Message: [QUOTE="MINK, post: 176773, member: 101"] So I just picked up a 88 Fullsize Bronco with the 5.0/auto - Plans are to completely restore the body/frame over winter but then I will need to get the power in order. Instead of building the 5.0 i'd really like to go ahead and swap in a 7.3. So I just have acouple questions while I'm kicking the idea around. Can the original auto trans behind the 5.0 be built and matted to the 7.3? The auto is a e40d correct? Custom motor mounts need to be made? Maybe grab some out of a original obs powerstroke? Front suspension will need to be upgraded - I have no questions there. Anything special need to be done to the driveline besides larger axles? transfer case live? Other than that I should be good with swapping in the engine with electronics - should be somewhat straight forward as far as that goes. Maybe gauge cluster out of a obs diesel? Any insight from those who have done like swaps would be great. Here are some pics of my last 88 Bronc - it was my first truck that I had also built with my father but ended up turning into a bad night... This project will eventualy be Black aswell but lets hope I can keep it without wrecking:) [/QUOTE]
