Hey all,
I am installing a NP205 out of a 78 Bronco behind a 5.0/4R70W from a 2001 Mountaineer. The problem is this: I can't mate the 205 to the tranny because it will hit the frame rail on the drivers side. I know people have already done this, so what's the problem?
I am want to clock it in the "lowest" position. It looks as though I would have to push the back of the tranny over about 1.5-2 inches to the passenger side for it to fit between the drive side frame rail, but it seems like I can only move it ~1/2 inch, probably limited by the engine mounts (NEW from JBG).
On a related note, is the engine/tranny supposed to be more toward the passenger side? Because the smaller engine tower on the passenger side seems to indicate this.
