bronco - Trucks! S9, E5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2019
- Our Bronco is back and we're working over the junkyard 460 big block we got with our Bronco for maximum torque. After that, we're going to get the frame up in the air with a new lift kit and 37in tall tire, then we'll mate the body back on the chassis to get this behemoth ready for some more low buck work.

We'll continue to post these episodes here on UA-cam. If you can't wait for the rest of the build, visit our site to binge-watch: www.powernationtv.com/shows/trucks
I would if the videos on you website worked...
Woohoo 👍 thank you
I was hoping for a dyno run on the engine......... :(
The videos for this build won't play!
Darn it Kev, the females in my neck of the woods have me searchin for more videos with you in it. You all are great in my book, Rock On! 👍👍 🇺🇸
That argon trick is dope AF. Not just with hardener, but anything that will go bad in contact with air. THAT is why I watch these things. If I get one nugget out of it, it's a win
Even works for wine...not that a bottle often gets left half-full here.
These episodes make me nostalgic. Been following your shows long before PowerBlock was even a thing.
You guys have always been amazing! Thank you for all you have done over the decades to support all us motorsports guys that live and breathe this type of content!
I used to watch this show 10yrs ago on spike. Thanks for putting it up on UA-cam!
Finally a build that doesn't cost 100 grand! It even has an engine that can be daily driven on the street. It's refreshing to get away from "street" engines with parts designed for 4000-9000 RPM. Nice job!
I've watched a lot of similar videos but this is one of the few showing the proper way to use a torque wrench. That means pulling the handle towards your body instead of away. I was taught the proper way when I was in the Air Force and I was glad to see this video torquing properly.
Take pride in your job...3 minutes later starts bolting brand new stuff to a rusty ass frame 😂
It's surface rust in Tennessee not upstate NY, smh
😄
whelp, didn't disappoint installing the cam. Always be sure to smash that cam in there to be sure to gouge the bearings.
I'm surprised he didn't just beat it in with a hammer.
dave1135 lolol
I appreciate you putting in the big block. It’ll have a lot more low end torque and really doesn’t hurt gas mileage on a 4x4
I love the 78 and 79 Broncos.
T J they are huge.
They had a 79 for sale at the Ford dealership down the street. $46,000
HighFlyer Yeah, nice ones are only increasing in value.
@@9HighFlyer9 tell em to keep it for half that price.
This build was my favorite by far. Refer to it often for our 79 Bronco build. 👍
Great build but why wouldnt u paint the frame and the body while u have them separate from each other ??
No kidding. At least do a two-hour wire brush job and Rust-oleum spray. Jesus.
dude stop giving tips , the clip you just saw is from 2007
Then why would they reup load an old clip ?? Just make $$$ ??
@@nickosbye in 2007 rust wasn't a problem?
To make people like u ask questions
This Bronco is going to be bad ass!!
Good luck with those motor mounts, I built a 460 for my f250 and it ripped the motor mounts apart twice... I ended up making solid motor mounts
Neil Amalfitano what upgrades did you do to the motor? My motor mounts work just fine on a pretty stock 460 in my 90 F250.
Eldon Triggs nothing fancy 10.5:1 pistons an rev cam and a little head porting......maybe I got chinesium motor mounts
Eldon Triggs also is your 460 a pre 1972.
@@amalfi460 nope, the block I rebuilt is from an 88 E350 bus. I've gotten cheap motor mounts before and regretted. A lot.
I think I would grind those ports before I put the valves in?
Great tip on keeping hardener fresh. How inert of you. Thanks for that.
nice to see somebody doing a job like that. I cut and shorten a 79 Bronco frame. put a 1990 Ford Ranger body on it put a 460 in it with a C6 trans ARB air lockers. and much more now I'm selling it
All these shows doing rebuilds have one thing in common- everyone is afraid to rebuild transmissions or even learn how. If you can build an engine, you can build a transmission. And, if you can afford a 2-post lift, you can afford the few specialty tools for common transmissions.
