Sounds like a deal?!

Found a 78 Ford Bronco for 1500 original owner garage kept. very little rust. 351W in it.

Good deal??

The owner is supposed to shoot me some pics. Its one of our subs at work. Nice guy hoping to get some pics next week.

Sounds like a pretty damn good deal...but the 351W would have been swapped in. 351M and the 400 are the only engines that came in that. Mine was $2400 with a pretty shot 351M and a couple rust bubbles popping up on the rear wheel wells. Got any questions just ask.

I'd probably jump on it. :post pics:

lil_dq · Aug 14, 2010

I was thinking it sounded good. Its an older gentleman that has it and has owned it since new, just getting tired of having it in the way and knows I am a truck nut. So he offered it to me.

I would get it. Sounds pretty good.

5.0Flareside · Aug 14, 2010

yeah it wouldnt be a 351W. it would be a 351M or 400. either way sounds like a good deal.

If it does have the Windsor, I wouldn't do it.

73F100Shortbed · Aug 14, 2010

Why not??

...........

lil_dq · Aug 14, 2010

I could be wrong on that. I thought that is what he said but I could be competely off on that as well

73F100Shortbed · Aug 14, 2010

It still wouldn't be bad if it had a 351W. The later Broncos had them. I snowplowed with an 88 with one in it and it was great.

Depending on the year 351W...it could have up to 45 more hp than a 351M when comparing stock to stock.

In high school I drove a 1971 Cougar with a 351W. That thing would liight up the tires and spin them all the way to 3rd gear.

Original owner garage kept, doubt it's a 351w guys. Either way, this man needs to start planning on how to upgrade to a 460

Don't they make a bigger motor than the 460?

Not from the factory.. There are 700++ cubic inch Fords based on the 385 series motors though (nothing close to stock though including the block).

He's a member over on FSB and all the info is there...but I'm too lazy to look at the moment.
