Bronco w/ a blown Motor

Hey, I have a 1991 f-250, w/ a brand new 302 v8, but the engine is just way too small for the truck. I'm getting horrible gas mileage, and horrible power. So I want to buy a bronco w/ a blown motor and install my 302 in it. Just wondering if anyone has one that they would be willing to sell. Preferably in the North-west, but may be able to work out shipping. I live in Idaho. Thanks.

Nate

wouldn't be cheaper to put some performance parts on the new 302?

Not sure which F250 you have, but Broncos aren't particularly light either.
What's your mpg? How big are your tires?

find a bronco with a 5.8 , swap the 302 into the bronco and put the 5.8 into your f250 and sell the bronco.

A Bronco isn't that much lighter than an F-250. I've not been impressed with the 302 powered Broncos I've driven. Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. There are others who disagree.

I like Kem's idea, though.
