Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can experience leaks, reducing braking efficiency.
Brake fade
Overheating of the brake components can lead to reduced braking power.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can wear out, causing a loss of hydraulic pressure.
Brake caliper sticking
Calipers can seize, leading to uneven braking and increased wear.
Engine overheating
V-shaped engines can have uneven cooling, leading to potential overheating issues.
Valve train problems
V6 engines can experience issues with the valve train, affecting performance.
Ignition system failure
Older models like the 1984 Bronco II can have ignition system issues, leading to misfires.
Fuel delivery issues
Problems with the fuel pump or injectors can cause poor engine performance.
Timing belt/chain issues
The timing mechanism can wear out, leading to potential engine damage.
Vacuum leaks
Older vehicles may develop vacuum leaks, affecting engine performance and braking.

Other Engine Info
Turbo charged w/ Intercooler
Problems:
Overheating
Turbocharged engines tend to generate more heat, and the cooling systems in older models like the 1984 Ford Mustang may struggle to keep the engine at optimal temperatures.
Turbo lag
Older turbocharged engines may experience a delay in throttle response, known as turbo lag, due to less advanced turbo technology available in 1984.
Oil leaks
Turbocharged engines often operate under higher pressures, which can lead to oil leaks, particularly in an older vehicle where seals and gaskets may have deteriorated.
Worn intercooler
The intercooler in a turbocharged system can become less effective over time, leading to reduced performance and increased engine temperatures.
Fuel system issues
The fuel injection system in a 1984 model may not be as reliable or efficient as modern systems, potentially causing issues with fuel delivery and engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The increased pressure and heat from the turbocharger can cause the exhaust manifold to crack, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced performance.
Ignition system problems
Older vehicles like the 1984 Mustang may have less advanced ignition systems, which can lead to misfires and poor engine performance, especially under the added stress of a turbocharger.
