I've been a lurker here and finally I now have a RBV to build....

My 84 BII...


Gonna do a V8 conversion cause I got a good donor vehicle for most parts and I am gonna try to recycle alot of the stuff from it for this...
heres the donor..'86 bronco...



This one was just taken off the road cause we kept hearing noise like a cracked flywheel from it....When i got it on the lift I found this....


Only two bolts were holding the transmission in...I think it happened wheen I uprooted a stump with the truck...

At any rate I'm stealing the engine,frt.springs,knuckles,tires and rear carrier out of it...

Looks like a wicked project man, have fun!!
Is that a ruined AOD? that sucks, cause the bellhouseing and trans body are one piece. If you run another AOD in besure to keep that ruined one for parts!
