Engine and Tranny Install Question

[O_FORD_O]

Is it possible to drop in the engine with the tranny attached? Just wondering if someone has done that before. I have a stock 302 and C4 transmission that I need to install. The body is bolted to the frame at this point. I would rather mate the engine and transmission outside the vehicle. Planning on installing the transfer case after the transmission is in the Bronco.

I removed the engine and tranny with the body off, but a couple of cross-country moves forced me to put the body on the frame before having the engine and tranny ready for install.

Thanks in advance for input.

Yes. and with the transfer case attached too.
You need a really high hoist and the bronco up high too. I used a back hoe.

I’ve done a couple with a c4 or 4R attached with that had to lower the front tire pressure pretty low. With the t case makes it very long and heavy but can be done

My preferred way of doing it, with transfer case installed as well.
