I had an 86 bronco with a 300 6 and a 4 spd. I was reliable and would have lasted a long time if I didn't beat the crap out of it. I drove a tree through the grille and rad. Replaced with a 3 core from an old buick and held it in with ratchet straps. Broke the motor mount trying to do burnouts, held it down with more ratchet straps. Then used it to move 4 hrs away then put tow truck lights on it and used it as a yard unit in the junkyard. Then it caught fire. The only problems were caused by driving like a retard. It didn't really ever break down but I did leave it in the bush a few times after burring it in mud.
