Bronco-enstein

[Crestronwizard]

Been having so much fun building the mustang and working with Kelly Murphy that we decided to use the extra 10k in building space I have to combine our efforts into a Pro-Touring/Hot Rod shop :). First project - a 1996 Ford Bronco! It's a 15 year old build with a 302 and Kenne-Belle supercharger. Stripping it this week and going all out. Stay tuned!

:) Thinking of taking a Rolled Raptor and transporting the Bronco body over to it (after shortning the frame). What do you guys think?

[Twentyover]

Think you should rename to Bronkenstein.

Is the goal to retain 4wd and off-road capability?

[Crestronwizard]

yes

i'd love to know this too. When i was looking a year ago, junkyards were getting crate motor prices for any drivetrain less than 2 years old out of a ford vehicle.

[Crestronwizard]

I'll let you know when I find one :). May just put in a coyote with a blower and a 6 speed auto and build the diff's and the rest ourselves.

Took the firewall out of the 2012 and put in in the Bronco. This allows us to use the 2012 A/C, steering, etc.

I say Raptor suspension and widen the body at the belt line to fit the wider track!!!

Nothing super impressive yet but drove the Bronco around yesterday

Lots of work to transplant the F-150 pump and sending unit over to the Bronco tank. I didn't get a final pic before installing the tank but this was close

So this has been a few months and I was wondering how this one is coming along? Looking forward to seeing it as well as your impressions on it's driveability.

[Crestronwizard]

It's heading to the interior shop next week. It sat for awhile waiting for the owner to finish up the season. There are a couple of things that I want to tweak suspension wise. Thanks for checking in. I will post pics once the interior is complete.

[Crestronwizard]

Finally some updates. Custom interior coming along.

Great progress... I like the color you have gone with for the interior.

Thanks. Should be done next week. Change the wheels and tires, do a tune and alignment and should be rolling

[Crestronwizard]

Interior Complete!

Looks great !!!

[neongreen]

Awesome work!

[Crestronwizard]

Been busy with other things so this one hasn't gotten a lot of attention. Took it to Fastlane Motorsports in Benson, NC for a dyno/tune session. Put in a conservative tune since this is a daily driver. Results? 473 HP to the wheels :). Not too shabby for a little 302.

[wfo guy]

Very interesting project.

[migg400]

Love the project!!! Wish I had one!
