Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I recently picked up an '87 Bronco II with a lift 6 in. Skyjacker lift in it. It is a 2.9l with automatic tranny and manual transfer case. With the 2.9l it is a little underpowered. And judging from the reactions of some guys who've done the 4.0l swap, I really want to go this route. I have a couple questions. What year 4.0l would you recommend for simplicity? Will it bolt to my existing transmission and work well?
If it is actually better to do the full drivetrain swap what is the recommended list of donor vehicles M/T and A/T?
I'd like to keep this B2 because the body is very clean(no rust) and it is just a cool lil rig.
I'm no stranger to gettin' dirty, just need a good solid base to start from before I tear into it. Thanks. I'll post pics after a little research and have the parts or donor vehicle to start this project.
