1993 to 1972 Ford Bronco engine swap??

Question: Im in the process of purchasing a 302/ 5.0 fuel injected engine from a 1993 Ford Bronco. Does this fit my 1972 Ford Bronco?

As i recall from reading somewhere on here, the 93 Bronco has the tall intake manifold. You'll likely need a body lift, probably a hood bubble, lower motor mounts etc. to clear the intake. It would fit better if you bolt on a mustang or explorer intake combo.

Look at this on the BC Broncos site...does the intake look like the one one the 351 http://www.bcbroncos.com/fuelefi.html

Engine, yes.

EFI, not a good choice, too tall. The BC intake adaptor won't work, it only works on the 351 lower. The truck 302 lower does not work on anything other then a truck 302 (tall) upper.

x2 what Broncobowsher said. I'm doing a 89 (non-roller) from a full size bronco right now. It is pretty cool to have the newer 5.0 upgrades such as the dip stick in the block, newer casting technology, aftermarket parts availible, option to go roller if you choose.
I'm staying flat tappet and sticking on my eddie intake and eddie 500cfm.

Im using an 88 bronco 302. just switched over to the mustang intake. bought the RJM harness. Still putting it all together so i dont know how it runs just yet. should be good to go for the most part. You will have to get the explorer/mustang serp setup. There is not enough clearance with out some mods to your 93 stock bronco serp.

Yes, you can use everything except the intake & plenum. On Frank's '75, we used a CrownVic intake & plenum (same as Mustang, but pointing L), and I just rearranged the wiring & vacuum lines to fit. It runs great, and is his only vehicle.

Thanks for the input.

There is hole in the block for the clutch bracket.It is easier to drill this hole with the engine out.
