2.9 vs 4.0

[94xlt4.0]

If i were to do a swap with money not being as big of an obstacle i would go 3.5 ecoboost in a heartbeat. But the cost of the motor/trans and cost of a harness and ecu from a donor is 5 times what even a pristine bronco 2 is worth. Ebay has the motor and engine harness right now for around $3000 and up from there. Then trans and ecu with tuning and your at $5000 without blinking.

IF money was not the main obstacle...

I am big into sand sports besides the Bronco. What works really well out there in stock form or heavily modified are Chevy LS engines or Subaru engines. The Suby might be hard to squeeze between the frame rails though!
