    Re: engine swap!

    Me and my dad did that many years ago. We had an 89 bronco II that we stuck a 302 into and put 7in of lift onto it. That thing was awesome but defiently top heavy. Looks great. Keep the pics comming.

    Remember you can always use fullsize axles and make your track width wider, then design your suspension so that you have wide, yet low center of gravity.

    Thats gonna be awesome. Straight axle? A bronco II with full size axles is gonna look sick man. Cant wait to see it.
