- In this video, we take a closer look at my wife's 7.3L Powerstroke swapped Bronco that she plans to restore to its former glory. We start with a walkaround of the truck and talk about its exterior and interior features. Then, we take it for a test drive, doing burnouts and see to see how it handles and performs.
As we cruise around, we talk about the benefits of swapping a Powerstroke engine into a classic Bronco, and what it means for power, torque, and overall driving experience. We also touch on some of the things it will need in the future.
It's loud, its raw, and it is for sure in some need of TLC, but it its a running and driving project in its current state.
Whether you're a die-hard Bronco fan, a diesel enthusiast, or just curious about the possibilities of engine swaps, this video is a must-see. Join us as we explore the reliable power and vintage charm of this 7.3L swapped Bronco!

This thing is rad. Also rad to see Pat make an appearance.
by rad you mean slow?
@@davem7722 huh? It's a Bronco with a diesel swap that they're going to use to tow stuff around.... Who cares if it's slow or not?
My dad dailied a 7.3 truck when I was a kid, put 750,000 miles on it before the frame rotted in half. That's how I learned about turbos! Hillariously did my driving test that modded 7.3 F350 hahaha. Even though it was like 69,000lbs, the feeling of the boost coming in was like "whoa..." to my 16yo brain.
I’ve never thought of this swap but I love it! I’ve always wanted a bronco!
This is one of my dream vehicles. I had an 89, 6" lift with 35's and if I still had it, it would be 7.3 swapped
Broncos are sick. I'm excited to see what you will do with it.
Keep ripping the videos man! Instant click, instant like, full watch. Every time.
Everytime I see a Bronco I think of Michael Cox , woulb be crazy to see the both of you on a project
There is an old man here in my home town that has a bronco that body style and did a Cummins swap to it and it looks factory very clean swap
this is quite literally my dream swap in my dream truck. for real.
I know it’s tedious but really been enjoying these!
Ah, the OJ spec 🤙🏽
Super rad truck, towing the 86 will look 🔥
Love the cam sensor in the glove box comment. Yep, he knows his 7.3s
Hells yeah, sweet grab with that one. Building it with her pops makes it an even radder deal.
I had a 97 F250 with 360k miles sold truck to a concrete cutting company and they put motor in another truck 150k more miles and ran a PTO off motor. Last I heard. Great motors💪👍🇺🇸
I was trying to make it look as factory as possible. The dash harness engine bay harness the engine the transmission and front springs are all out of a 97 f350 work truck. The frame harness is all factory bronco. I had a TS6 chip in it when I had it made it run a lot better. If the dash parts are the same you will see the hole on the bottom left where I had the selector knob. Even the fuel sending unit is from the f350 just had to bend the ears and rotate it 180 and it fit perfectly and the factory harness plugged rite in.
i built one years back, don't tow anything you will brake your rear carrier assembly, i did 3 times before superduty axle swap.. and i didn't do a body lift
It's nice to see more content from you Killin it!
This beast if fricking sweet, can’t wait to see her all done up
I would also love to see what you guys have done with it.
This and the Fox will look perfect going down the road
7.3l's sound amazing
13/10 on the lords bronco. Pat is the shit. Big fan of the channel. Gang gang DeNofa
Badass! 🤘🏼
I only clicked because it said god's engine on a Ford hahaha people say the car scene is "ruined" but all these dudes in videos like this have a blast or smash up one of our dream cars when we all deep down wanna drive like this
I’m not in it for the clout haha. I have a regular career that I live off, I don’t need to play on peoples emotions haha
@@chelseadenofa thats good to hear hope the build goes great for ya and no major issues I'm Workin on my Lexus this year trying to get it to ice cream cruise but moving and other stuff tying up my finances at the moment check it out th-cam.com/users/shortsdtORLXHKTWU?feature=share
I have a 94 I think I’m gonna do this swap now thanks 😂😂
As a UK watcher, the thought of a 7.3 litre engine in an ordinary jeep on UK roads (truck to you guys) is hilarious, closest we have to this is a Land Rover defender or discovery TDI!
