Bronco Help

[Bdav123]

I just bought a 1980 Bronco 4WD 351 V8 and I want more power the truck is sort of beat up but the interior and engine is good I also got a 400 engine with the truck and I don't know if I should install it or not any recomendations would help thank you.

I would leave the 400 on the rack, because i think that is a Winsor engine, which has a different bellhousing. The 400 and 351M has the 370 series bellhousing. I would rebuild that engine and put a edelbrock on top, decent cam, about 9.5:1 Comp, high volume melling oil pump, headers, dual exhaust, and port and polish your heads if you have the money. Make surethe get port matched intake and exhaust haskets if you go that route. Or find some cleveland heads.

I have to agree a nice 302 cam, 4 baral, intake, & headers with duals is a must Or if you have the money go fuel injected.
