Hey, everybody. Back in December, I bought a 88' Bronco II. I realized I also bought a giant headache in the process AFTER replacing the clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder, etc. As soon as I got it moving again, the oil pressure drops and it never comes back up. All the bearings are bad. long story short, the 2.9L V6 needs to be replaced. Any idea where I can find one. I'm hoping someone swaped one out for a bigger motor and has one sitting in the garage somewhere. PM or add to the thread. Thanks in advance for any help or comments.

shoulda bought a chevy

 

Tell me abouit it, big mistake

 

Where are you at? Pick-n-Pull in VB always has more Rangers and BII's than you could shake a stick at.

 

I'm in lynchburg now. I used to live in VA beach up to about six months ago. I havent been there in a while, i'll check when Im home again.

 

screw that v6, its nothing but a trouble some motor anyhow. swap in a 302, try out jamesduff.com they got everything for those bronco 2's. trust me im a ford guy myself, those v6's arent worth the damn.

 

if your interested in doin that, i got a buddy with a complete 302, tranny, and transfer case out of a fullsive bronco that he wants to get rid of. let me know if your interested.

 

buy a jeep and sell the ford.

best thing i can tell you

 

with gas as it is id stay with the 2.9 i have a ranger with the 2.9 that i use as a beater truck, ive tried to blow it up but it still keeps runnin. i guess ford made a mistake and made something worth spending money on. as far as a 302 swap why replace a bad motor with another put a 350 in it cheeper and more reliable.
