All Small Six ‘66 Bronco 170 vs early Mustang 170- same?

[bubba22349]

LOL, Yes than you have a 200 Six which is still a decent up grade over a 170 six the 200 has a little more torque.

Thanks to you all! Great group and great info. Attached is my ‘71 brother to the ‘66. I kinda like these trucks

Wow that's in excellent condition it looks fantastic and is in the color I like them too! Do you happen to have any pictures showing the inside details? If so I would be interested in seeing them. Just so happen that I am going to be building a Model of one that my daughter got me for my Birthday.

Yes, it is a 200 if there is 5 soft plugs counting the pass side of the block only.
No 250's where made with the draft tube spot .

Is it the Revell edition? Nice models!! I just got one also but the full size edition is even better! I’ll try to get a few pics send over.

Yes it is the Revell Kit showed up at the house here and it took me awhile to figure why. LOL no doubt about that, that the full size is better. Guess she know I always wanted one and only got to work on other peoples Bronco's. Thank you that would be great.

Yes your 71 is very nice you are starting an impressive Bronco collection!

4 fan bolts… I may be dumb but I’m not stupid! On second thought, now that I count the pump bolts again I count 3. I believe I counted the lower one from both sides thus 4 ! Also the starter is higher and so…. a 200!(?).
BTW, per the stuttering issue, the new vacuum advance made a big difference!

If you want to know what year and make your engine came out of. Please provide the casting number from block. See picture.
