67 into 81

[mudmode]

Just bought my First Bronco an hour ago!!! I needed a fun home for my hot rod 300-6 that is preently in my 67 F100, which is 2 wheel drive and to rusty to bother. So I bought an 81 bronco today and have great vision for the future. I would like to use the header if I can get it to fit. Any tips or hints would be appreciated on ANYTHING

i doubt if the i6 header will work from the 2wd truck due to steering box issues? crossmember etc. only real way to find out is drop the motor in and see if the header will fit

Pretty sure the header would be on the opposite side of the Steering box, but i'm having trouble picturing it at the moment

no sir, the header will work with no issues. Intake and exh. are on the passenger side.

Will the C6 bolt up to my 300? Do I need any goodies to make it work? Also, is the existing Rad set up going to work with the "longer" engine? Do I need to use the rad out of my 67? It is a v8 rad because the i6 rad was no longer available.

if the old motor was a 302 youe i6 should bolt right up , as for the rad it as well should be the same. 302's and 300's used all the same stuff

Make sure you use the flywheel from the 300 6 or it will vibrate . I do believe I have all the frame mounts for an I6 in a 1980 to 1996 chassis . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i havent messed with an i6 in a while thanks for that info though

The engine was a 351m, will the six bolt up? Which mounts shoult I use, will the 67 ones fit?

 

[Yardape]

The 351m uses the same bell housing pattern as a 460. So no it will not fit your I6. The motor mounts are also different on the 67.

A 460 will drop into place, haha
