Another new guy
New guy here, bought a 10 year old Street Beast kit that is a rolling chassis at this point. Yes, I know about the issues with Street Beast.
No engine or tranny and has the following put together at this point: * Front coil over done with 11 inch discs * 8.8 rear installed with 4 lug drums Currently wrapping up another project (66 Bronco) so will not start working on it till the fall. The plan 302 or 351 - might get a F4TE roller 351 and keep bottom end and update with Alum heads, new cam, etc. Hoping for 300 - 350 HP. Upgrade rear end to 5 lug and disc brakes - not sure where to get the parts T5 tranny Thats all for now. |
Welcome to the forum. Lots of folks here to help you spend your money.
|
I just finished 2 early bronco restorations and about to start a 3rd, so I am real good at spending $$.
I am glad I will not have to replace any sheet metal on the cobra. |
Welcome. That's right there is always a way to spend more. My wife can't even keep up! :LOL:
|
Welcome Tom. There are any number of rear disc brake conversions available. As far as the axles, you can find them in the salvage yard from a Ford Ranger. The Rangers two sides are different lengths. You will need two from the short side. Forged axles are available from Moser and a couple other places in the $250 range per pair. Good luck with your build.

Thanks all, I had heard that the Ranger might be a source for the axles. Would it matter if it is a 4 or 6 cylinder truck? What vendor would you recommend for the rear disc conversion?
Also, I scored a 351 yesterday with the part number of F4TE - 6015 - AA. It will need a rebuild, but it did come with all the parts. I will try and take it apart over the 4th of July weekend and then get it to the engine builder. |
Greetings from Arizona

Welcome, as others have said the help you will receive here is amazing.

Welcome and good luck with your build, Tom. I also have a 66 Bronco (289, 3 speed). I think Broncos and Cobras make great stable mates! My Cobra will be here next month, but here's a picture of the Bronco:
