1967 bronco needs engine and tranny ques

[Jeremy0201]

Hello I have a 67 bronco coming my way but it has no engine and no tranny so I need one. So I guess there was a 289 in it.. I see that a 302 with tranny is avail to purchase would that fit right in or would I have to change the rear diff etc.. I am very new to old cars but I work on old motorcycles of the english sort for fun so I can learn?? What can I put in or look out for etc Which would be the right tranny for the 67 many questions please get me started... Thanks Jeremy

What is the 67 set up for... An auto or 3 speed... I would just buy a nice used drivetrain and drop it in... Unless you want to go the route of a 302 HO motor...
What type of rig are you building? Trail, cruiser, show?

All early broncos came with a 9" rear end regardless of engine. If your '67 was originally a 289, the 302 will bolt right up. If it was originally a six cylinder, you'll need to make some changes.

Your '67 would have originally came with a three speed manual transmission regardless of engine. That would be the easiest and cheapest tranny to drop in, but there are numerous good choices, both auto and manual.

If you look in the tech section to the left, there are transmission guides that list the pros and cons of the most popular swaps for our EBs.

Hello thanks for the replies, It was a three in the tree setup I want to put a 302 in it for starters just want it as a fun vehicle for the roads no real offroading.. I looks like I could get a tranny and 302 out of a 72 that was a 3 on the tree as well but no transfer case.. Would this setup work is it just the dana 20 t case that I would need to find?? Thanks

If it was out of a bronco u should be fine. And that would just mean hunting down the t-case and any misc parts that might be missing

Should be able to find a whole setup easily. might want to tell us what part of the country you are in. Many times people near you may have just what you need. 3 speed trannys are usually free or dirt cheap, tcases are pretty cheap as well. And 302's can be found but any 302 can work if you change the oil pan to the 4wd version or late model mustang type.

I'm in Tucson AZ. I found a 302 tranny 3spd and the t case 400 bucks. Any mounting concerns or parts I should replace while it's out etc.. Also what's the best manual to have!! This is awesome I pick up the 67 tomorrow!!!!! ;D thanks jeremy
