86 F150 4wd 5.0 swap ?

[bamabaja]

So I bought the F150 for the NP 435, and decided to spent a little money to check engine, and tests out fine. Estate sale farm truck and had sat since farmers death. While plenty of Explorer swap info, what am I gonna run into on the F150 motor, transfer and transmission swap ? Assume crossmembers, mounts etc. if swap even feasible. Thinking of dropping in an off road build since only got $400 in truck, so if any driving time would be gravy. Thanks.

The transfer case is wider than the distance between the Bronco frame rails, that will be a big problem.

What intake and fuel system do you plan on using?

Transfer case won't fit (too wide)
EFI won't clear the hood.
Just a mid 80's flat tappet truck 302 engine. It will be a roller block, but still a flat tappet cam.

Thanks, folks. Knew there were reasons no real info on this particular swap. Much better choices are available. So will just enjoy my farm truck. Thanks again.