Thanks for the inspiration, I got my dad 79 bronco. A timeless machine
I had a baby blue 1979 bronco with the 351 m with a truck stander with granny low first gear. I saw it when i was at Raf Beantwaters and had to have it !!! I tried get get one new in 1978 but there was a long waiting list and you had to take what ever one they had , and it was yellow.
I love how this show seems like it was made in the late 90's early 2000's 😊
Wasnt it 🤔
Lol idk thought it was new episodes
@@Dbj6988 nope...These guys don't do these shows anymore
2007
The copyright date at the end of the show is 2007
TIP when installing a Ford Transmission that has a Drain plug on the front of the converter. use a 7/16 six point deep socket over the drain plug to align the drain plug with the hole in the flex plate.. the converter studs will pop right into place when you slide it all together..
That's genius and thank you! The first ford I put together was a few hours of swearing. I can get them together pretty easy now, but I will DEFINITELY try this next time!
Great tip. thanks
I would have at least coated the chassis with some kind of liner or other coating to stop the rust. But I remember this project and I loved it.
I am surprised you did not paint the frame while you had it torn down. Looks and longevity.
Best tip I saw was at the end with the Argon gas to save the hardener.
Edelbrock..sideways on trails. LOL, not without mods! These guys are hilarious...
Great build and great transmission!
Oh the 70's. I remember those big iron slug 460's in . Took any kind of gas didn't care
This is a great build....
All i need is the shop !!!!😃
I knew there would be atleast 1 comment of . I'm not a Ford guy but. Gotta love it
Hurried work is worried work...They are Half-Assing that poor Bronco together.
It's a tv show, what the hell did you expect?
Im glad im not the only one who thinks this
ua-cam.com/video/BeRbR95SjQ4/v-deo.html Which one of these Broncos would you like to drive? and this one isnt perfect look at the passenger side headlight fitment
"Half assing that poor bronco" he said. Bruh this truck spent its day rotting im the dump. They're showing people that even a dump like this can be salvaged into a cheap weekend off-road fun ride.
That's good trick with the paint hardener. I have that problem with polyurethane. I buy it by the quart and it always forms a scab in the can that I have to break out and in the long run I waste quite a bit. I wonder if propane would work the same way. It's heavier than air and would displace the oxygen the same way.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
Headers would make way more torque down low.
So that's what I've been wondering, I need the torque more than the HP and every other vid says Headers over manifolds, but not here??
We got some clearance Clarence!
Hey Kevin, we want some black Eastwood paint on that Frame.stop that rust. Looking forward to seeing it fly thru the trails...
Eastwood wasn't a sponsor in 2007 when the episode aired....
I like how they replaced the whole truck with aftermarket parts but it always saved money.
the hardener tip at the end, they forgot to tell their viewers to loosen the tension roller so the welder does not feed the wire into the can
and do all that grinding of ports with an assembled head.....
good enough for a found on the road dead
I have watched dozens upon dozens of videos of people like you rebuilding this and rebuilding that,, and one thing comes to mind,,, you have more money than sense,,,,,, or too much time on your hands
Exactly, none of these guys have any clue what building on a budget really means!!! They can put together anything they want with an endless budget to work with. I wish we all were independently wealthy so we could all build our dream play toys!!!!!
That D.O.T. yellow might be loud, but it's still better than forest service green like my Bronco.
Nice job
At 13:50 you said the larger tires gave you an extra 4 or 5 inches of height. I believe that a 5” bigger tire only gives you 2 1/2 inches of additional height.
ford 460 external balance,
should the flexplate weight be facing the 12 o'clock position ?
or be facing 180 degs the other way in the 6 o'clock position?
in relation to the hatchet weight in the front.
please help me, thanks
Yea man, drops right in. Lol
The best year of the Bronco
I like that they used the same rusty body bolts because everyone in this comment section knows damn well they would be doing the same thing I know o would if it ain't broke then reuse them not like they are torque to yield or nothing
I like this guys
Wondering if it’s an early hi-compression 460 or a later low-compression 460?
