 Engine Swap Hey guys I just recently moved to Denver. Im in the Air Force and stationed out here for the next few years. I have a 1972 that is in need of a new engine. It leaks like a pig has bad blow-by and I can't seem to get it to idle right.
I unfortunately live in an apartment complex and cannot do the replacement at my house so I'm looking for a good shop that can supply the engine and do the install in the Denver area. I know its going to be a lot more expensive than me doing it myself but i don't have the space to be able to do it.
Does any one here know of a good engine shop that can do the install?
Below is a pic of the Bronco for your viewing pleasure.

Re: Engine Swap Welcome aboard. There are quite a few folks around that may be able to assist with an engine swap without the need for a shop. My advice is to go to the breakfasts and get to know some of the people firsthand. Be leary of that one guy that uses pink zip ties to hold his spare tire on.

Re: Engine Swap Im looking for a 302 would like a roller and eventually go to EFI. A Explorer motor would be ideal.
I was out in Hawaii before moving here...
