I am thinking about swapping a 5.0 FI into an 88 Bronco II or my 88 Ranger. I read the thread by rwenzing, Explorer 5.0 swap, but that seems to refer to the later model RBVs. Anyone know a good thread about swapping in an older vehicel? Just need to know how much trouble I would have, or even if it would be worth it. I am on a very low budget, but have access to a lot of parts.
 
If yscrap up the parts needed to do it then the cost isnt to bad. If you buy all the parts new it will cost you a good chunk of change. As for tyhe wiring I suggest gettting a Helm manual for both vehicles and comp[are wiring. On my 88 302 FI to an 88 Ranger it was a matter of changing 12 to 15 wires to get the V-8 to run in the Ranger.