Dude that’s crazy. I worked out a deal to trade a Tacoma for this back when it was listed in January. We were going to trade and then he ghosted me and sold it…apparently to you! Lol😂ive even got picture proof that’s wild
highly recommend upgrading the torque converter on the Bronco if not already done. they will tow a lot better than with the oem replacement one
my dad had an 2002 7.3 with the zf6 6-speed trans, with just a 4inch turbo-back exhaust, intake and tune and man it was so much fun to drive, it didn't have issue doing burnouts in the 37in tires. great reliable motor for sure.
So cool
A tuner would wake this up! I have a 7.3 cargo van that rips pretty decent
That’s a dope tow rig 👍
My father in law has built a couple 7.3 broncos. Now he does lifted diesel vans and schoolies.
7.3 towing my e36s too💪
7.3 psd swapped Full size Bronco... Yes please
So sick. Odd for sure but so sick
Congrats chelshe broncos sick OBS ❤️🤙🏻
Seen it for sale. Was real good price
CSF makes cheap bar and plate intercoolers for first gen super duty. Would be a good upgrade for this truck.
Damn got that OJ SIMPSON
do more videos bro its always a pleasure when you pop up on my home page with a brand new drop ;)
Let’s go for more videos!
Get a Superchips tuner and set it on highest and leave it. You get like 100hp more and 30mpg.
Reminds me of the one that Taylor Ray’s friend made.
The reason you don’t love the way your 7.3 sounds is cause you don’t have an aftermarket Garrett turbo lol. Once you get that, it’s all the noises. I love the way my trucks 7.3 sounds.
Best way to start any video lol
My husband did the swap in that Bronco
Chelsea will even do ´the thing´ at the end while driving.
I tow with my 84, it's a pretty short truck, have to be aware that your trailer can swing it around a bit but I've never had any major issues
Yeah 104 " wheel base not good for towing I have a 78 no longer towing with. Put it on trailer take to desert behind DMAX 👍🍺
@@techs1smh13 I kinda wonder why though cos you think most semis the tractor is shorter than the trailer and lighter like the bronco, but they don't have any issues. Maybe it's to do with the suspension travel or something
@@jamessuman2151 and it's bumper pull not 5th wheel. Used to pull 7-12 ft 15" wheels 2ft sides ramp flat bed 3 bikes and quad tools gear ice chest bla bla if it wasn't loaded perfectly it could get sketchy. Now it's fully caged 15 rear travel 14" front. 3 racing seats harnesses window net no roof or door glass ,4.10 gears 37" tires gusseted housings glass hood still fits in garage. Fun playrunner
Have always thought about what this would be like. I miss my 7.3 tree fiddy. Only thing I don’t miss, it had blocks in the rear (think someone ran a salter or something before me) and holy shit some of the bad roads in my town would have that brick stiff suspension literally leaving the ground 😂😂😂 I’d hit a bump and the engine would rev slightly then the tires would chirp as the now speeding tires hit the ground 😂😂😂 my old ass spine could never take that abuse anymore but I could certainly get used to listening to the 7.3 stroker just singing away 🥰🥰🥰
I just found this video but I am the one who put that engine in that bronco. I know it’s been a year now but I can tell you anything and everything about it.
Yo cool bronco , you and scotto from hoonigan have way of finding strange but cool stuff. Also have you watched fd podcast? Ryan talk's about how some of your battle's could have been judged different in your favour 👌😜
That four lug conversion 😂
thats cool!
Need some videos on that OBS in the background!!!
Nice
Body lifts dont look good. But they do function to clear bigger tires and get you higher off the ground.
