I'm trying to get away from the 245HP that the motor came stock with. I would like to keep the stock EFI if I can get say 400HP on pump gas. I will be running 39.5" boggers for playing in the mud. I'm not a mud drag or TTC guy just a wortking stiff who would like to play in the mud on the weekends with my boys.

The Bronco has a Recently rebuilt C-6 and a good transfer case. The guy who rebuilt them said they would easily handle 450-500 lbs of torque.

I would rather break a driveline/u-joint or axle shaft rather than run out of power. I can always bolt on running gear additions but rebuilding/installing a new motor seems more time consuming.

I guess I've always been the guy who started with a good motor and worked outward.

The last thing I want to be is "all show and no go."

I just have to say thanks for all your great information. You guys really seem to be in the know.

The FI heads and FI intake must be kept as a set. The carb heads, carb intakes carb exhaust manifolds must be kept as a set as well. They are not interchangble among each other. If you want 400 hp with the OEM FI fuel system and the OEM FI top end, you are pushing the limits of the OEM FI system.

400 hp would be much easier with ported E6TE heads, aluminum intake, bigger carab and a camshaft.
