Needs a 7.3

 

[nobodyspecial]

needs a 300.

 

[greystreak92]

Needs a 300 with an RV cam.

A 7.3 would be nice, but all that weight on that poor 1/2 ton suspension up front. I'd go with a nice built torquey 300, np 435, a small lift and have a nice trail rig you can sleep in

This is true. I'd thrown my front end under it, but no more 4x4.

I will agree with a 300, though!

 

[nobodyspecial]

I can't wait to get my rebuilt 300/4spd into my 79.

Couldn't you just throw on some 3/4 ton leaves?

 

[nobodyspecial]

not very easily, considering it is a coil sprung TTB front.

Then what about a leveling kit?

 

[nobodyspecial]

A leveling kit does not increase load capacity.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Leveling kits also throw off camber.

I was sniffing around for a low mileage bronco with a 300 before I found my red truck. It's not like you're going to go racing in it, so why not put a sweet straight six in?

That, and sixs are awesome!

 

[O'Rattlecan]

I should put a straight 6 in a fiesta.

[nobodyspecial]

Only if it is this one:

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Would you consider that slightly modified or still mostly stock?

Ryan

 

[nobodyspecial]

somewhere in between.

I like this one much better:

They're just too cool. They sound like a tractor with raids.

The only bad thing is that you can't call them a "Leaning tower of Power".
