1990 Ford Bronco 4x4 Fuel Injected 5.0 With Low Miles Removable Top! on 2040-cars
Sun Valley, California, United States
Selling my 1990 Ford BRONCO XLT with removable top. It has a fuel injected 5.0 engine from a 1992 Crown Victoria, that gets 16MPG on the freeway. The engine has just around 100K miles on it and the truck itself has 116.5K. The engine runs strong, smooth, and quiet...can't even hear it idle at a stoplight. Two different mechanics that worked on the truck commented about how impressed they were with this engine. It does leak a bit of oil but runs very strong. The transmission shifts just as it should. It is a 4WD but, the motor that engages the 4WD went out and needs replacement. The part is 80-100 dollars and the Bronco Forum says it's about a half-hour job. The interior is in fair shape...not great but, not bad. There are no cracks in the dashboard. There is a 1-year old AM/FM/CD player with USB input and 4 speakers. The rear seat is removable and in great shape. The body is pretty straight with a small ding near the spare tire and a dent/wrinkle thing near the passenger side door. A paint job would make this ole Bronc look great. I have to sell because I need a van and cannot afford to have both. I bought this Bronco with the idea to totally restore it. I have put 2,500 dollars into it over the last 6 months. I have receipts. Below is a list of those things replaced: HEATER CORE --- WATER PUMP --- FAN ---SPARK PLUGS --- POWER STEERING PUMP --- POWERSTEERING PRESSURE SWITCH --- FUEL PUMP --- SPARK PLUGS --- ACCEL IGNITION PARTS (Cap, Rotor, Wires, SuperCoil) --- WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR --- STARTER --- 4X4 SWITCH --- FIRESTONE DESTINATION A/T TIRES (4K miles; w/warranty). Within the last year these parts were also replaced: RADIATOR --- HOSES --- THERMOSTAT --- CATALYTIC CONVERTER --- BATTERY --- STEERING BOX (rebuilt). There are a few issues still to deal with but, nothing that would prevent you from using this as a daily driver, right now. It is currently my daily driver. I drive it on 120 mile round trips up the coast, all of the time. Truck purrs like a kitten! Here are known issues: Crack in windshield, 4WD motor, oil leak, Oil Pressure Gauge, Latch for Center Console, Driver Floor Mat, Wiper Knob, and occasional 'whine' from rear (bearing or something?) that's been that way since I got the truck and never been a problem, even on a 350 mile trip. That's about it. Please email any questions prior to purchase. I reserve the right to nullify auction results if ebay system is interrupted during final hour of bidding. I also reserve the right to end auction early if truck sells locally. Winning Bidder responsible for shipping/pickup. I will cooperate with shipping company as much as possible. I will pick you up at LAX or Burbank Airport, if you want to fly in and drive home. Full Payment due within 48 hours of close of auction. This Bronc will be a nice, dependable beast for many years to come. |

Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
