Motor swap ?

My brother has a 84 bronco with the 6 cyl. He is wanting to swap to a v8, 302 or 351 W. We was thinking of just looking a for a cheap truck with the 8 already in it , so we would have the radiator and everything we need. Will a 2wd truck work or do we need to find 4wd truck for the oil pan?

In my opinion, the 302 is not an upgrade from the 300. If you're going to do all that work, you'd be much better off going with a 351.

i agree the 300 will do better for pulling, and im not ever sure weather its a direct swap like a 302 to 351w is. ud be best to get the other truck since u might need the trany to. and as for 4x4 or 2wd u need the 4wd oil pan for the bronco.
