Heads an easy fix we like spoke about!

I’m excited for the next chapter as you’re going a route I wish I could with another car for the fun of it

I spent a little more time looking them over and I think 95% of the damage is superficial and will clean up taking .010 off. Exhaust valve is either bent or has trash in the seat. But yeah, easy fix for sure.

I picked up these this weekend:



Ill pull the cam out this week and make sure its good then I'm 99% complete on this new motor.


I'll update on the bronco later. Short of it is the issue the whole time is loose pins at the PCM/Harness connection

EFF THIS BRONCO, MAN! Posting here too since a lot of the wiring is similar.

When you turn the key on, the brake lights come on. The hazard flashers do not work, the L turn signal works, the R turn signal does not. When you turn the key off, lights go off and the hazards work.

The ONLY modifications to the body harness I made are:

• Jumper for the NSS on the truck side of the trans harness plug
• Trans harness is gone due to use of 6R80
• Jumper from pk/grn wire under steering column to fuel pump relay to supply key on power to relay.
• ECM is gone, plug is still intact.

I have replaced the bulbs, multifunction switch, blinker relay in the fuse panel, checked all fuses.

I have a Chilton manual and have studied the body harness diagram. something in the key on circuit seems to be causing this issue but I'm stumped. The daytime running light module seems to be absent and fuse 3 and circuitry seems to be missing as well. (missing pre-swap)

Happy to take more photos of harness, etc. but I think its all pretty basic.
