460 Bronco Swap
I’m new to the Forum but not new to 4 wheeling. I have a question for those who have done this swap. I’m swapping a 460 into a 1993-1996 Bronco and was wondering is there any year that is preferable to others with regard to the 460 and strength? I know they all are about the same but are the police specials different. Should i look for a 429 instead because of the torque range? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, i plan to keep the C-6 tranny with a rebuild for the truck. Any thoughts? Don’t really want to go with a manual because i think the auto pulls better in the mud. Finally, is it worth swapping out the front and rear with Dana 60s out of an f250 late model with discs?? Thanks!

Radiator Fan While under the hood spraying water repellent, check to see what type of radiator fan is fitted. Most 4x4's these days have the viscous coupling type, which means that when the engine is cool enough the fan doesn't spin at full speed. With the engine off, try and turn the fan. If it turns easily, you will probably get away without having to take off the fan belt. If it doesn't turn easily or yours is the fixed type, then you should remove the fan belt, If you don't and water enters the engine bay, the fan may act as a propeller, bend forward and cut a nice round hole through your radiator. It's certainly one problem you don't want to discover once you have completed the crossing. Even if it doesn't affect your radiator, you still do not want water being sprayed around, especially in a petrol 4x4.