I know you said low buck or on the cheap but at least you could of cleaned the frame and painted since it was apart already and you also showed reusing a rusty bolt that look half way rusted through securing the body back to the rusty frame. Oh I love the concept of a low buck build and this fits the bill nicely.
Not a ford guy but I do like this bronco
Cool build, but they should've done something with that frame.
You need to put some bigger propeller blades on that thing if you expect it to take flight!
I had a neighbor that put a 460 in a 1987 Ford Ranger. Talk about a truck with balls
Should have pressure washed the frame, wire wheel, primer and paint.
it's surface rust in Tennessee not upstate NY. It's a low budget build not a restoration
Wish they would have used some rust converter on the body and frame. Corroseal would work
I am curious as to why you did not have Dustless Blaster strip the chassis and paint it. ???
So the manifolds are better for towing/ torque over the headers??!
Nice video
Never ever attempt to port an assembled cylinder head.
Why?
@@bigboreracing356 garbage in, garbage out.
I've done tons of Mopar port matching, but always on a bare head before assembly but after magnaflux. I would never want that grit getting into everything.
Stick a paper towel in the hole before grinding it out and you won't have to worry as much.
I saw a man port a head on in the car. It was a 2.3 four cylinder in a mustang dirt track car. He took a grease gun and filled the port. I thought that was the dumbest thing I have ever saw. Scooped out the rest on filled it with M30 hand cleaner. Sprayed it out with WD40.
Overhauled and upgraded engine with aftermarket intake and STOCK exhaust manifolds = HALF ASSED REBUILD! !!!!!!
Let me paint this water pump real nice while we load up this nice motor into this yellow rust bucket.
Probably not a Good idea to Port Match the intake Ports After you assembled the heads....Much easier when the heads are apart
...easier to clean then assemble...
There's always a few chips that get stuck in the head....when you do it assembled...
Woah woah! That sure sounds like common sense 🤔....
@@robsorgdrager8477
But the did it the opposite way Rob.....Maybe a Sense....Not So Common...🤔
@@frankieford7668 either way, we don't pay you to use common sense, your job is to un-falk the monkey every day then do your job with zero emotions.....chop pronto ma man the more we talk the more people that have no idea how to do your job are making decisions for you and that just means more monkeys and footballs for you....😂🤣😂🤣😂, Sorry I just had a senairio play in my head.😅😂🤣
@@robsorgdrager8477
That Exactly why i retired ...5 years before i had intended... Idiots that never had to do the job...or understand how it was done...Making ridiculous Management Decisions....
Time to Go...🕊
They should have polished the ports with some fine sandpaper at least. I did it on my garage myself and got it almost mirror polished
3:36 Put some high temp never seize on them exhaust manifold bolts!!
Port matching is between the inlet manifold port & the inlet port of the head not the casket as the casket will squeeze into the inlet port once torqued down causing turbulence you should stop the match porting before the casket edge by a mm
Does anybody know where the paint episode is? I want to see it
I have a 2nd gen Bronco with a 429. Thing rips
nice, i wish mine had a 427, mines got a 460 though, pretty similar anyways
Was the 429 cid original???
@@johndowe7003 460 is a bad ass engine and actually the same block as a 429, the 460 just has a longer stroke.
@@nellyfarnsworth7381 No, the 429 was out of a late 60's Torino
@@ssimon64 yeah i love.my 460, i got a holly double pumper 750 cfm with a offroad kit. Offroad cam, weiland steath intake sanderson shorty headers 12lift with 39 TSLs, 4.56 gears with a twin stick modded np205 mated to a np435. Ive twisted the driveshaft and busted the rear differantal on it lol
When are you going to build an Aussie Barra DOHC I.L. 6 cylinder?
