Ok, so I started out on this forum the wrong way I think...
Anyways, I am doing a v8 conversion on my 87 Bronco ll. I have the engine and tranny in the truck right now but have not got the motor mounts or tranny cross member mounted yet. Looking at it, I'm thinking that I'm going to have some issues when I go to mount the transfer case. I dont think I have enough room. I rebuilt a 302 from an 84 E150 and pulled the tranny out of a 91 F150 4x4. The tranny is the M50D R2, and the transfer case is is the Borg Warner 13-56. I've been told that they are both strong units, but it looks to me that there is only going to be like 14" from the tail shaft on the tranny to the left frame rail, and the transfer case is like 18" from the input shaft to the outside of the case. Anybody got any ideas? I may end getting some c-chanel and making a small reinforced dogleg in the frame if I dont come up with anything else. This conversion is kind of on a small budget, and being done when I have the extra cash to do what I need to do.
Thanks in advance for the help.
