motor replacement
hey haven't posted in a while but here it goes.
i totaled my 97 f250 extended cab 4x4 with a 351w thing was a beauty it still runs but the frame is twisted and the cab got hit by my trailer on both sides so its time to go. i had 2 89 broncos in the past and i think its time for another!
so heres what's up i found a 95 bronco the body and frame are mint but the motor is shot it was a 351w and has ben removed to be rebuilt the guy wants $1,000 no motor i was thinking of taking the motor out of my f250 and trowing it in i have only done 2 jobs pulling a motor and they were in ch**y's I was a body man for a few years so im not quite sure what in getting in to here is there any thing with sensors or bolting up that i should be aware of?
thanks for the feed back in advance

I also agree^^ I thought the same when I first bought mine but I put in a 2.5" Rough Country Lift and it was much needed. Coil was broken shocks were toast. I can fit 33"s on no problem with this lift to. Cost was about 415$ including shipping.

you can fit 33's on that year bronco with zero lift. just shim the front bumper forward about 1/4 -1/2 inches using washers.

I know the feeling of having to wait for money to lift, i want to get rid of my 3" body spacers that came on my 78 bronco and put a 4" suspension under it. Body lifts are nice when you have to put your hands on the top of the frame cause you have the extra space but it can be dangerous too.
