Brad, I'm not familiar with Isuzu oil pan, but on the Cummins 4BT, folks have flipped the pan front to back and then notched it to provide further front diff. clearance. I'n sure you have been there multiple times already but check out 4BTswaps.com for some ideas?

Brad, If you pull this resto off (and you have demonstrated that you definitely have the skills) you have earned the admiration of Bronco owners everywhere! Man, I feel your pain, every component you have removed has revealed a new adventure in fabrication and reconstruction. Keep up the good...

KyleQ...thought about that in post #12. Makes sense. I think the axle cut will wait until I fine tune my direction (align front and rear diff's for more favorable obstacle clearance or off set rear the amount required so both F&R D/S's will be equal length?) More research required.

gddyap...it's thinking like that that helps guy's like me. For my project (cummins 4BTA swap), I'm juggling all kinds of systems at the same time i.e. transmission/ Overdrive/transfer case adaption, engine mounts, intercooler/radiator configuration, VAC to Hydro boost, Hyd. clutch (internal...

Steve83...U da man! Thanks for the diagrams. That made things much clearer. I also liked the recommended balancing speed of 3000rpm vs. 500rpm and how the factory marks the high & low balance points of a given shaft to retain proper balance and orientation during assembly. Good questions to ask...

Roger that on pinion angle...but is there a plus or minus to moving the rear diff. to one side or the other... (Light goes off)...unless I built it to match the FRONT offset...think about clearing a rock or obstacle...both diff's would be aligned and you choose a line that wouldn't smash...

Broncobowsher...That's what I've seen (jeeps), some D/S's not only slope down (as all D/S's do) but also angle side to side. I agree that it shouldn't be an issue (+- an inch or so), but I'm no Driveshaft guru and was curious about compound angles. I still need a left to right measurement so I...

Explorer, thanks...I did see the XFER case is offset, but couldn't get a accurate reference for measurement. I tried to get a straight edge between/ across the frame rails but with the dual exhaust and plumbing, no luck...keep me in mind when you get your diff. back and installed.

Explorer...thanks man! I'm not in a rush (weeks not days). If you don't mind following up with this That would help me a bunch. P.S. did I make my request clear? Sometimes I type in what I think is great detail, but it doesn't make sense to anyone but me! :o

stock rear axle dimensions All right guys...this has been posed for 8 days and no bites. Let me pose this another way. To make my donor REAR Dana 60 axle, B.O.M 606522-3, fit my69 EB (58"WMS-WMS), I'll have to cut both sides down. If I just cut down the long side, the differential will not be...

Hey guys, looking at cutting down a Dana 60 out of a E350 van. My question is "what is the rear pinion off-set"?, i.e. is the pinion directly behind the Dana 20 rear output or off to the right or left...NOTE: don't let the differential housing fool you...the pinion itself is not in the center of...

Save our heritage! Snake...thanks for the links...sometimes I just get used to going to what I'm familiar with. Doug

Thanks 99, It may be the protection settings with my work computer and what "cookies" it will and will not accept...we all know that bronco web sites are subversive because they promote Rugged individualism, ingenuity, self-reliance and freedom of thought... LOL I found it by going to the WSU...

Hey guys, I was trying to get to N8's page, http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~i6735189/. Well it seems that WSU purged his page becuase the link appears dead. I've noticed that lots of information and especially photos linked to various off forum servers have died. It's a shame that a wealth of info is...

trailer lighting provisions? Hey Eric, I read this entire thread and didn't see anything about incorporating a quick connect for trailer lighting, did I miss it? In '91 I bought a Explorer, it came with a factory provided "T" that plugged into the harness for simple, water tight, NO-splice...

Put me on the list Glad you lost the glass side windows. Detracted from look and breakage would have been an issue. Ditto on less snap. Boat guys ought to have lots of insight on how to maintain the aesthetic while providing water and wind tight connections/ attachments? If I uncover any ideas...

Be leary of excessive oil pressure. I rebuilt a 289 with mild mods, rv cam, alum. intake vs, iron and a "high volume" oil pump. I ensured that the cam and the distributor gear were of compatible metals. Ended up with 90 psi at start-up (100 psi mech. Autometer gage) and dropped to 70 psi when...

Chuck, I've been following the development and when you refer to "side windows" are you refering to the glass quarter windows or the vinyl ones? Intrested in grey or tan and won't have to wait until spring! Thanks, Doug

I had a 289ci in my 64 fairlane rebuilt to "mean" blue print spec's went with 262 grind Comp cam and Accel breakerless distributor, & high vol. oil pump. I ensured I had correct dist. gear with both Comp cam & Accel. Oil press cold-95+, warm-80. Drove the car less than 700mi and car died...
