I bought a "vintage" 1983 3.8 V6 with auto and driveshaft, and am looking to put it into my bronco 2. Wiring should be a cinch, as I have a low pressure pump in the tank and am converting to GM HEI (missing module and wiring, cheaper this way.) All I want to know (at this time) are what motor mounts bolt up to the motor and are roughly the right height to give a proper angle to the driveshaft.
There IS a thread of a guy using 3.8 convertible mounts from an 85 but I feel that wouldn't work, as I am temporarily 4wd, with plans to convert to 2wd later. I know DuffTuff sells 5.0 swap mounts, but since I am short on cash, I can't exactly buy a set and try them out.
I do ALSO plan to use a '00 4.2 stick out of a f150 but am wary on flywheel choices. Thanks for any information!
