Hi,

First off, thanks for reading!

I purchased an 85' Ford Bronco II from a neighbor and everything seemed fine. A week later the new starter went out. So I tow started it to get it home.

I then checked the coolant and there was oil in it but it wasn't foamy and looked like it happened right very recent.

I think it's a cracked block as the person who sold it to me is a decent mechanic and checked it out.

****I don't have a lot of money but would like to get this running again****

Should I try and find another 2.8L? I had a 3.0L in it....or would a 91-94 Explorer 4.0L work?

Thanks for the help.

I would certainly check the heads/head gaskets, before I chunked down some bucks on a new motor.
