i completed the 4.0L swap in my 89 bronco II
was my daily driver and a blast to drive untill i was hit in the passenger side rear and rolled onto my roof at 55 mph.
one hell pf a ride but my b2 kept me safe, but there wasnt much left of the truck..
so now i am haveing seperation anxiety from my B2
and ive been hunting and looking non stop for a decent body, all of them here in MI are pretty rusty.
But i allready have a 97 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0l EFI V8 AWD
and im looking for my 89 B2 atm..
so the plans are to swap the 8.8 Ls rear, with disc brakes into the b2.
now here are my questions..
/
what would be my best bet as far as transfercases and transmissions go?
i would like a manual trans
ive heard the Musta ng t5 is the way to go, but what should i get as far as transfer cases? can i convert my bronco 2 to AWD with the mountaineer transf case
are the t5 and my 4 speed auto trans the same length or will i have to move crossmembers and lengthen/shorten drive shafts if i dont put the t5 in right away.
currently the b2 im looking at is auto trans.. over drive is slipping in it...
and has a jasper rebuilt 2.9l motor with 12,000 miles on it, which is getting pulled so if you need a great runnimg motor pm me.
so yeah any tips comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated also if you could point me to some reading material or other forums/threads with info that would be great.
