Can't wait to see this over there. The term "LEAD BALLOON" comes to mind. Good luck with dat chit.
i have owned my bronco since 1981 if i was going to sell it i would have already done so.
i just ask for some help from people that my have knowlage about the swap,i know there are people on this site that have chevy powered broncos or know somebody that does,so i thought there might be intelligent input.
I came to this topic late but it is a fascinating one, at first I understand the shock of the subject, I think it would be the same thing if someone on a old K5 forum said hey I want to drop a 5.0 into a K5. But the thing I wonder is why is the subject so much more taboo then say a diesel swap. Neither GM or Ford build the diesels that we swap into our rigs. I mean Ford and Chevy both built diesels but no one is really choosing those diesels to do their swap. Most people are grabbing either Cummins or Isuzu engines and putting them in. I understand the rivalry issue but is it really so different from the diesel swaps. I know I have swapped diesels into my Scout and my K5 and have always got the "wow man what did you put in there" question. No one has ever said, dude you ruined that truck. I personally like the 350 out of all the gas engines. I really don't see the issue, if it's not stock it's not stock. I could understand the outrage at hacking up a concourse ride but lets face it at least 80% of our rides are resto-mods. I say have at it, it's what makes working on trucks so much fun. Every one of them is the owners creation. As for your question, I would swap drive trains as well, like someone else said, for the dime you will spend on adapters you could take the GM engine and tranny and just bolt it to an Atlas, it will save a lot of time over mating engine to a tranny it was never designed to bolt up to. The other thing is, by swapping engine and tranny together you can (if you want to) go to newer computer controlled equipment if you choose to, no need to get stand alone modules for the engine or the tranny.
you can do whatever you want but you cant make other people like it.
