Hello there,
I have two bronco 2s, one is an 88, with a working engine, the other is an 84 with a blown engine. THe 88 droped its drive shaft. THe 84 threw a rod. THe 84 is an automatic, the 88 is a 5speed overdrive manual. I was wondering if I can swap out the driveshaft from the 84 to the 88. Or if it would be usable to snag one at a boneyard. Or if I would find it nessicery to get a new one.
Please note, the engine leaks oil, had some one who really had little idea what thay where doing working on it. For starters, you start it by touching two wires togeather. I was going to take the steering wheel assimbly off the 84 and transfur that over, and a few other things, and probably in the spring yang the engine out and give it a good going over. BUt, I need the thing road worthy asap cause I gotta run a few k miles with it before I can stop and pull the engine. THe oil leaks look to mostly be from the valve covers, easy enough to deal with, and I might just live with it tell I get a chance to rebuild. Important thing is, how much stuff from the 84 can I use in the 88?
Thanks in advance,
