That motor looks awesome, it's not really fair man. I gave up on me doing a swap, the diesel options for this Bronco are terrible. I will not put a cummins in it..

think I'm just going to save up and buy a new crate Coyote or an Ecoboost 6cyl.

A good option is a V8 diesel.....I know a couple of Broncos with 7.3 and 6.9 and they have a lot of power.....but those engine are very hard to find and rebuilding them importing the parts would cost at least 7K!!!....

Wow, you guys sure do some interesting swaps.

I've only done one engine swap, and that was from a 4.9 300 I6 to a 400 V8.

Man if someone puts in eco-boost in a bronco I'd love to see that. Save probably 200# and all that boosted torque ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH( Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.)
