Engine swap questions 302
Buddy of mine has a 94 bronco that is SD with a blown up 302. I have a parts f150 here with a 302, but it is a 96 model with OBD 2. I know that the block itself is the same. Is this a pretty straight forward swap? As in using the 94 engine harness and accessories? Its just a mud truck, so all the emissions and what not will be removed. I just want to know what all I have to do with the engine before I start tearing into it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Bray has it right, remove the upper intake on the '96 and strip everything OBD2 specific of it(wiring and EGR) and it'll bolt right into the '94.

I would've preferred to have the OBD2 stuff myself, I thought about grabbing a MAF setup at one point, but have given up on doing anything more than maintaining my vehicles. No projects. MAF gives you more cam choices just like a carb setup, but if you're not into that, then yes it's not difficult to go backwards.

If it were an OBD1 truck with MAF, I would have used everything to convert his truck to MAF. But considering that it is OBD 2 and basically EVERYTHING is different, I don't really feel like going through all the wiring changes on a vehicle that will no longer see the road.
