Alright thanks. I'll put on the other intake Friday and I should be ready to drop it in then. I just hope this motor runs!

[Ranger Dave]

i could be wrong but those headers look to wide. hope they fit

[onewontwo]

I'll have to measure them. I hope not, they were made for a swap. If I get a low pressure pump do I still need a fuel regulator?

Hi, I'm new here but thought I'd chime in. I'm running a stock in-tank fuel pump on my carb'd 302 w/ Edelbrock 1405 in an 88 2WD Bronco II. I STILL have to run a regulator to knock down the pressure. Not sure what carb you'll use but the Edelbrock 1405 does NOT like the 10+ lbs put out by my stock Autozone in-tank pump.

Do you have a part number? Is it the same as the sending unit that is in there now? I have a new gas tank waiting to be put on so I have to take the guts out anyway. I want the easiest, cheapest solution.

what are you using for motor mounts??

[onewontwo]

They are from L&L. Could there be a problem?

[clem]

What is L&L? is this an American store? I heard 5.0l convertible mounts work, out of a '89 I think. I Need to know as I haven't got my engine in yet either.

[Ranger Dave]

i used the V6 mount with adapters

[onewontwo]

Looks like your mounts turned out good. I purchased mine from bronco graveyard. This Friday is some little things then next Friday I'll be dropping it in. Won't be running until a trip to the junkyard though. Anyone have any extra parts?

[Ranger Dave]

you got the double sump oil pan

[onewontwo]

you got the double sump oil pan

Yes, I do.

[onewontwo]

I picked up a 2 wire univerisal fuel pump. It flows 4-7 psi so I shouldn't need a regulator. Can I tie this into the existing wiring and be down with it or do I need to do more?

[onewontwo]

I'd also like to keep my stock power steering, alternator, and a/c. What vehicle should I look to take the brackets from? Does anyone know if I can switch the v-belt pulleys for serpintine ones? If not I'll have to get a system from the yard and wire it in unless there is a vehicle that would be plug and play. Hopefully I can get some help.
