    LS Engine in 1966 Bronco

    Ok, so here's my most recent project. I just picked up a 66' Bronco and am currently sourcing parts for an LS motor build for it. I already have a Dana 60 front, GM 14 Bolt Rear and a few options for transfer case/trans setups to choose from.

    I'm working on getting the title before I jump on it. This whole lost title is a PITA! I could go for a bonded title, but that would cost more than what I'm paying for the whole Bronco.

    Can you go for a re-builders title? Hell sell it to me and i'll put my lq9 in it'll and be driven it every day!
    I love early broncos! I almost bought a new one in 1975. (OBTW, I saw 6 of them today in various states of mis-repair on the same lot).

    Why are you putting a 14 bolt in it? They come with 9" rears factory. Hope you get the title thing figured out, my dad and I love old broncos, we've got three now

    I'm going w/ matching 1-Ton axles already locked and lowered to 4.56's. I can sell the 9" for more hardware.

    Update! I am working with my friend at a body shop to get a bonded title for it since the person under the title hasn't responded to any requests for info. The build is going pretty slow since my main priority is my running/driving 73' Bronco.

    Any suggestions on a drivetrain? My trans I picked up cheap is cracked so I scrapped it and am starting over. I'm not sure about what will mat up to what so I've been doing some research over on pirate4x4.

    700R4 is basically a 4l60e and are a dime a dozen. Also look into TH350's as they can provide a variation in tcases and also cheap. What tcases were you considering?
