expo swap 2

dont think i,ll be getting that expo swap if it costs that much. i'll think hard about the 351. but isnt the 351 less cost efficient than the 302. i would love the extra torque and hp, but hate to burn more gas than i already am. these suckers can drink! saw in the galleries a 351 with 20's on it. looked fine. see, im in the city, the only off-road action im seein is dodging potholes. the bronco is my daily driver,so im not really pulling or hauling things. love my bronco though but any vehicle i've had i had to improve its performance. i figured by it being police issued it would have good shocks and engine mods already. nope.
i will take the advice and get rims and tires first. maybe 20's with a 2'' lift. then the engine and then a paint job. thanks for the advice.

just so you know my old 302 got 12 city and 13 hwy. now with the 351w i swapped in last summer i get 12 city and 16 hwy. and all the power i need. so it was well worth it . its also depends on how you drive it. the biger motor doesnt work as hard to move the bronco as a smaller motor would so you use less fuel that way. i agree that a 2" with tires and wheels would suit ya good. get pics when your done.
