Yes it was in Stilly last year, and also the year before. I remember being at a gas station about two years go in the winter and a guy was askin me about it, and said he was about to do a 4.0 swap in his.... may have been you?

I drove it all through the blizzard last year, and around town on occasion. Only got stuck once in a 5ft snow drift in a parking lot.

That was me. Got my swap done on one of mine along with M5OD. Gotta swap in a D35 and it'll be done( kinda).

Starting my 2nd one. Got the motor tranny and t case. Just picked up a D30 to do my sas.

We need to do a stilly get together.

looks sweet. good work. what did you do for your trans crossmemeber? RA mount?

 

[BroncoIIer]

Yeah back when you talked to me at that gas station I had no plans of doing a SAS or motor swap to my B2.

I trimmed my tranny cross-member and bolted it directly to the frame so when my RA's moved they wouldn't hit it. The radius arm mounts are about 5 inches behind the trans crossmember on the frame.

Thank you! Still waiting on my DOM tube to come in so I can build the steering and get her on the road again!

Tomorrow morning I'm ordering upper shock towers off an F250. Ford part # E5TZ 18183A. And also James duff 35.5" shocks.
Getting closer day by day!

Thanks! It was a dream that turned to reality! Biggest feat to overcome of the whole project is the cost of everything.

Just won this on an ebay auction for $100. Re-manufactured, with all hardware included.
Flex a lite 40. Reg. price is $217 at Jegs and Summit

Ready to see how it works!

 

[mattc113]

this has motivated me to get back to work on my b2.

 

[BroncoIIer]

That makes me proud that my work inspires someone else. That's a big part of what got me started on my B2. Forums like these always inspire new ideas for my rig.
