Default got a bronco today!

Yup got a 87 bronco, $1800, 5.8 with a carb, minor rust, pretty good deal I think, obviously needs a bit of work like the back window won't work, one fender is kinda rough, exhaust needs work, also I don't think the transmission shifts into overdrive because it runs at around 3000 rpm on the highway. I think I could be the computer mabey, but that's really it

Thanks guys! My neighbor says nice buy too lol and I'm proabably gonna swap the broncos 351 carb with the 302 efi from the 89 truck, but I don't know the advantages or disadvantages of this, besides the better economy and obviously the 5.8 power vs the 5.0. I also knoticed the truck seems faster than the bronco, why is this? For sure- bigger tires, mabey 4" lift, little brush guard and fog lights.
