250 in 66 bronco

[Anonymous]

I have a 66 bronco with a 170 that does seem to run ok but the exhaust manifold gaskit is about gone and the bolts are breaking before i can get them out. Im going to install a good running 200 for now but i was thinking about building a strong 250 to install later on. Any ideas on how hard this would be?

Thanks
Mike

Not hard. You'll get to change the transmission to a ZF 5 speed at the same time since the bell housing pattern will change. I am about to mock up my turbocharged 250 in my '66 Bronco. You can always check back with me later and I'll let you know if the motor frame mounts will need to be changed much. I am hoping to just oval out the holes a little.
