4.0 Bronco II Swap
#1
Right, well I've found a fella local to me who has a 1992 Explorer Sport, with a 5 speed. The top end on the motor was rebuilt last year, and the guy was having trouble paying off the repairs. Well the clutch just went on it, and he couldnt afford to make the repair, so now its sittin, and he's just looking enough money to pay off what he owes for the previous repairs! ($500)

So waddya think, should I spring for it? It sounds like it'd be a pretty good candidate for a swap, but is there anything I'm overlooking? It is a 4x4, so I shouldn't need anymore parts to keep my 4x4 correct? Is the Explorer dana 35 any wider than my BII dana 35? (basically is there any reason that an Explorer dana 35 would be better than the one i've already got?) Would the driveshafts be the same length as those on my BII, since the Sport has a shorter wheelbase than the normal 4dr Exploder?

I've had someone offer me $500 for my spare BII, so I could sell it and go buy this. I'd just give the guy his 500 bucks since he's short on cash, don't wanna haggle with someone who needs the $$ more than me. Still seems like a reasonable price for my swap if its got everything I need!?

Any of those questions you could answer would be appreciated, as would any input towards the swap! I'm not askin for help with wiring or any of that nonsense, as I know I've got to figure that out for myself lol!

Thanks!
