Hey, I've seen your Bronco. I'm a UPS driver in Greeley and if I'm not mistaken you live about a mile from me and you have a neighbor with a green Bronco. |

That will be awesome to have a V8 in a Porsche. I cannot think of any Porsche with an 8 cylinder - I think they are all 6's. Excited to see pics! |

Post subject: | Re: rdanford's rides |
The 928's had a V8 from the factory....but upgrading from the 2.5 turbo that had 270 hp to the LS1 with the last two build out of the shop pushing 346 & 372 rwhp...its going to be sweet! Custom headers are being built this week, motor is installed, electric brake booster installed and tranny upgraded...I'll bring it to a meeting this summer for sure! |

Wow, if yours need a frame-off, mine is ready to be chewed up into little pieces and made into a miata!! Looks great from what I can see. Awesome that it's been in the family so long!! The porsche is cool! How's it run with the LS in it? J.D. |

The Bronco's new roller gt motor is being built currently and should be in by May 1st...its going to be sweet! The Porsche was fast with the stock 250hp turbo motor....its a entirely different animal with the LS1 (app 325rwhp now) as it only 3100lbs |

Your license plate is the coolest! Car turned out great and 350 HP is something to be proud of - nice job! Now where does the line start to drive it? |

Post subject: | Re: rdanford's rides |
Wow! some good numbers! How to make a Porsche better? Slap a corvette motor in it!! The plates are funny, but it's a giveaway. I guess I am more of a sleeper guy. J.D. |

Both are going well...fine tuning still remaining but daily driving and running well. Need to get a few final pieces for the suspension and a free weekend...gotta love tax season. |

Well, I've sold the Porsche to fund the build of the Bronco. Just completed a 1" body lift to help with alignment of doors (original pucks were shot). I am needing to either re-seal or rebuild the D20 which is the only remaining drive-train item not touched. I know there is rust on DS cowl and tailgate needs replaced and have both lower quarters in case from BH before they left moved to OK. Have been stockpiling parts over the last several years...looking forward to getting somewhat involved again. Good to be back working on the Bronco. |
