a modular?
anybody ever heard of putting a modular engine in a bronco, i was thinking the lightnings 5.4 or a 4.6 police interceptor from a crown vic, use a 5 or 6 speed from a superduty, and maybe custom make engine mounts, unless there is some out there that will work?

Well, I think the 4.6L would be worth t cause it puts out more than our 351w do. But yea, if I had a choice I would go for a 5.4L
You guys know that ford is putting out a new 5.0L crate motor, it's based off the 4.6 5.4 mod engine and its 302ci. 5.0L with DOHC. best of all, It come with a intake so you can oput a carb ontop. If I have the money, I would drop one into my 82. I'ts supposed too come out very soon.

4.6 vs 351
I have a 71 351w in my mustang. According to the old books, it was rated stock @ 240hp w/2bbl carb. I read that the 98 continental w/4.6 & dual ohc system similar to the cobra mustang is rated @ 265 hp. stock. I hate to admit it, but technology is a great thing. Better gas mileage @ better power. The 351w engine is an easier bolt in replacement for the 302 than the 4.6 motor is. Good luck either way.
