FFG Coyote Swap Motor Mount Kit | 1978-79 Bronco 4WD

Factory location. Factory steering box. Modern power. A 1978-79 Bronco was never short on presence; it was short on horsepower and honest about it. The temptation is to cut the frame and start over. You do not have to. This kit sets a Ford Coyote from a Mustang GT or an F150 into your stock half ton Bronco 4X4 using the suspension and the power steering box that are already under it. The engine lands in a factory location with room left for the steering box. The transfer case crossmember comes with it; so does every fastener for the mounts and the crossmember. Some drilling into the original frame rails is required and most builders are done inside a few hours. It ships in raw steel so you can coat it to match your chassis. Photos show a powder coated example; that is not what arrives.

  • Keeps your steering box - the engine sits in a factory location with clearance left for the stock power steering box.
  • Crossmember included - the transfer case support comes in the same box instead of becoming a second project.
  • Every fastener supplied - all the hardware for the mounts and the crossmember ships with the kit.
  • A few hours; not a weekend - some drilling into the original frame rails and most builders are through it inside an afternoon.
  • Raw steel on purpose - coat it to match your chassis rather than living with someone else color choice.
  • Two transfer case paths - modern F150 OEM case or an AAM Advanced Adapters Dana or Atlas setup.
