That thing is sweet. Find an old flareside to put on it and paint it black and you have one hell of a truck.

It comes with the original bed too.

I got a quote of $900 to ship.
Running, Driving, supposed new trans and posi rear. Supercab 4x4s are getting rare and expensive.
I've also found a few how-To's on swapping 4.6/5.4s into older broncos etc while deleting a lot of the vac system and PCM controls

I've got half an engine sitting in Pieces to go in after the swap. I'll have my complete, stock 5.4 sitting with nothing to do

I have one on the line for the cost of a stock replacement. I've seen them used on the 4.6 which didn't impress me but it's here and I'm thinking about it.

I'm not worried about boosting, it's not what I want to do ATM.

Would be a cool project. 900 to ship is super cheap. Most companies won't touch it for less than 1.50 per mile. But if it runs, why put a high mileage 5.4 in it?

With a set of cams I'd be doubling the power vs a 400m. They were junk

Not gonna make much of a difference in that truck as heavy as it is. Besides, you'd be dumping alot of dough in that instead of your main rig. Why not sell the engine and get gears or something?
