There should be some of those valve covers used on ebay.

I have seen finned "Bronco" valve covers. Would be cool.
If you were closer I'd do the heads for you. Email me if you want some tips.
I agree with the efi for offroading, but I have done a lot of carbs for offroadracing in the past. Just more HP than you are planning.
Good luck. One of my dreamcars is a pre-'77 Bronco

Edit... Nope the '86 was 285 ft lb @ 3000, while the '87-'92 is 300 lb @ 3200... The '93 is only rated at 275 ft lbs @ 3000, which basically proves on a stock engine, the SD system makes more HP...


The 1993 engines were the same as 1992 with the only difference being the change over to hypereutectic pistons.

The reason for the change in the rating for 1993 was that Ford revised their internal testing procedure for rating an engines power to better reflect a more realistic engine output. Previously the rating was obtained by hand assembling an engine with production parts and then using this one engine for the test.
1993 and later testing uses randomly selected engines off of the production line get the power rating.

Sounds like you have most of the info you need.
Additionally, the truck efi upper is an excellent low speed performer. The so roller cam, supposedly, is the same spec as what is in my 93 Bronco. Which may be a flat tappet cam in a roller block? It's never had any major engine work, 189K.
It definately has speed density, so firing order, and 19lb injectors. I believe it has bank fire injection. It has been a great truck!
That could be a possible computer choice with the so roller cam and 19#'s

I found an 89 LSC in a local yard. If I can get it cheap enough, I'm going to grab the upper/tb/egr, injectors, ecu, and exhaust manifolds. I dunno about trying for the cam. They are trying to talk me into the whole motor for cheap...

That would pretty much get you set. Don't bother with the harness form the Mark VII. The Sport has a much easier to work with harness for the swap.
