That Marti reads nearly identical to mine. Same options even the same order date. Mine shows being built 105 days behind schedule..... wonder what that's about.

Would be number 5 for me. Have a 75 and 96 now but I'll wait for the crush to slow down before doing anything.

While I don't disagree with the advice I have been given,the motor is making too much noise now to continue to run it. I should have mentioned in my previous post that i can press down with my thumb on some pushrods and get movement. I don't recall ever be able to do this to a lifter

Update........ I'm going with the collapsed lifters theory now. I have as much as .050 clearance at the rocker arm/valve now. Not every one but several. What started off as a little noisy rapidly turned into a massive failure very quickly. Time to buys some parts and enjoy my non air...

That first one look good,but it's a long way from home. I will contact them and see what they can do on the shipping. Thanks for looking out.

I did not. Because I bought it from JBG I just dealt with them.

I bought one from JBG last year and it took a few months to get due to it being out of stock/production. It eventually shipped from Carpenter, which I assume is probably standard for all the Bronco suppliers. When it arrived it was really a nice piece, everything you would expect from a $$400+...
