Progress update:

Pics below of the ported GT40 Lightning Tubular Upper and Lower.
Port matched to the AFR heads.
Ditching the stock fan for an electric set up.
She’s coming together nicely!

Great job bringing her back. I had a 94 back when I was in high school. I was young and dumb, poor truck didnt stand a chance. If I had the chance I'd take another but I'd take better care if it this go round. Man it sounded nice with the dual side exit exhaust.
Please update after you get it back on the road

All and all extremely happy with it. A1Speed in Fredericksburg Va gets credit for the outstanding engine work.

Southern Classics in Stanford gets the love for paint and body work.

Dump Numbers.

FYI, DYNO is an AWD DYNOCOM... NOT a Dynojet. Numbers are a bit lower on a DYNOCOM.

NOTE: the red is a comparison to a Lighting with full Exhaust and Stall Converter.

The blue is Mine.

that is healthy. Have you done anything w/ the trans? I have a punisher valve body in my bronco and it really makes the shifts snap.

I'm looking to bring my bronco down to a buddy of mine in delaware in the next month or two so he can do rust repair (that OBS life), after 7 years and 50,000 miles in NJ winters I parked it 3 years ago til I could start fixing it.