God damnit I just bought a 2020 f150 now I want this. Want to trade and you take over my payment? Lol. This is why I like you dude. You have the most unique stuff. What happened to that crust old Dodge from like 2017 you bought
Absolutely love this 😂
Man I miss my old OBS F250
I love it. Definitely take that go to hell body lift off 😂 and put a TC performance six position Chip it will add 140 hp
Love it
Body lift is there to clear the engine. 7.3's in stock location won't clear without it.
I have a 97 f350. My goal is to get a Bronco and put a 7.3 in it
Bummed out how u feel about the sound. I know they’re loud and sound better with a muffler, but I think they’re the best sounding diesel you can buy angwhere
Idc who you are, that’s cool.
Throw some of the newer superduty axles under that and it would be perfect for towing. Super Cool.
She only will tow the open trailer so the stock axles should do!
@@chelseadenofa Makes sense and the 8.8 is pretty strong. If you guys ever decide to go back to 4x4 and do a solid axle conversion check out the kits that allow use of the 99+ Superduty stuff. I did the swap on my 93 regular cab short bed F-150 and have been happy with it.
C-Clip axle though... I think you can do eliminator kit on those
Only problem with towing long distance is the short wheel base
Yea gotta set the trailer right
@Chelsea DeNofa I agree but I would still be careful towing long distance even with the trailer set up right it's going to sway alot and put you to work. I just need my boy to stay safe cause I know this is his season!
So not sure how that’ll be. But mine gets a little sketchy with that short wheel base and towing. Way worse with single axle pop up campers though. Car trailer has been alright, minus that 351 struggling over the hills.
Yeah these broncos with short wheelbases aren't the greatest towing vehicles. Loved the tight turning radius of mine though!
Needs a KC turbo
Hey man how’d the bronco go???! I’m actually in the works of buying one like this myself.
I hate Diesel trucks because they remind me of riding in a school bus lol. But this is kinda cool.
What ever happened to that 4 door 460 f350 you picked up to swap?
Hating on the lights lol same ones I have lmfao 🤣
Leave it to Chelsea to add more OBS to a Bronco
Was the dash harness swapped to a diesel or was the existing bronco harness used?
I know a guy that did a IDI swap into a bronco. Someone should LS swap a Bronco.
You know what an LS swap is? That just 2 Chev-tards spitting in each other's mouths
430k on my 7.3 "Love me long time"
wait a 7.3 2wd bronco?
okay i bite !!! in 95 and 96 centurion made 200 7.3 4 door broncos AND ONE black 2 door bronco !!!! ask me how i know and i send you some photos of my bronco collection !!
Definitely wouldn’t recommend the actual stock airbox and filter. It’s insanely restrictive and the easiest power jump on the 7.3s when replaced
6.7 Airbox going in
@@chelseadenofa good to hear!
I don’t trust people who don’t like the sound of a 7.3 power stroke
Chelsea “the juice” Denofa
I don't get these at all haha. I love the 460 in mine.
Take a shot he says '7.3' it'll be a good timer.,
Why doesn't pat return to fd?
Anyone know where I can get that 4 lug conversion kit? lol
7.3’s Sound like a school bus
Chelsea ‘ac works’ Denofa
what’s going on with the fummins in the back ground, in the first two minutes of the video
Spare truck right now. I actually put like 20k miles on it last year
Was that…. The gat? Gat poodin???
5 lug
I wonder how many mouth breathers are going to comment something about cummins like get real no one gives a shit
damn the 2wd sucks but i guess it's a compromise to keep the drivetrain of the 7.3
The classic OJ Bronco lol
I wonder if the ac is working🤔
Blows COLD!
@@chelseadenofa xD
Would OJ approve?
5.9 12v swap would be even better than 7.3. The 7.3 is nice but 5.9 12V is more reliable and makes power cheap.
Dawg shut up you aint telling us anything new. The 7.3 bronco is cool go 12v swap your bronco if thats what you want to see
Nice… 😂
Jesus that body lift is horrendous… ya gotta do away with that bro 😂 absolutely sick unit otherwise
