Wow... Thanks for the quick response. Great advice! Thanks
Here are a few other questions... Please excuse my ignorance!
As we've all experienced many times... a guy was waiting at my bronco the other day when I came back out from paying at a gas station. He told me hes owned several EB's and hes always wanted a bronco with the 170 engine like mine has and told me that if I ever changed the engine out to a v8 that he would buy the engine. My question to you all is... Is a bronco with the 302 more desirable than the 170? Eventually I'd like to take my EB offroad... Nothing crazy but I'd enjoy it. Rather than put $$$ into the 170 that has some obvious compression issues should I just get a new engine or repair the 170?
I know there are tons of factors to consider but what should I price range should expect to pay for the following including parts:
-Change drums to disk brakes
-Upgrade to power steering
-Move Shifter to floor
-Replace 170 with 302
