The 390 is a hoss. I had one in a 66 Galaxie. Not a bad motor, good power can be had in the low end. It was in Ford Pickups in the same era. It is the same block as the 352 and 360 Engines. The problem would be finding a transmission to connect to it. It's in the FE family I believe.

what year is your bronco? If you have a four speed you will only need a bellhousing, the 390 shares engine mount perches with the 300 six if I am not mistaken. I don't think it would be a terribly difficult swap in a 78 or 79 but might be trouble in something newer.

I see where the engine comes with a flywheel.
Flywheel, not flexplate (the same 352/360/390 flexplate was used on all A/T trans [COM or C6] car & truck).
The following info applies to 1965/76 F100/350's & 1965/71 cars (GT's or not).
352/360's use one flywheel: Marked C5AE-6380-J / 12 3/8" bolt circle.
390's use another: Marked: C5AE-6380-K / 12 7/8" bolt circle.
352/360 = the stroke is 3.50"
390 = the stroke is 3.78"
================================================== ===========
F100/350's with 390's didn't offer 4V carbs till 1974.
No 352 or 360 engine installed in a F100/350 came from the factory with a 4V carb.
