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 Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.
Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start
Fri, 17 May 2013We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.
Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
