Gary Lewis Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 It is nice, but not that nice. And, it isn't a Cleveland engine, if that's what "v8 Cleveland" is meant to say, unless someone has changed the original engine out. The M-Block was used for 1980 and '81 (82 in the F250's and 350's), and they can be mistaken for the Cleveland as they use the same valve covers and several other parts. But the Windsor was phased in during '82 and by '85 the only options in the Bronco were the 4.9L six, 302, and 351W. So if it is a Cleveland it has been swapped in, and that begs the question of what else was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 So if it is a Cleveland it has been swapped in, and that begs the question of what else was done? Those Rosewood bezels were probably swapped in....or maybe it's not actually an '85 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passenger side air vents have silver edge, and the seat fabric is 80-84 style. The HVAC control panel has the solid color wedges and the transfer case shift knob looks like the splines type which says 83 or 84. Between those two I’m going to say that the interior plastic looks like Canyon Red to my eyes, not the 80-83 red. So I’m going to say I think it’s a 1984.
