Ford Bronco's Best year?

[PJB4x4]

'78-'79.

I love the looks of them. I never cared much for the earlier Bronco's. The later ones are ok though.

Here is the Bronco that my guy owns. He is the best employee that I have ever hired so I paid for all the parts for his Broncos. He didn't have the money to pay for it and came from a "Uneasy Road" but everything is good now... I figured that it would be of more value to get it fixed then all the time that was wasted while he and his Bronco were on the side of the road...

I wasn't trying to just talk crap but since I put the work hours into this Bronco and the Mechanics that I talked to their general consensus wasn't as kind about the 302 so I tried to bring something valuable for part of "my opinion" to this thread...



If the "OPer" wants my comment deleted I would perfectly understand.

My aunt and uncle had a mid 80's one. 86 maybe? I always secretly wanted it.

I dont think they made the Nite before the '92 front end update and that one is an '87-'91

The 302 5.0 engine was one of the best engines ever made. Starting as a 260 ci in Early 60s falcons and the 64 1/2 mustang, then punched out to 289 from 65 to 67 and finally punched out to 302 by 68. From 68 the 302 was used till 2001. I've owned a 66 mustang with a 289, a 77 Lincoln with a 302, a 72 van with a 302, 84 f150 with a 302, a 86 E150 with 5.0 efi and various 60s-70s F series trucks that I yanked the engines out of and replaced with a 302. So to say the least I know my way around a 302 engine. Any one who dogs this engine seriously has no idea what their talking about. What other engine can say it had an almost 40 year production run? Judging it just from working on one vehicle that is 20 years old is...... REALLY?

I wasnt too impressed with the 302 in my '92 Mustang. I later swapped it out for a 347 stroker and it still wasnt all that impressive. It got murdered in a race with a stock '01 ZO6.
