302 Block outta mid to late 70`s Bronco 2. Its still the ford blue so we hoping it hasn`t already been bored or anything. Anyone know if I`ll be able to use the pulley system and the brackets off this thing?

Motor is complete, everything on it, heading to machine shop with it.

Ain't looked at a Bronco 302 in a coons age, but the front dress is probably the same stuff came on the cars. Is the oilpan there? That's worth something to the Ranger swap guys if it's the rear sump pan with the dipstick in it.

Pans on it

But the engine builder said I needed a front sump for my 65, so I ordered one. If anybody needs this pan let me know, I`m gonna trash it, you can have it for shipping costs.

I hope this one works out, been thru 2 other blocks so far, both had been bored.
