The new bogger -Buckshot?!

Well last summer I bought a 351c, trans and tcase without a real plan on where or what I was going to do with it. Well I sold the Toyota and going to put it in a full size frame. I didn't really want to just drop in the motor and hope for the best so I tore it apart and researched what I had and here's what I found. Block is a D2AE-CA which is a Cleveland cobra jet! The heads are 2 barrel huge valves and ports. The cylinders are stock bore with flat top pistons and 2 bolt mains. Also a edelbrock intake. Ordered all my gaskets and head bolts and most all of the other parts I'm going to need. While I'm waiting for those I gutted the body that was on the frame I bought. 3 hours later, the body is bare. The next day I get a call saying my other body I been wanting is available. So I pulled this bronco 2 body last night. Now have to extend the frame 8.5" to fit the other body. Then when parts come put my motor together and get ready to make engine mounts and trans and tcase mounts. And that's where it's at right now. Here's some pics

If there isn't any trucks around here with the name BUCKSHOT, then I think that's what it's going to be. Let me know what you guys think.

If your going to a explorer, why not just stick to the bronco 2

Cool sounds like its going to be cool

Hoping so. Dropping too much $ and go fast parts in it for it to be a pile. And time too. Also damaging my liver.

I'm taking it the bronco body was shot, I can't see the pictures from my phone so I have no idea what your project is looking like

Nah, it's not too bad really. It's got a couple holes but nothing extreme

Got the new body up on the hoist and cut the frame to lengthen it 8.5" and tack welded it. I'll finish welding the frame up tonight and start making body mounts.
