so why is the current auto failing so much? who is doing the rebuild on the tranny? what size tires are you running?

what did the 302/tranny come out of? stock AOD's are ok in very mild applications. also the AOD got a bunch of internal upgrades in 87 so anything older is going to suck. a C4 or C6 might be the better way to go.

looken great. i so badly want to get a B2 and build like this. keep up the good work

why not just trim the fenders, youll end up doing that anyway arnt ya? also why not go full width? looking great

think about it like this. a normal engine replacement at a shop will range anywhere from $1500-3500 and thats for pulling and replacing with same engine type. you know what all is involved when doing a 5.0 swap i would assume. the 4.6 is a totally different beast, much wider then a 302 motor...

looks like the rear pinnion angle needs some work, neat build though for sure. that rear wishbone setup is different, not your typical 4link type setup. how can it flex being setup that way?? be curious to see this on a ramp. looks tough on those boggers also.

checking out a local BII for sale. has 2.8 which needs carb rebuilt and auto tranny. anyone know much about this perticular model BII. has 150K miles on it, second owner. interior is red and in good condition. askin $600 for it but i would pay more then 400 due to age and such. eventual plans...

was the bronco running when you checked the fluid? i would service the tranny if it hasnt been done in awhile. you might also pull codes, do a tune up etc.. just curious does it sound like an air plan under your hood when the vehicle is running. a bad fan clutch can rob power from that little...

have you checked your timeing? does that motor efi setup us an o2 sensor?

what motor does the 85 have? i believe the 2.8, 2.9 and 4.0 share the same bellhousing bolt pattern

was that a dry comp test or wet comp test.

if that front diff is toast why not drop a D44 under there.

yea what oil weight are you running and what brand oil filter?

if you run the colder tstat on an efi motor it will run rich all the time. the computer needs the motor to hit those temps for a reason. if your running to hot i suggest getting a better fan setup or a larger radiator

i think coils up front would give you the better flex offroad and better ride on road. i know how those roads get there in SJ, was a part time resident back on 2000.
