If you go to http://www.broncodata.com/reference/partnumber.htm there is a parts decoder that decodes the e7te to a 1987 bronco engine. But for some reason it decodes the distributer to an 86 t-bird.

T= all trucks. it doesnt narrow down to a bronco engine

E7TE= 87 truck engine

Ok, so I'll never know for sure then. What should I do about the distributer? And if I'm eliminating my A/C will I need the dryer (I think that's what's inside the plastic cover inside the engine bay, I posted a pic) I'm about to go cutthr hole in the floor board and cut that as well. Thanks for the help.

is there a PA after the E7TE

[onewontwo]

Where's the casting number at? I just remembered the e7te, I'd have to check for the rest. I'm working on it now so it's no problem.

[Ranger Dave]

should be under the head inbetween the pushrod holes

[onewontwo]

There is a t and a pa.

[Ranger Dave]

you have the heads off? are the pistons flat top with 4 valve reliefs??

[onewontwo]

Pistons are flat top, not sure aboutthe valve reliefs. I'm not in the garage anymore. I'll have to let you know later.
