PRICE REDUCTION
Bought with the best of intentions.... and haven't touched in in 6 months... just too many other irons in the fire...
http://www.fnader.com/Laforza.htm
Likely one of the most solid on this coast... needs paint and minor electrics but I bought it due to the sound body and cheap mechanicals.
302 engine knocks... but I drove it home 100 miles. Strongly recommend towing it though (and I can't help as it won't fit on my trailer). Trans and trasnfer case appear to work fine.
Now the 302 is marginal for a vehicle this size, so I bought a 1992 Bronco with a reportedly fresh 351W (and some sort of performance exhaust). Runs like a new engine, but no docs. Ford AOD is dead except for 1st and sometimes 3rd. AC system even seems to work!
Older but virtually unused tries, Warn manual hubs, etc make the parts value even after the engine is stolen reasonable...
I discovered that the 351 won't fit under the Laforza bonnet without converting to the shorter Mustang intake, so I bought the adapter plate that allows the Mustang upper to bolt to the truck lower.
That means that I think the only missing piece for the swap is an oil pan... there is an aftermarket one on Ebay that looks like it would work but I was going to swing the engine in and do some measuring.
A weekend or two worth of work would likely complete the swap. I just don't have the time. If I find the time, i'll do the swap and keep the Laforza.
Laforza is licensed and insured; clear title. Bronco has a clear title as well.
$2010 firm for everything.. a lot less than what I have in it.. PRICE REDUCTION: $1800 for the pair or $1500 for the Laforza alone
I'm going to put my running/driving/working AC virtually rustfree Bitter SC 3.9 on the market as well (with or without the 52k LS1 I was going to drop into it) but it's going to be about twice the price limit here...
