Hello everyone, my wife recently purchased a 74 Bronco. It had gone thru a moderate restoration before purchase. Paint, interior, brakes n motor etc.
I have added a Holley Snyper EFI kit and that has been great...until. Its seems we have either lost a ring or valve. Regardless, after further inspection it doesn't seem like the previous mechanical work on the truck was done with much competence. So, its time to make a choice of a tearing into the old V8 or going with something more modern. The frame has some rust thru spots on the rails and I am planning on replacing the frame this winter in MN.
I am looking for information on doing a simple motor swap. I am also looking into a Coyote swap, but that would be a long shot. Can anyone tell me what the latest model yr 5.0 is a simple swap-out. The goal with a swap out is to be in the 350-400hp range. This will Bronco will never leave the pavement, so just looking for a strong reliable runner for my wife.
