4X4 E-150

I was thinking about injecting the 351W my 85 bronco then found a 96 E-150 with a 302 for about the same $$. The AOD slips but it is in great shape otherwise. My C-6 with t-case should bolt up and I can fabricate a crossmember. The suspension looks so similar I am wondering if I can swap my 4x4 front suspension & driveline parts to the van. That would be an even better camping vehicle than the Bronco. Any thought's??
Thanks in advance for any advice.

others have done similar swaps, there are several threads to read through, and some time you need to spend with a tape measure making sure things will line up

I dont mean to sound short...It will work if you spend the time and have the fab skills to lay it all out and put it together.Years ago i built my 4x4 van and it was a bit of work.

Thanks guys! Crash, you don't sound short at all. My fab skills and equipment are limited which is why I posted the question here in the 1st place. I was just trying to decide wethere to keep my beloved but needy Bronco or make it a parts doner for a camper van. I'll keep investigating but in the meantime please keep any and all advise coming