Clean that frame and paint it before putting it back together, just saying motor on.
plastic media blast the frame and epoxy coat it
Scrape off all the loose stuff w/ wire brush, brush with metal prep/acid, zinc primer then rattle can black it- cheap fast & durable. Hose it with fluid film or oil then rip it.
For Sure Why Not take a few minutes?!?
No need to disturb it when chassis is already sealed from yrs of gunk. This is not a show room build.
Why didn't you brush or sand blast the frame and paint it before installing parts onto it?
Low buck for sure! Now they have a rolling parts stock pile that's towable. Never saw it turnover, or run?
Comments directed at the year 2007 are fun to read. 2 guys on a "budget" , that was still no excuse to not even clean the chassis with a power washer at least
Hooray for using gloves!
I should drill some extra holes in my engine to make it more powerful
"Budget Build" & "LMC Truck" should not be used in the same sentence! LMC sells a lot of china junk for OEM parts!
ALL AFTERMARKET RESTO PARTS ARE ABSOLUTE JUNK.....KEEP YOUR OEM PARTS THEY ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
Anyone else think that this truck looks hella big? 😂
couple of hours cleaning and painting the frame would have made it look so much better. not to mention using half rotted body mount bolts.
At 0:18 I saw those and thought "you're reusing that garbage, WTH!"
I can't be the only one to see the original carriage bolts were reused.
For those crying about the frame, around here come winter that paint would be gone
The main frame is rusty as hell? Why not sanding and priming that whole thing?
I would like to see the challenger Chevy K2 Blazer with a Lt-1 motor.
Sorry yall, forgot to mention to all of you talking about the frame. If this is a Southern vehicle, there isn't much concern about the frame. We don't salt the roads. It is just surface rust, it's not an issue
Truck yea
People know the Bronco for a different reason aside from off-roading, lets just say it can run like nfl runningback.
Wheelman714c If the glove don't fit, YOU MUST ACQUIT!
Where is THE white Bronco????
@@nellyfarnsworth7381 Broncos are good for 20 mph police chases. ask oj
@@tomschweikert9537
I can remember when O.J. was "White" & Michael Jackson was "Black". And Broncos could only drive at 20 mph on the Freeway.
Wet weight is 735lb c6 is over 200 and that np203 close to 300lb driveline is stupid heavy. Ditch the 203 for a 205 shaves 150lb or get the doubler kit and mate the 203 planetary section with the 205 for about 10l. More then the 203 alone
So why wouldn't you do the porting before you put the valves in? Last I checked metal shavings were bad on engines.
Chassis not treated?
Single biggest thing you can do to those heads is get rid of the knot (valve guide boss material in the exhaust port.) That needs to be mentioned in this video. Been there, done that....
Is that from motortrend?
Does anyone still use or have a bumper jack? I've used them to straighten out frames but for jacking up a truck?
Use them all the time working on the farm. Lifting combine, discbine, haybine, baler heads when it's unpowered for whatever reason. Also commonly use a stepper jack for similar uses as well.
I use them for body work
Trying to do this build but for a 66 Tbird that I have.
Should call it LMC Truck advertisement channel.
LoL 😂 top fuel dragster 5000cid nfw!
You guys didnt put the counter balance r on the crank behind the harmonic balancer. 3ya cranks are externally balanced. 2ya cranks are internally balanced. Depends on year. Early 460s are 2ya. Not sure when they changed it. But I didnt see it on there.
I should have use that on my master cylinder 5:23
No Heater?
Blowing air from your lungs (carbon dioxide) into a can of regular enamel will stop a skin forming in the can due to oxidation (reacting to oxygen). Never tried it with 2K hardener but I can't see why it wouldn't work the same way to stop it going off.
And the body bolts are about rusted through. Reuse them, budget build remember
Good work guys but coulda refinished the chassis !!!!
Where can I order spare part
