I used to lurk everyday and occasionally post. Then came marriage and kids and there went the expendable cash and time. My frame-up project stalled and my daily driver’s motor blew up. I managed to drop in a donor motor from a 60s mustang but have yet to get it running. Good news is my neighbor...
I'm Frankensteining an engine together. What I have is a 68 Bronco with a 200 cid. The engine obviously isn't original and it is dead. I'm reusing everything from the bell-housing back. I'm running into a problem though. I can not find a starter to fit. The starter I order from the parts...
I'll try out those Extreme Offroad episodes. I'm also going to invest in the dryer outlet + extension cord idea. I need to weld a power steering bracket to the frame and I'm trying to decide if I should practice, practice, practice and then give it a go or just hire it out.

Any recommendations out there...
Just spoke to BC Broncos and to go TRO it does require a taper bushing. Reaming from the top to match the size of the stud would create an hour glass shape in the knuckle and the post could wobble. Therefore you have to make an over sized hole to eliminate the taper from the bottom. Then use the...
