hobbyhorse - it was recently rebuilt professionally. That's why I was surprised when I took it wheelin' the first time. I figured it was something a little bit out of adjustment. It works great the rest of the time.

That's what I thought... I will lower the float and see what happens! thanks!

I have a 77 with a rebuilt stock carb. I assume that it is a 2100?? The thing sucks off road. It's only a touch better than a worthless 2-barrel holley. I can barely even think about going up a decent grade, much less a real hillclimb. It just starts choking and sputtering and blowing...

ummm...no go on that email address. anybody have the correct email or a phone number to get ahold of him? thanks Keith

thanks!

this is too funny reading this uproar;D I have no intentions whatsoever of putting a Chevy motor in my Bronco...I'd go windsor long before the PITA process of putting different brand motor in my ride. This whole thing centers around a 'wheeling article I found (4-wheel & Off-Road, I think)...

There's a guy (in Oregon, I believe) that is rumured to have the best prices on np435 to dana 20 adapters. Anyone know his phone number? Thanks! Keith

LOL...nope. I just thought it a little strange to put a GM product in one of fords better rigs. Seems like swapping a 351w would be much easier...maybe a chev in a jeep/toyota, but not a bronc. BTW, the Northstar is a dandy motor for power to weight ratio... lots of wires and crap, though.

LOL...I've already braced myself;D

This subject should get people riled up;D I was looking for an old article in one of my 4wd mags, and found a different one that gave the finer details of an EB on 38" SXs with all the goodies. The part that I found a bit interesting was the nicely built Chev 350/700r4 combo. I know from...

That is good to hear! Save me some bucks and looking around! I love the NP435...just as long as I don't have to drive in downtown Seattle with it:-) Thanks for the info, guys! kam

any probs with it off-road? How does the pedal and everything feel with the new tranny? LOL...this thread has only been here for about half an hour, and I already have 2 replies! This site is great!! ttyl Keith

After doing the actual tranny install, what are people doing for the clutch linkage? Using the stock linkage (modified?), or installing a hydraulic clutch setup? Does anyone have a hydraulic clutch setup link besides the one on this board?? Thanks! Keith

those pics cleared it right up. I was just getting an idea how much work it is to set up a Bronco with a 205. I'm just doing my homework and checking all my options before I swap out the 3-speed before too long. Thanks for the info!

I'm just curious...I know many NP435s came mated to np205 t-cases. How difficult is it to fab up a custom crossmember and do the extra work for that particular 'case? Body lifts aren't an issue. Keith

'ppreciate the info! lars and blackjack, check your inbox, there's a pm waiting for both of you.

I'm sure this has been hashed many times;D I'm going to be doing an NP435 swap here before too long...and probably going to keep the d20. Does anybody's adapter kit stand out above the rest in quality and ease of installation?? Thanks for any input!

ARB Air Locker. Wide open when it's off, and totally locked up when it's on. Only downsides are the slightly more complicated install and the cost:( Full/lunchbox lockers (detroit, lockright, powertrax, etc.) will promptly put you in the nearest ditch/guardrail/vehicle when it gets good and...

9 pints :o That's over a gallon of gear oil for one axle!! That'll keep me or somebody else busy for a while:-) Thanks again for the info!

Doesn't sound too tough...a now 82 year old man owned this one since it was 3 years old, so I tend to have my doubts that any of the gear oil was changed. What is the oil capacity for the rear? How 'bout the front? Thanks for the info! This site is great!
