Rebuilding a motor

[AdamDude04]

So I got a 5.0 motor from a donor Bronco two years ago. I want to say it came out of a 85 Bronco or that era.. it was the body style prior to my 87-91.

All I have is the block and pistons. The lower/upper manifolds aer gone (no idea where they ran off to) and I tossed the wire harness.

So my primary question is about the sensors. I don't want to rebuild this and there be a misssing port for some weird sensor. That would be a waste of money because odds are if there is a missing sensor, it'll toy with my ECU. So are there any in the block I should worry about?

I think the route I'm going to go is just use the block I have in the garage, and buy everything else new for it, or pull from a junk yard and have a machine shop clean up. This way I can go at my pace, and still drive the Bronco (camping season is upon us!)

oil pressure sending unit drivers side of block just above the mechanical fuel pump.

that's it

If you are going to rebuild it, have a shop at least balance the crank shaft. You might be better off buying a short block that is already re-manufactured. A re-manufactured engine has it's components brought back to factory tolerances or better.

Good luck,
