Sounds like a major pain to do the swap. The BCM runs everything inside

Completely not worth it IMO to do this to a perfect Bronco. The best way would be to find a not so damaged salvage donor Bronco and not care about the creature comforts of the technology that you would have to sacrifice.

Lol
No
And there’s a guy on Facebook saying he’s going to do it and has it all figured out

of course you do

v8

I like to look at the people who want this swap, social media profile and rarely do they seem to have the understanding of how much time, energy or effort or would take much less financially afford it

and you better hope it never gets wrecked!

Honestly not sure if I see the benefits of trying to get a V8 in a Bronco. I mean it would be fun for sure, also we do have a Raptor V8, but that's a different type of architecture.

It would be worth it for the sound alone. A PD supercharger on top of the 5.0 would be perfect.
Crap now I regret not getting a 392 Jeep.

I remember seeing a guy on the YTubes that was in Denver trying a coyote swap with a 2 door. He stopped posting videos and haven't heard anything about it in the last year.

Probably totaled the truck.

Last I knew the Coyote simply won't fit because it is too long.

His completed video will be out just as soon as his AR Classic Emblem and ADV Hardtop arrives, should be any day now.
