what is better
im gotta buy another bronco. cause my 89 is messed up bad. i have a choice out of 2 and was wondering what i should get, here are my choices. 90 eddie bower with aod atomatic transmission, it also has auto hubs. 302 with a new motor and rear end with 12000 miles end its kinda rusted but arnt most broncos??? it need a new auto hub on the passenger side and needs tie rod ends im not sure how the floor board are. yet i havnt relly looked.
here is the other choice an 86 bronco with a 351 w c6 auto trans and a new holley carb it nees brake work and a new rear tire carrier and a few other minor things
the 90 has over 150000 miles on it im not sure what the 86 has mileage wise.
what bronco is more reliable and a wiser purchase.
thanks in advance
the price on both are the same

it's really up to what you like the 80s style or 90s. and you have to think about gas milage between the 302 and the 351 if that matters to you. in my opinion I would go with the 86, because the manual locking hubs more reliable and the bigger cubes and you can stuff 33s under it with out a lift and I'm not sure if you can do that with the 90s style.

I've alays been more of a fan of carbs and hate working on EFI stuff. You will have a harder time finding parts for the 86, though, but I also favor the 351 over the 302, Add my vote for the C-6 over the problematic AOD, also.
