I am selling my 1979 Ford Bronco RangerXLT with intercooled 5.9l Cummins Turbo Diesel out of a 1993 D250. This truck is a beast and very fun to drive, The truck was originally equipped with a 351m which was removed and installed the Cummins. The diesel has about 128,000 miles on it which is nothing, these engines go 500,000 miles very easily, the turbo functions flawlessly as well as the engine it is very strong running and starts up within a split second. The transmission is a heavy duty c6/New Process 205 transfer case combo with Ford 9" differential. Adapter plate and custom flywheel, starter Purchased From destroked.com for 1800 dollars. If you are planning on doing this conversion yourself let me give you a rundown on what it will take. FIrst off you will need to find a clean 79 Bronco which is going to cost you upwards of 4,000$ for a Decent one then you will need to find a Cummins. The first gen was my choice due to the simplicity of the wiring(no computer involved) so find one from 89-93(92 and 93 being the intercooled version, which mine is) then you are looking at a minimum of 2,000 dollars for the engine(look at the prices on ebay for a used one) then shipping costs arent cheap. Once you have your engine you will need to put all new seals as well as fix the killer dowel pin which is a problem on the 12valves that needs to be adressed before it ruins your engine(if you dont know what it is google it.) You WIll then have to remove all the front grill radiator and everything to be able to slide the engine and tranny in. All the little engineering of motor mounts wiring getting everything put together is very time consuming and all the little parts here and there get very pricy. You need to have an exhaust made. You are looking at a big project which took me almost two months to complete. To have this done for you it will end up costing you over 15,000 dollars. This one is already done and ready to go. I am auctioning it of but I do have a reserve price so if the bidding doesnt get up high enough I will not sell myself short because I dont have to sell it and enjoy driving it. Also this Bronco has the Removable top with sliding side windows on the shell, New Tires and New American Racing rims and enigne has factory block heater so if you live in a really cold area you can plug it in overnight and it will be nice and toasty for you. Happy Bidding

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2
Mon, 21 Jul 2014If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
