]Hi, the happy ending is it all worked out.
To remind everyone, I went over 200 I got from a guy on this site. Rings, bearings, Comp cams 252H, adjustable timing chain set, and the late model head with 2 barrel Holley 350 cfm carb, and new HEI ignition from Bill.
The reason I went for it is because the clutch is 18 years old, with plenty of snow plowing and 2 beginner drivers.
I got over 150 miles so far. The engine is strong, no lag or hesitation. It runs smooth to my self imposed redline of 4000 RPM. I've been cruising in 2nd gear between 15 and 50 MPH and it is very good. I had it up to 65 MPH and it is still strong at 2900 RPM. Much better then the 170.
So how high are you guys revving your engines? I wonder about going much higher. I'm under the impression that going to 5000 RPM happens pretty often.
I do have 3:50 gears and 31 X 10.5 tires on the Bronco.
Here are some pictures.
Good luck]IMG_20180811_155502411_HDR.jpg[/attachment]
