When the vehicle was first released

The standard engine for the Bronco was the 105-hp 170-cid inline six-cylinder Falcon unit, however, a more powerful addition came on March 2, 1966, when the factory announced the availability of an optional 289-cid V8, which developed 200-hp, and the V8 engine was enlarged to 302-cubic-inches with 205-hp in 1969.

The new Ford Bronco was a hit with the motoring press, Car Life said this about the new small-sized Ford 4x4: "The heart of this vehicle's goat-ability, however, lies in the 2-speed transfer case behind the transmission".
