engine swap advice?

I have a 71 f100 swb 4x4 390 4 speed. I have a chance to buy a 95 bronco with the 351w and od. The plan is to swap the engine/tranny/transfercase and wiring harness in my 71. Has anyone done this? Is it a good idea? The truck wont be abused too bad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You may increase you mpg's a little with the efi system, should fit with no problem and you may need to do a small amount of fab work with shifter location and you will also need the computer and wiring harness as well as a electric fuel pump and so on.

hi i am planning an auto to manual swap.

would you be interested in selling some parts that you won't need no more?
like bell housing fly wheel pedal assembly? etc?
i have been looking for a manual truck in my body style to get those parts from and to drop the price of the conversion kit.
