So i have been toying with the idea of swapping in an LS1 longblock i have laying around into a 89 Full size bronco i have..... has anyone out there done this sort of swap before?

 

I know this is an OLD thread but I'm looking for info on doing this swap in my 79 bronco.

 

An LS bronco swap would be awesome! I loved my Bronco, but the engine (351W) had no power!

 

Mine is a 79 and it has the 400 that puts out all of 96 rwhp an gets 8mpg! I got a new LY6 off of craigslist with all acc, ecm, an harness for a great deal. I'll be starting on the swap hopefully pretty soon.

 

That is going to be sweeeet! Start up a build thread in the projects section with pics!

 

I will, I'm still decideing on a trans. Probly go with a built 700 cuz it'll mate to my 205 xfer case easier, but would really like to use a 6spd auto. I still gotta buy alot of stuff and have the suspension an paint/body finished. But hopefully it won't take to long to gather the rest of the parts.

 

Got any pics of it? Love the 79's, first generation of the big broncos!

 

Here is my '95... sold, sadly

 

Sweet! I had a 96 for awhile and have had 2 79s an a 78 with a 12V cummins swap. My brother has the 78 now, I should've never sold it! I'll get some pics of mine when I figure out my computer!! Damn thing erased a bunch of stuff when the wife did an upgrade on it!
