Smile 7.3L v. 351w

i have a 96 ford bronco with a 351w and im thinking about puting a 7.3L engine in it. would it be worth biluding up the 351 and just keeping that motor in the truck or would the 7.3L engine work better if so what would i have to do to get that engine to work in my bronco?

well a 7.3 swap will cost a minimum of $5k easy. especially if you are not a fabricator/electrician etc...

building up a 5.8 for that year bronco is pretty easy since its OBD-II efi but will still require some tuning of the efi system to get it dialed in. Or just build a sturdy above stock 5.8 and enjoy the reliability.
