Hey all, quick question on an idea i've had rattling in my head.. want to purchase another b2 do the v8 swap and such ... here's the question, have an old ratted out full size bronc, (twas rolled) an 86 to be exact, running the efi 5.0, now i know the full size frame compared is roughly 10 inches longer and wider than the stock b2, but this swap just seems to make sense to me due to the factors, of what i have on hand, project budget, and having a more sturdy running gear and frame under the b2. Have any of you or know of someone that might have done this swap?? Btw i want to keep the 4 speed from the full size bronco so pls factor that into answers, ideas, ect. Thanx again

thanx for your time, patience and hopefully answers

Wow nice find Lou, was there any info on that build by chance, looks like they added 10 inches to the back of the BII
