Rebuild or replace for a 1979 ford bronco?

i have a 1979 Ford Bronco, im a big chevy man, but i love all classic cars and trucks, i would like to rebuild the original block but there is alot i would have to do to get the horse power i want out of it, so first question what would yall recommend on rebuild parts/performance parts, then if i was to replace what is a good website or company to go to thats not to expensive to get a engine and transmission from, mind you this truck will be a off road truck and i have a lift and tires on it as is so please help me out the best yall can.

1. Find another similar engine that has already been built up or kept up in good working order, within a similar vehicle. This way, you have the parts ready to swap. This is easier and less expensive. Good Luck
2. Hi Chris, i have a 79 bronco to. I'm a chef of a Catering Co. in Co., i just built a new motor for mine. I know nothing about motors or engines. I do have a couple of good friend that r mechanics, which came in real handy. LOL if u want to check it out, email me a rclited79 @ yahoo.com n i'll tell u everything we did to mine. God does it have some balls to it now! It cost me $1965.50 for start to finish. So hit me up if ur interested. Rick Coffman.
