- 1985 Bronco II
Hello there. New to the ford world but not new to mechanics or swaps. So far I have put a fuel injected SBC into my S10 and a carbed SBC into a mazda rx7.
I recently aquired a 85 bronco 2 with a very tired carbed 2.8 and a 5 speed. The truck itself is nice, has a 4" rough country lift and 2" body lift, and sits on 32's. But it needs a new power plant badly. So today I picked up a 97 exploder with a rebuilt sohc 4.0 for $200. The plan is to keep my 5 speed and just swap the 4.0 in, then scrap the explorer. Is there anything I need to watch out for?? Any tips you guys have for this swap?? I am quite confident on my wiring skills so wiring should be no problem.
Thanks!
