[userxo1]

ARE YOU SURE ITS RUNNING . i cant tell .. lol seriously i know they loud .. did you advance the timing yet to quiet it down and push a little NOx out the pipe

[4x4jumper]

do you have a build page?

[vreference]

Does the transmission have to be moved to go into the EB?

[jghflys]

I used the Ford Chassis version of the 4BT and the drive train from the bellhousing back is in the original position.

[broncovine]

Did you cut and weld a f-250 chassis to the bronco chassis, is that what you mean, or how did you do the engine mounts, and what trans are you useing? I'm currently in the process of converting mine to a 4bt, and the zf 5 speed trans.

[jghflys]

No I just used the 4BT from a step van that had a Ford Drive train so the Ford bell housing would work. I'm using a NP435 transmission. I moved the engine mounts on the Bronco frame forward to keep the drive train in it's original location.
