from wanderer:
ok..from front to back..top to bottom...
2in body lift is a MUST!!
rad needs moved to middle of core support (4in forward..otherwise WAY too tight..about 1in of clearance with 4.0 extra cooling rad and stock location..no fan..stock single.double core rad would fit in stock location with the fan off and about 1 3/4in clearance)
stock 2.9 or 2.8 mounts with the alignment pin cround off..fit perfect..
stock smog and ac bracket on motor removed to clear frame rails and steering box.
hood needs latch assembly cut from underside to make room for hood..about 2in deep from flat cection of the hood to stock retainer hole..
exaust..can re-use stock manifolds and exaust..exaust needs cut and rewelded to fit..(till I can get it to a shop and get it made custom)
oil pan n
firewall takes a MAJOR HIT...heater box removed for EFI..cut along indent of firewall and remove..make "doghouse": style cover that gives you 2in more of inward clearance.
oil pan driverside front of the sump needs a little dent for clearing the TTB35 pass arm end bracket.
M5od tranny fits..shifter needs adjusment..custom tranny crossmember..used F150 master for clutch..cut hole next to brake booster at firewall seam..perfect fit..reused stock ranger clutchpedal.
BW13254 t-case..cannot use with stock saddle tank..front of tank skidplate needs removed..notch lower frame rail 1/2in deep 3in long for front output case..driveshafts lengthened..front Radius arm brackte in the way..cut section where front shaft will pass through..weld in a driveshaft loop for support of bracket crossmember and for retaining of driveshaft during a failure..
more updated as I run into it..
