When I put a new engine in mine, I left the motor mounts in place on the frame and then lowered the engine onto them.....no issues doing it that way. So, I guess you can do it either way!

You should consider the Chevy conversion. I did that on my D-30 Bronco a few years back and it was pretty easy. And not too expensive if you can find used parts.

One other thought: if you do end up lowering the windshield, be very careful to not crack the glass. If the windshield is binding at all that can result----don't ask how I know!

While I had the pan off, I cleaned everything up then JB welded it,both inside and outside. Seems to have solved the leaking problem.

I think a well-stocked hardware store will have them----I've bought them years ago.

I would, and have, replaced the resistor in my 70 without going to all the work of taking the old (bad one) off. I just mounted the new one in a place that was accessible and pulled the old wires off and hooked them to the new resistor. Works fine.

Hopefully it won't come to this, but when I pulled the stock 302 out of my 70 Bronco, it wouldn't quite clear the grill-----I ended up taking off the oil pan while the engine was hanging over the engine bay and was able to get it out with some careful maneuvering of the engine. I had also let...

OK, finally got it done. I had to do the "jack it up and use jack stands under the frame, and also unbolt and lower the high end of the track bar. Again, I thank all of you who offered advice.

I have a 70 Bronco, original 302 and 3 speed manual trans. I finally got the oil pan off, but only by lowering it as far as possible then reaching in and unbolting the oil pump and pick up tube and dropping it into the pan. I'm ready to re-install but hate to try to do it in reverse of what...
