That argon trick is dope AF. Not just with hardener, but anything that will go bad in contact with air. THAT is why I watch these things. If I get one nugget out of it, it's a win
These episodes make me nostalgic. Been following your shows long before PowerBlock was even a thing. You guys have always been amazing! Thank you for all you have done over the decades to support all us motorsports guys that live and breathe this type of content!
I've watched a lot of similar videos but this is one of the few showing the proper way to use a torque wrench. That means pulling the handle towards your body instead of away. I was taught the proper way when I was in the Air Force and I was glad to see this video torquing properly.
Finally a build that doesn't cost 100 grand! It even has an engine that can be daily driven on the street. It's refreshing to get away from "street" engines with parts designed for 4000-9000 RPM. Nice job!
TIP when installing a Ford Transmission that has a Drain plug on the front of the converter. use a 7/16 six point deep socket over the drain plug to align the drain plug with the hole in the flex plate.. the converter studs will pop right into place when you slide it all together..
That's genius and thank you! The first ford I put together was a few hours of swearing. I can get them together pretty easy now, but I will DEFINITELY try this next time!
All these shows doing rebuilds have one thing in common- everyone is afraid to rebuild transmissions or even learn how. If you can build an engine, you can build a transmission. And, if you can afford a 2-post lift, you can afford the few specialty tools for common transmissions.
nice to see somebody doing a job like that. I cut and shorten a 79 Bronco frame. put a 1990 Ford Ranger body on it put a 460 in it with a C6 trans ARB air lockers. and much more now I'm selling it
I had a baby blue 1979 bronco with the 351 m with a truck stander with granny low first gear. I saw it when i was at Raf Beantwaters and had to have it !!! I tried get get one new in 1978 but there was a long waiting list and you had to take what ever one they had , and it was yellow.
At 13:50 you said the larger tires gave you an extra 4 or 5 inches of height. I believe that a 5” bigger tire only gives you 2 1/2 inches of additional height.
Long steel tube headers absolutely do increase torque on a low revving stock engine. Their scavenging effect is most noticeable at high revs but still adds a lot of low RPM torque, and they are about 25 lbs lighter.
That's good trick with the paint hardener. I have that problem with polyurethane. I buy it by the quart and it always forms a scab in the can that I have to break out and in the long run I waste quite a bit. I wonder if propane would work the same way. It's heavier than air and would displace the oxygen the same way.

Probably not a Good idea to Port Match the intake Ports After you assembled the heads....Much easier when the heads are apart ...easier to clean then assemble... There's always a few chips that get stuck in the head....when you do it assembled...

I saw a man port a head on in the car. It was a 2.3 four cylinder in a mustang dirt track car. He took a grease gun and filled the port. I thought that was the dumbest thing I have ever saw. Scooped out the rest on filled it with M30 hand cleaner. Sprayed it out with WD40.

"Half assing that poor bronco" he said. Bruh this truck spent its day rotting im the dump. They're showing people that even a dump like this can be salvaged into a cheap weekend off-road fun ride.
Scrape off all the loose stuff w/ wire brush, brush with metal prep/acid, zinc primer then rattle can black it- cheap fast & durable. Hose it with fluid film or oil then rip it.
I have watched dozens upon dozens of videos of people like you rebuilding this and rebuilding that,, and one thing comes to mind,,, you have more money than sense,,,,,, or too much time on your hands
Exactly, none of these guys have any clue what building on a budget really means!!! They can put together anything they want with an endless budget to work with. I wish we all were independently wealthy so we could all build our dream play toys!!!!!
I know you said low buck or on the cheap but at least you could of cleaned the frame and painted since it was apart already and you also showed reusing a rusty bolt that look half way rusted through securing the body back to the rusty frame. Oh I love the concept of a low buck build and this fits the bill nicely.
I like that they used the same rusty body bolts because everyone in this comment section knows damn well they would be doing the same thing I know o would if it ain't broke then reuse them not like they are torque to yield or nothing
Port matching is between the inlet manifold port & the inlet port of the head not the casket as the casket will squeeze into the inlet port once torqued down causing turbulence you should stop the match porting before the casket edge by a mm
Wet weight is 735lb c6 is over 200 and that np203 close to 300lb driveline is stupid heavy. Ditch the 203 for a 205 shaves 150lb or get the doubler kit and mate the 203 planetary section with the 205 for about 10l. More then the 203 alone
Sorry yall, forgot to mention to all of you talking about the frame. If this is a Southern vehicle, there isn't much concern about the frame. We don't salt the roads. It is just surface rust, it's not an issue
Actually the 385 series ford 460 weighs in at 720 lbs. Ford C-6 weight is right at 140lbs. Combined net weight is 860 lbs. not including water pump; starter, etc.
A 460 is lighter than a 390. It is also narrower than a 352

