Details

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. A 6AL high firebox and Blaster II coil light the fire on the inside, while a 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 JL Audio speakers and 10-inch JL Audio subwoofer, all housed in custom-built panels. The sale includes a Bimini soft-top. This custom Bronco has approximately 2,200 miles on the new engine since completion. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
