The 2.9 in my 87 cracked the old style heads
Found another 2.9 from a 86 bronco II. Inspecting the motor it has the newer heads.
It also looks like a rebuilt / crate engine because it is fairly clean, the freeze plugs look new..etc..
I bought the engine to swap with my old one. It was bolted to a auto transmission.
Removed my old engine. And noticed a few differences.
New engine has no knock senson in side of block. It dont have the egr valve and pipe
From exhaust manifold. Factory block off on intake.
My main issue.......
The crankshaft on the new engine sticks out the back of the block about a inch or more
Compared to my old engine. That measurement it from bell housing surface.
So if i bolt my flywheel and clutch to it..it will be a inch or more closer to my throwout bearing.
The engines look identical ... but the one i got is different for some reason.
Need guidance....
