I've seen one, but it was uuugly.
The guy had to stretch the front of the Bronco (read: forward of the door) 11 inches to fit it in there. He also stretched the rear a few inches, not sure of how much.
It seems that someone frequently someone pops in here to ask about putting a big block in, but I've yet to see a successful one besides the one I listed above. If you do it, let us know how it works out. Preferrably with step-by-step pictures and a write up.

I remember a few years back that there was an early Bronco in four wheeler magazines top truck challenge that had a 460 in it and it looked stock in bodily dimentions, so it must be possible, but its not a project that I would undertake due to the huge size and weight issues- if you want that many cubic inches put your time and money towards a stroked 351
