300 I6 Drop in?

Hi ya'all!

I have a '77 F150 4 speed 4wd that currently has a broke down 351m in it. I have a bead on a '84 Bronco 4wd 4 speed that has a 300 I6 in it. I'm seriously thinking about picking up the Bronco and dropping the 300 in my truck, with long range plans of building the 351 in hopes of someday finding an early Bronco to put it in. The Bronco seems to run well, I can get it for what I think is a fair price, and I could use some of the other stuff off it for my pickup. The seat for one. Whoever owned my truck before me, welded a bench seat to the floor. Sure makes it difficult to adjust it. Mirrors I can use too, tires, etc. Whatever I don't I can sell or swap with our local toy store aka junk yard, for anything else I may need, or sell it. Any experience or thoughts about dropping the 300 in?
Thanks!

Rich

I did it with my 79 bronco (had a 400) It's a lot of work, starting with the frame mounts.
