'87 bronco. Needs some TLC but looking forward to getting her going again.

I drove and sold a lot of those back in the day. There was a constant debate between the 302 (MPFI) and the 351 (carb). The former was plenty but some thought the latter would tow better. After a bad towing experience I and a buddy (an Aggie) had in a short bed Chevy PU, I would never tow anything north of a couple of jet skis in this thing, anyway. Out of maybe 10 I sold, at least 8 were 302s, but a lot of that had to do with availability, color, trim, etc.
This, at least the Eddie Bauer trim, was the demo choice of dealership higher ups. Had I sold 30 total units (all vehicles; top guys at our store averaged 20-23 and I did about 14-17 on a real good month) a month for 6 months, they MAY have TALKED about letting me have a Mustang but no way on one of these.
Show a pic of the rear and I'll tell you what engine came stock in it. (Don't spoil it).

Wish my '70 (F-100) was fuel injected / electronic ignition. 25 years of futzing with that thing has gotten old.TikkaShooter said:Quote:

I totally get the love for an old carb engine... but there are days I wish my 86 was an EFI!
Great looking Bronco. Love the color combo. That interior is going to clean up nice!

Unless a different tail pipe was installed, it is either a 300 i6 or 302. Probably the 302, but the tailpipe looks odd. Does not look stock, but I can't say for sure just from that pic. Maybe its the angle.
