Hey guys,
I am planning to convert my 89 ford van to 4x4. Looked at a number of options, but one fell in my lap and am needing some questions answered if anyone has the time. A buddy gave me a 84' Ford Bronco ( full size ). It ran and drove great before engine took a dump. I know this is a coil over front suspension, so off road will be limited, but that is fine. I basically just want a van for snow, ice and basic travel to ski mountain, etc... Will not be doing any major wheeling.... Anyone done such a conversion??? Pro's/cons?? Obstacles??? Is frame width/ size the same?? I will be using the trans (aod), transfer case and front end of Bronco... My motor is a 330hp 302. Gutted of all emissions crap and carb'd w/ headers, etc....
Thanks for any advise/help!!
