I'm new here and I will introduce myself in a thread tomorrow. I have a 84 bronco 4wd automatic with a 2.8(dead due to your typical cracked head). Well my grandfather's neighbor said he could get it running, so he took out the 2.8 block and put in the 2.9 block. Then preceded to put the carb back on and not use the FI, after that didn't work it they gave up. Now a few months later I decided to ask him why he didn't just leave the 2.9 motor together, and he has no idea why they didn't. My question is we are pulling the carb back off and putting the FI back on. I have been reading around for a 2.8/2.9 swap and haven't found to much. My question is what needs to be done for the electrical other than using the 2.9 disturbutor. Please be as harsh as need be, I have gone and searched, went through the specific motor sections and swap section. I must be missing something.
Inb4: Just do a 4.0 swap (used to have a 4.0 explorer fun as hell, would just want to try the 2.9 swap first)
As much info would help. I will try to answers all the questions you guys have about the swap.
