Ours came out of a car with an auto trans. We have had no issues. I had read about potential stalling at stops, but have not experienced it.

Don't think I wasn't tempted when I saw a 4BT set up on CL just a few weeks ago for 1500.

Seems like many of us are at this junction in our Bronco road:). My oem 302 has 110k on it and I know I'll be swapping her out sometime soon. After lots of reading on cb.com and some Windsor performance books, I've found that you really can't go wrong no matter which engine or induction system you choose.

I'm going with a later roller 351w and adding mustang EFI. I want the torque of the 351 and reliability of EFI. That 5.0 you have a line on sounds like a great deal.

BMF Performance is Windsor, CO is in the process of building a fresh 1990 GT roller with EFI....New engine will be taking place either later this month or early May! The Mustang that it was pulled from was dyno'd at 264 rwhp...new bearings, rings, gasket kit, modified harness, BCB 23-gal EFI tank and refresh of the C-4. Will be making a new thread with pics and more info in the coming weeks.
