'89 2WD Supercab 5-speed, 138,000mi, many performance parts.
Engine build 13,000 miles ago.
$1000

Here's what I've got into it:

• '86 Bronco II throttle body (58mm bore).
• Matched intake manifolds.
• Phenolic intake manifold spacers - reduce temp of intake manifold.
• Cyl heads mangafluxed (no cracks), surfaced, polished and ported, intake manifold matched to intake ports, combustion chamber volumes matched.
• Camcraft cam w/ HD lifters.
• Free-floating rocker arm conversion.
• Rocker arms honed.
• Custom JE pistons.
• Pistons balanced.
• Block deburred (i.e. all casting ridges, etc, ground down), "decked" (surface to crank center made exactly same for all cylinders), bored and honed for new pistons.
• Crankshaft mangafluxed (no cracks), deburred, balanced crankshaft/flywheel, shot peened, bearing journals polished.
• Connecting rods reconditioned, deburred, balanced, shot peened.
• Fuel injectors flow tested, 1 replaced.
• Melling oil pump.
• JBA headers.
• Flowmaster Deltaflow muffler, custom exhaust with SS fasterners.
• Centerforce II clutch - pressure plate, friction plate, throwout bearing.
• MSD Ignition.
• Explorer radiator (much larger capacity).
• Fel-pro valve cover gaskets.

All the machine work was done at a local shop, Cottrell Racing Engines in Chaska, MN.

Other on engine:

• Replaced cam bearings.
• Valve job.
• New timing set
• New cam bearings
• New main bearings
• New rod bearings
• New valve stem seals
• New rocker arm shafts

The bad:

• Hood latch is broken
• Some rust (no kidding - in Minnesota)
• Left front wheel is gouged up from running into a curb. Still holds air and is balanced.
• Parking brake cable is rusted; needs to be lubed/replaced.
• One leaf broken in right rear leaf spring.
• Volt-meter on accessory gauge set not working.

The extras:

• Color-matched fiberglass bed cover. Rubber bed mat.
• Awesome-sounding stereo. FM/Cassette/CD. 6-disc changer.
• Almost new tires.
