As per this thread https://www.fullsizebronco.com/threads/bronco-dead-in-mud-hole.509430/page-2#post-7259252 , I am going to be swapping my 5.0 for a 5.8. Motor was found to be dead on Sunday with a hole in the block. I sourced a complete 5.8 out of a wrecked 1995 F150 this morning which should be a roller motor or roller ready. Don't have pics of anything yet but this engine will be going in the truck this weekend assuming it has compression. The engine is complete from Y pipe to the intake. My truck is a MAF truck and this one is Speed Density. If I can't get the MAF to work then the truck will get converted to speed density. The new engine appears to have been on propane it's whole life and is very clean. For 500$ a complete engine with all the accessories, brackets, exhaust pipe and other bits seems like a good deal to me. I'm going to put new gaskets, my accessories on it, and a paint job before installing it.
I know I need a new flywheel but can't think of anything else I might need. It would be nice to have a 5.8 MAF computer but I'm not going to worry about that right now.
Anything anyone can think of that might hold me up would be appreciated. Pictures to come.
Thanks.
