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.

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.

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.
