hi all, i am about to buy an old f-350 with a fresh 460. it's sitting on an ambulance chasis. is this the same or similar enough to the 78'79' bronco frame to just outright swap it into the bronco? i have never considered an ambulance frame before? the donor is a 75, 76? ford. i have heard that the biggest thing to worry about is the exhaust manifold clearance and the radiator hoses. i am going to assume thati'll be using the 460 mounts. i think i have a 3'' or a 6'' suspension lift going under it as well. i might do 3'' body and 3'' susp.any tips, tricks or hints will be greatly appreciated.
F.Y.I. i'll be starting on the re-construction of the beast soon and will show pics on the way as well as any tricks or hints i can come up with on the way.
