The 351 is a pretty simple swap, with the other two, you will have to modify your frame to allow for the starter, and will probably have to beat the crap out of your firewall to just fit it in. I'm not sure if your radiator will have the cooling capacity for any of them, will probably have to upgrade to a 4 core.

Use the 351 Windsor, historically the 351 Cleveland motors are more high RPM high HP motors (they are more popular with the race crowd) so they are not as useful for offroad, and parts for the Clevelands are higher $$$ and harder to find. But if you got the cash, then check this out!

Well I know alot of people hate this motor but its easy to find and a torque monster (about 425ftlb) its the ford 400...but you have to build it abit. I the great thing about it is that the 1981 F-250 400 motor mounts fit right in a the bronco frame, plus then you get a big block C-6 and a NP 205. Just an idea...works for me anyway. the only issue is headers fitting....but a welder and a torch adn its all better.
