Having done the swap from a 302 to a 4.9L, I know it’s doable and the weight difference wasn’t enough to notice in the springs. However if I could go back and do it again I would have upgraded my 302 to EFI and called it good. Fitting the 4.9 was the most difficult part, custom motor mounts...

Radiator Is the radiator still avaliable? PM sent

I don't know if you had original flares on your bronco before you stretched but how I did it was to use the old fiberglass flare as my guide to make my cuts. Here are a few pics of mine be before and after, I only moved the rear back about 6" and with 37" tires I'm pretty sure I'll have to cut...

Alright got my contributor status back so here are some pics The first is the hole I had to cut into the firewall, you can see the engine sticking through. The second pic is the extention in place and test fitting the heater. The last pic is the finished product I came up with. The extension to...

Ahhh crap, I guess my contributor status expired and I can't post pics. I'll re-new my subscriptionand post the pics ASAP

I am actually in the final assembly stage of completing this swap, I used a '90 300 with EFI. The biggest issue I ran into was the length of the engine, keep in mind I did a lot of other modifications at the same time (front axle 5" forward, doubler, etc). To get the 300 to fit I built new motor...

Got an ignition switch? How much shipped to 80459 (Colorado)?

You probably all ready have a idea/design in mind for your motor towers when you move the forward and down but I thought I would share what I did and what I would change. I moved the frame stands forward about 3" and down some (can't remember exactly how much). I cut the stock front cross member...

I put a '90 efi 300 into my bronco and as mentioned before there is a lot of fab work involed with getting a 300 to fit. I moved the frame engine mounts forward 4 inches and still had to cut the firewall to fit. I did this swap because I already had the complete 300 sitting there, if I would not...

Front hanger I was in the same dilemma sliding my front hanger backwards. The frame has a slight upward bend to it so the bottom plate of the front hanger didn't sit against the frame. What I did was to keep the bolt hole the same distance from the ground and tack it in place. Heres a pic of...

Another vote for warns and longfield joints, I have a friend that has put his warns through so serious abuse and they have held up well

I don't know exactly how much longer it is than stock because I never had a stock trans/t-case. But I my guess is that crawln68 is right, about 2 inches longer.

435-203-205 I did this same swap not to long ago. Wanting to stay with all ford parts (its just the way I am) I was able to use the following: 4wd NP435 out of 78 150 NP205 out of 78 F-150 NP203 out of 70's truck (can remember exact) Dodge 435 main shaft cut and reslined by Jeds Machine shop...

Looks great! Wish I could make this kind of progress, if only there were more hours in a day. Did you make the bends in the exhaust pipe or buy a bend assortment(from where)?

I should double check or someone correct me if I'm wrong, but AN numbers are the number of 16's. So 6 AN is 6/16"(3/8) and so on. I can double check my fittings tomarrow to confirm this.

I just made new lines myself, I used 5/16" hard line from summit. I used rubber fuel hose and clamps at the connections (tank,fuel pumps,filters...). It went togther real well. Some us 3/8" line, but its over kill unless your running an engine that needs a lot of fuel. I also used Aeroquip...

Gas Tank I just finished building one, I used 14ga steel bulkhead AN fittings for fuel hookups Sunpro universial sending unit -summit part #SUN-CP7583, its a 240-33 ohm so I also bought an AutoMeter gauge to match Kreem tank liner to stop any rust and fill very small pin holes I the second...

Where?? Ya where are those trails at? I go elk hunting in Gunnison and I'm always looking for a reason to leave a few days earlier. psbronco

I just made a rear shock mount last weekend and my inside to inside of frame measurement was 23 5/8 and 29 1/2 outside to outside of frame. psbronco

Sunpro Unit I just bought a Sunpro universial sending unit from Summit Racing for about $15 for my custom tank. The part number is SUN-CP7583 from their website, it is fully adjustable for the depth of your tank. It seems to be a pretty good unit, comes with a cork gasket and 5 mounting screws...
