78-79 question

Did they ever come with a 300 six and a np435 with the black and orange free wheeling paint? I had a 79 free wheeling edition bronco, but it had a (yuck) 400m and a c-6. I am a 4 speed guy and like the 300 six.

Damn good question...interested in knowing as well. I know I've seen quite a few with that drivetrain in them...but I dunno if it was factory or not. As for free wheeler combo'd...got me. And don't be dissing the 400...haha.

I don't really dislike the 400m engine, I just had bad luck in mine, and given the choice I'd prefer the 300 and 4 spd combo due to simplicity and fuel mileage.

The only engine option for a 78-79 Bronco was the 351M or 400. They did not use the 300 in a 78-79 Bronco. The F-series trucks had the option for the 300.

As stted the 351m and 400 are the only engines available and also had previous experiance with the 6cyl and the mileage was about the same, to much truck for gas mileage. So I went to a 500 hp 460 for fun instead. One question to all out there were all 78\79 Bronco's c6 autos.