You should have at least done a quick soda blast on the frame, then apply rusty converter, and a black spray coat. Wouldn't cost much, but make it last.
Blowing air from your lungs (carbon dioxide) into a can of regular enamel will stop a skin forming in the can due to oxidation (reacting to oxygen). Never tried it with 2K hardener but I can't see why it wouldn't work the same way to stop it going off.
You guys didnt put the counter balance r on the crank behind the harmonic balancer. 3ya cranks are externally balanced. 2ya cranks are internally balanced. Depends on year. Early 460s are 2ya. Not sure when they changed it. But I didnt see it on there.
Comments directed at the year 2007 are fun to read. 2 guys on a "budget" , that was still no excuse to not even clean the chassis with a power washer at least
I can't be the only one to see the original carriage bolts were reused. For those crying about the frame, around here come winter that paint would be gone
ford 460 external balance, should the flexplate weight be facing the 12 o'clock position ? or be facing 180 degs the other way in the 6 o'clock position? in relation to the hatchet weight in the front. please help me, thanks
I question the reuse of rusted, over-torqued/ damaged body bolts with poly bushings, which put more stress on used bolts...Use ARP or equivalent hardware. Ford is a body frame bolt-on. At the minimal use some new Grade 8 hardware bolts/washers, nuts from the local hardware or online companies. American made only ......
at 1:53, you say you had a 30thou overbore, the crankshaft dressed and then say they gave you a short block for a couple of hundred, Soooo, you didn't use the original block?
Single biggest thing you can do to those heads is get rid of the knot (valve guide boss material in the exhaust port.) That needs to be mentioned in this video. Been there, done that....

I appreciate you putting in the big block. It’ll have a lot more low end torque and really doesn’t hurt gas mileage on a 4x4
This Bronco is going to be bad ass!!
Take pride in your job...3 minutes later starts bolting brand new stuff to a rusty ass frame 😂
It's surface rust in Tennessee not upstate NY, smh
😄
Good luck with those motor mounts, I built a 460 for my f250 and it ripped the motor mounts apart twice... I ended up making solid motor mounts
Neil Amalfitano what upgrades did you do to the motor? My motor mounts work just fine on a pretty stock 460 in my 90 F250.
Eldon Triggs nothing fancy 10.5:1 pistons an rev cam and a little head porting......maybe I got chinesium motor mounts

Great build but why wouldnt u paint the frame and the body while u have them separate from each other ??

I would have at least coated the chassis with some kind of liner or other coating to stop the rust. But I remember this project and I loved it.

Hey Kevin, we want some black Eastwood paint on that Frame.stop that rust. Looking forward to seeing it fly thru the trails...
Eastwood wasn't a sponsor in 2007 when the episode aired....
Great tip on keeping hardener fresh. How inert of you. Thanks for that.
That's good trick with the paint hardener. I have that problem with polyurethane. I buy it by the quart and it always forms a scab in the can that I have to break out and in the long run I waste quite a bit. I wonder if propane would work the same way. It's heavier than air and would displace the oxygen the same way.
I knew there would be atleast 1 comment of . I'm not a Ford guy but. Gotta love it
Oh the 70's. I remember those big iron slug 460's in . Took any kind of gas didn't care
Headers would make way more torque down low.
So that's what I've been wondering, I need the torque more than the HP and every other vid says Headers over manifolds, but not here??

They should have polished the ports with some fine sandpaper at least. I did it on my garage myself and got it almost mirror polished
Never ever attempt to port an assembled cylinder head.
Why?

Stick a paper towel in the hole before grinding it out and you won't have to worry as much.

Thanks for the inspiration, I got my dad 79 bronco. A timeless machine
That D.O.T. yellow might be loud, but it's still better than forest service green like my Bronco.
Clean that frame and paint it before putting it back together, just saying motor on.
plastic media blast the frame and epoxy coat it
Scrape off all the loose stuff w/ wire brush, brush with metal prep/acid, zinc primer then rattle can black it- cheap fast & durable. Hose it with fluid film or oil then rip it.

No need to disturb it when chassis is already sealed from yrs of gunk. This is not a show room build.

"Budget Build" & "LMC Truck" should not be used in the same sentence! LMC sells a lot of china junk for OEM parts!
ALL AFTERMARKET RESTO PARTS ARE ABSOLUTE JUNK.....KEEP YOUR OEM PARTS THEY ARE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
I like how they replaced the whole truck with aftermarket parts but it always saved money.
the hardener tip at the end, they forgot to tell their viewers to loosen the tension roller so the welder does not feed the wire into the can
Should have pressure washed the frame, wire wheel, primer and paint.
it's surface rust in Tennessee not upstate NY. It's a low budget build not a restoration
Port matching is between the inlet manifold port & the inlet port of the head not the casket as the casket will squeeze into the inlet port once torqued down causing turbulence you should stop the match porting before the casket edge by a mm
People know the Bronco for a different reason aside from off-roading, lets just say it can run like nfl runningback.

Wondering if it’s an early hi-compression 460 or a later low-compression 460?

030 over bore is not mild. What happen to 010 or 020.
So it's not really a 460. Is it. I think it comes out to be a 469
So why wouldn't you do the porting before you put the valves in? Last I checked metal shavings were bad on engines.
