the "best" engine is kind of an opinion thing but I think it realy matters what you plan to do with the truck. if you plan to do a 302/5.0L swap I would go with a 84-85 for the reason of you could retain the stock automatic and the duraspark ingnition would be an easy swap.

Bronco II's were made from 84-90. 84-85 had carbuerated 2.8L V6's.86-90 came with fuel injected 2.9L V6's. 89-90 had different fenders, grill and dash.

The later 1990 models stand out from the rest because some of them came with a Dana 35 up front and a little better transfercase.

I'd recommend finding a 1990 with a dana 35 front. Otherwise any of the fuel injected years would be a good start.

The stock engines don't have a lot of power, but they work. Most Bronco II owners wheel with the stock engines. I prefer a V8! ;)
