170 to 250 in EB

[Anonymous]

I was hoping to find someone out there that has heard of swapping a 170 to a 250 in a 67 bronco and if it,s possable because of the front axel
or any other advise someone may have.
To me it sounds like a great swap thkz for any input

Hi 67bronco

67 BRONCO, I have a 66 bronco and I put a 250 in it and have been running it for about 10 years now its great. Anyway I heard that there might be an econoline van that had a 250 rear sump pan that would clear the front axle--- maybe but I never found one. the 250 pan is much wider at the top than a rear sump 170 or 200 pan found on the EB or on some later mustangs. I cut the bottom of the 250 pan out with a cutting torch, cut the top of the rear sump pan off a 200 and welded the bottom of the 200 pan to the top of the 250 pan. It is a very easy job for a good welder and solves all axle clearance problems. ......Larry
