Have a 90 b2 want to use as tow vehicle. Have rusty 88 b2 started to turn in to crawler with a 351w and c6 np205. Still up on air on that one. It has a 2 barrel carb. Need to do edition swap. Or use that for tow b2 and use 4.0 for crawler... any onions?

what do you plan to tow?

I'd build one b2 with the 351 and make it unstoppable.

personally i think a b2 is not big enough to make a tow vehicle... even w/ a v8 and stuff, there's not enough weight there to tow. make a nice crawler b2... 4.0, v8 whatever...

find a diesel for a tow rig.

The wheel base on the bronco II is too short to tow, it would be really squirly. Plus everything in it is too light duty in general for towing
