Ford Performance Crate Engine Swap

[mmoroge]

Does anyone have personal experience with installing this engine in a circa 73 stock bronco? I am wondering if it has adequate hood clearance without the need for a body lift or hood scoop, as well as any other compability issues that might pertain.
Thanks

302 or 351 and what induction?

I don't think that air gap intake will fit under the stock hood. No personal experience with it on a Bronco but as I recall it's tall.

Not to worry...Scoop the hood.....I had to with my EFI......

Most of those crate engines come set-up for a street car like a mustang. If you plan on using the bronco off road the cam and rpm range are gonna be wrong. Can it fit yes but I'd rather go to a local machine shop and have it built for how I'm gonna use it. On the same note I'd prefer a 351w to a 347

Are ford X2 heads a better version of the aluminum gt-40x heads they use to make?

If you decide to order a Ford Performance anything, make sure its in stock first. My block won't ship till June of 2023!

Man, that dude selling the "Ford Strokers" 427 earlier this week is looking like someone got a mighty sweet deal. Swap intakes and it will drop right in.
