4 Wheel Drive/SUVs: Engine swap??, ford bronco ii, painless performance products

Question
Hello, Carl.  We have a 1986 Ford Bronco II and wondered if it is possible, feasible to swap out the 2.8L engine that is in there for a 305 or 350 engine.  Please let us know if you think this could work...

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Kenndra,

This type of swap is possible, and done quite often.  A good place to contact, would be Advance Adapters, as they sell conversion kits for most vehicles.  They can let you know what is available.  You may have to do a little welding for new motor or transmission mounts.  The year motor you put in will determine how many modifications you will have to make.  
A couple of other places to contact for conversion parts would be Dennis Carpenter Bronco, or James Duff.  
If you have wiring problems, a company called Painless Wiring can supply you with a complete wiring harness for the conversion.
