1985 Bronco II

[Ronniejones13]

Hey guys, I'm knew to the forum. I have a 1985 bronco II and just recently got my hands on a 2000 for explore with 125k miles. I'll be using it for the engine swap. I know I'll need the ECU and wiring loom but not sure about anything else. Your input would be greatly appreciated.


Hm. I guess I'm not new...

I guess you are looking at doing a 4.0L swap?

Lots have done this work over on TRS and that board is more active.

I've heard doing a dash swap (including harness) can make things easier. Not sure how it all applies with the 85. I have only had 87, 88 and 89 BIIs. the 85 would be a 2.8L I believe. I know the body and interiors are mostly the same, but not sure about the wiring harness and what you may run into there.

Thank you. I'll check them out.
