Add this to the list of crap you find when taking apart someone's bronco.

The guy cut into the frame to add a bigger radiator. Transmission lines run under and over the headers.

yep its blue and full of surprises. I drained 2 1/2 gallons of oil out of the engine. Wrong pan, wrong dipstick for the pan / block. The guy said the motor is 10 years old. no wonder it leaked oil everywhere.

Man you try notching that frame like that with all the crap in the engine compartment. Today with a plasma its easy but with a sawzall in the old days its gotta be tough.
