A 90/91 Ranger is the easiest donor. When my 88 got a 4.0 last year the guy doing the wiring had it wired and running in under 3 hours, and that included a long lunch break.

28 and 35 will use the same lift brackets on the Bronco. The lifts are specific to the vehicle

Yes, thanks for the updates, so many times a problem is resolved and no one ever says what it was. This time it appears it was self inflicted wound, but the problem is resolved and that is what matters.

Please, please tell us that Sears paid that over priced engine bill!!!

Pull the hot wire from the alt and put a test light in series with the alt.

With a 4.0 you can flash the converter to about 3200 rpms. Not good for a dd. The V8 unit will only flash to about 1900. I have noticed that as I turns about 2900 rpms at 65 and with the cruse contol on if it approaches a small hill the RPMS will jump to 3200. Anyway to fix this? V8 converter is yo...

I would hook the battery back up and pull the hot wire to the alternater and look at a small draw from there. Using a small test light between the wire and its corresponding terminal should yield no light. Any dim flicker at all and the rectifier pack is going or gone.

Best bang for the buck is a 4.0 swap. You'll need to get a complete wiring harness for this since your truck does not have a 'puter. It still would be the best swap. Second best would be a carbureted v8, if you have really deep pockets for fuel.

As said, a C5 is first best option. Only other option is walking. Contrary to popular belief the c5 is actually a stronger tranny than the c4 IF you put the V8 high clutch pack in. Also the very high stall 2.8 converter can be replaced with a converter from a 75-78 v8 MustangII. The snout needs to b...

You need to pull the dash panel out and disable the switch that turns compressoer on when using defrost. It could cause an excessive unneeded run.

A friend bought my sons 90 Bronco, drove it home and had his wife help him install a 3" bl, drove it back to my shop in under 4 hours, complete.

Even if the 2.9 starter won't work,, I used it any way, with an automatic tranny.

looking at the length they are for a solid axle, not a TTB

OK, more info and closer pics required on those axles. First glance I thought they were birfields, now I have no idea what they are, but I know I want to know more!

Shim plate must be there or starter will wobble around and continuously loosen up.
