79 200 into a 69 bronco

[broncobob]

I have a 69 bronco that has a 68 mustang 200 in it. I would like to know what I would have to do to drop a 79 into the bronco. I have had clearance problems with the mustang engine, the 79 looks like it will provide the proper oil pan clearance. Will the 68 carb distributer manifold all transfer or do I need to use the parts off the 79? Also the 68 engine runs strong but leaks oil like a sive out the rear main and has a noisey valve train. I have run that engine about 10,000 miles but am tired with the messy oil problem. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.`

Except for the manifold. Part of the head. The 79 will have its own, if it does not then it is not a SBF 6 170, 200, 250. Could be a BBF 6 a 240 or 300.

I have a 79 200cid in my bronco. Its a 74. Even with a 2v and adapter everything fits. The breather rubs on the hood but no dents or anything.
