There ya go! Looks Great!

You are gonna need to take off the factory Oil filter Adaptor. The BC angled adaptor or an Oil Filter relocation kit will work.

I have been waiting almost a month for the bc angled oil relocation to ship. It’s the last part I need to test fit the engine

BC is not the only one's who make them. I think Ford Racing does as well. Moroso? others? Check Summit Racing.

I like the angled one. Do other companies make the angled one ?

Looks good! When you drop it in, pay close attention to the AC compressor. It only sits above the frame gusset about half an inch when the motor is fully installed.

Did a test fit the back of engine touches the firewall. If you move it forward the ac compressor from bc bronco serpentine hits the frame. Any suggestions ?

You may have to shim the transmission crossmember. Mine was slightly on the firewall as well, and the shim fixed it (Jason sent me that as well). I would mount the engine and tranny and keep the body mounts loose. You should have almost 3/4" of play to slide the tub back or forward. The clearance on the compressor is like half an inch when everything is installed.

Ok it looks like I need to shim the passenger side engine mount to bring the compressor up off the frame.

Got the engine and trans in. Just for fit Also the the swap manifolds from ford seem to fit just fine. Idk why everyone said they wouldn’t. Once I fit more stuff maybe I’ll find some problems. Will post pics once my tap talk works again.

Hmm thats interesting. I dont know the exact reason everyone says they wont, I just didnt question it and bought the headers. Is the starter in too?

I thought the problem wasn't because they didn't fit, it was because of where they exited. Supposedly, It made it hard to run the exhaust. Do you think you'll have any trouble with the exhaust? I can't tell by the pictures.

Yea it looks like that kick might be a little too sharp of an angle. But could be doable. I'll be interested in how it plays out.

Can you get a picture from under the bronco looking up at the collector. This looks similiar to to running the stock mustang headers on a 89 5.0.

Yes I will try to get that pic. I am having a hard time getting the engine and trans and t case to fit. I have to put the trans way up and doesn’t leave room for the t case I had to turn the engine mounts around. That raised the engine an inch then I had to shim it up 1/4 inch just so it wouldn’t hit the fire wall and the ac compressor.

Sounds about right. Welcome to where it gets REAL.
