2.8 engine photo

[jonnygorman]

guys, i am looking for a picture of a 2.8 l engine. I am assembling mine after along time apart and can't seem to figure out where the bolt goes to fasten the the dipstick tube to the engine. It has to either be a bolt that goes into the block or that holds some smog tube deal into the rear of the exhaust manifold. Anything that can give me an idea would be great. I think this bronco has finally driven me crazy.

Thanks
Jon

No picture, but I'm pretty sure it goes on an exhaust manifold bolt that also holds the heat riser. It will be a bolt with a threaded section above the head.

It bolts to the side of the block by the bellhousing.

Hmmm.. Shoot, I thought you were talking about the tranny dipstick, so I got a great pic.... Just not what you wanted and it looks like you got it covered anyway.

If its anything like the 2.9, I believe it mounts on the exhaust manifold.
