Eddie Bauer Bronco II 5.0 swap build thread

[surratt]

Well Ive had an old 88 bronco 2 that is rusted ad hell and literally falling apart. Been sitting around for years and had the thing since I was 16. Has some decent parts in it but I did the v8 swap 10 years ago when i didnt know shit so it wasnt the most quality work...Im much more experienced now so this should be a cleaner swap....but im keeping the budget as low as possible

You have to post them using some kind of uploading website like photo bucket.

Interested in your build though!

scored an intake from a 97 explorer...thanks to Ranger SVT for helping me out with some info. My 89 5.0 setup has a seperate IAT sensor and the MAF for this vehicle is a 6 wire that includes the IAT in the sensor....much cleaner setup and no drilling into the intake or anything for the sensor...just spliced the 2 iat wires to the MAF
