That is one sweet as Bronco, one of these days I'd like to own an early 70's Bronco and drop a 5.0L FI motor in it as I don't think I could afford to build a Cummins 4BT, and dam that thing is 700lbs, but 28-30mpg!

the newer-ish ('02 up) F-250/350's have a fuel cut off switch that activates when they roll. found this out one cold morning drive home.
