Machine shop is boring .030, and we are using silv-o-lite pistons, brass freeze plugs, and they are putting in arp rod bolts. Waiting now while they balance everything

Tag team torque wrenching. Laughing My youngest sister would love to come help me assemble engines. She knows more about engines than most guys ever will, and it must have been a good thing, she's a Physicians Assistant now, and puts people back together. Hopefully without a torque wrench though.

Girls are always curious.

Nice build man. Got a 1990 Bronco but it has a 300/5speed in it. Was thinking about doing a 7.3L swap but lol...naw.

Set the intake on so I can measure bolt lengths..going all arp 12 point...what a pain.

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap - Page 2 460-swap-434

Checking the upper intake, the egr, iac, water neck and the alt bracket..

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap - Page 2 460-swap-435

3G fits right on, think I'll clean up the bracket and remove the air pump

89 Bronco 460/ZF swap - Page 2 460-swap-436

Ordered a bunch of fasteners...I need to mock up the sag swap next

Will a 3" single exhaust be enough for this? I still have to pass emissions testing.

I worked on my alt bracket a little, cleaned it up where the air pump used to go, I'll get it sandblasted before I put it on

Other than removing the air pump, the 3G fits right on with no mods at all.

It was from the '91 f250 donor, I dont think they are hard to find, I just wanted to take the air pump mounts off so it looks cleaner and dosent obstruct the timing marks as much

The single 3" exhaust will probably be alright considering this is a low rpm, driver deal. More would of course be better, but if you can't pass the emissions test what good would it do. Cool
