Default 5.8 (351W) in Bronco ii
I have a 1986 Bronco ii with a 3" body life. I have been reading that a 302 will fit right in with a 2" body lift and since the 5.8 is 1" wider and 1" taller. Wouldn't a 351 fit with a 3" body lift without a lot of mods? A 302 would be much better than my 2.9 but a 351? WOW!
