a 4bt is already enought to the bronco... it's somehow hard to dictate how long would the swap take, but if you don't have to do too much custom fabrication you can do it in less than a week... using the suspension and driveline from an f350 can help you, and also getting the acessory mounting brackets for a/c compressor and power steering pump would lead to a cleaner-looking setup...

 

is the 4bt going to pull as much as a f350 can,,, i had my hands on a c350 7.3 turbo diesel but i was too late to buy it, and this is only nice one ive found so far

pulling as much as a 7.3 is matter of tuning, but a stock 4bt won't be bad comparing to the output of a 302 or a 351w...

 

alright would i be able to use the ford tranny for the 4bt or would i have to use a dodge tranny

 

it's possible to retain the ford tranny... btw which one are you using?

 

Ride looks good is it yours yet?

 

I would like to keep the auto e4od i believe it is (dont know for sure) good tranny i had a 96 f150 4x4 that never had problems with it

 

You ask a loaded question. Is it two wheel drive or four? The frames from a half ton and the 3/4 and 1 ton are different. I have a 94 Centurion C350 7.3IDI turbo and also an 87 Bronco. I often dream about a 4BT in the Bronco. I have not built in in my head enough to actually start the swap process, but someday. My C350 is clean and I think a six would be the way to go in it. It is just a larger truck that I demand more out of. You could get the 350 suspension to fit, but it is not a bolt in process. Also there is more to towing capacity than just engine and suspension.

I hope this goes through as I would really like to see details on the engine frame mounts. It seemes every 4BT/F150-Bronco build here did it differently.
