03/04 Cobra motor in a Bronco

[SeanPlunk]

Pretty slick project. Link. (http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153411)

New start, new thread, new name. Same plan just bit off more than I can chew right now. 4V accessory setup is retarded. Using a 2V or 3V would be a snap compared to this. As far as the motor I have to have some custom mounting for the alternator and do some frame notching still to clear my steering. Oh well it's the way things go when your re inventing the wheel. At least looking at things with the rear under it it all is starting to make since. Now it's just some cutting and fabing for the motor and t case then just connecting the dots. Oh and custom up headers to clear the frame.

Impressive. Can't say that I like the width of the axels with the Bronco. Would have looked more at a Ranger or maybe even a f-150. should be a killer Bronco when done though.

Badass, my friend wants to do this in his Ranger. Isn't the 03 Cobra NA?

No, the 03 and 04's are both supercharged. The 99 and 01's are N/A.

I talked to the owner of the Bronco via his message board. He said he's trying to finish it up to bring it down for Fabulous Fords :drink:

02?

02?

There wasn't a Cobra in '02.

Well took the charger off and sent her out to Steg's to get ported and cut out the rear section to start welding in saddles while waiting for the outer knuckles and steering components. The front crossmember is going to tie into the Steering box plate so I have to wait for that stuff before I start drilling and cutting. Oh well there is plenty of plating to do in the new sections and the rest of the parts should be here tomorrow anyways.

The inside of the motor looks like things have been holding up just fine but for some reason all of the intake plenum bolts on the driver side rail were sheared and the passengers were bent. Luckily no damage on the inside though. Oh well here are some pics of the progress.

Ok, so while I was looking at body mounts on the Wild Horse sight and found saw the 1" body lift I decided to buy them to see if they might help me out a bit and create some breathing room. I hate body lifts and consider it totally cheating, but for setting up the three link, it allowing me to get more separation out of my links and mount the top link slightly above the frame. So we got the other frame rail tucked up and tacked. As for the front crossmember and steering setup I have to wait for the outer knuckles and high steer arms from Currie and the drag link and tie rod from Ballistic.

The other pics are of where we are tucking the alternator up and in to create more room for the steering on the driver rail. I am completely eliminating the lower bracket that the secondary main pulley and alternator mounted to. The main pulley is a weird 4 piece setup that uses a bearing in the center of the bracket to keep it spinning true. So I'm going to have a friend machine me a one piece aluminum one that will screw directly to the crank pulley. I have 10.7 pounds to work with so every ounce I save will be a bonus not to mention the lost drag. It's all working out kinda nice. Only other things to work out is moving and mounting one tension pulley and a lower bracket for the alternator.

Oh and if anyone wants the cage PM me. I'm going to make a hole new setup to tie in the body tubing and rear shock mounts. It's fully powder coated.

I like it even if nobody else does :p

I think they should put the 32 valve mod motor in more things. Unfortunately they are pretty rare. Fortunately there are equally bad ass alternatives for cheaper and readily available.
