1971 Ford Bronco LS Turbo AWD

1971 Ford Bronco Restomod

This not your average, or even normal frame off restoration. This car is an absolute rocket convertible! The idea was simple enough, I wanted to make a bronco low and fast while it still had the appearance of a classic Bronco. I did not want to slam it to the ground so we made it roughly 8" wider at both axles. This was ulimately a wise decision when we felt how much power this thing puts down to the ground. Keep in mind, I have left out some of the minor things that were replaced as to not overwhelm you with minutia. However, know that this is a carefully thought out and meticulously executed restomod. Let's start with what matters most, the engine!
