Big Bronco 2 Conversion

You're saying to keep the center-lines parallel but offset slightly? So no twisting the engine slightly out of parallel? As viewed from above.

Exactly.

Yea, I'm not really interested in twisting things up. The only thing I Was planning on doing was to notch a hole in the upright portion of the c-chanel frame where the transfer case would hit and weld a box to the outside of the frame rail to reinforce the notch. Not sure how things are going to go yet, just looking to get opinions and options. I'm going to look into finding another transfer case.
By the way, someone suggested the internal fuel pump should do just fine... The research that I have done suggests that the internal pump should give me between 4 to 6psi, and I'm being told that a Holly 600cfm requires 5 to 7psi. I think I'm going to go that route and see where it takes me. They did away with mechanical pumps for a reason. I'll see how the electric one does for now.

There are a few pics of a 13-56 sitting nicely between the Ranger frame rails in this thread:

The intank pump can put out 7psi. If it does seem to be to much then a return fuel regulator could help you out too.

My Holley 600cfm likes it 4.5 psi that Im feeding it. Anymore and it doesnt want to run right and wants to flood (fought it for hours trying to tune it for more psi but nothing worked) so I left it at what it is now and got the foats to where they should be. TBH, I hate my Holley and Im getting an Edelbrock for simplicity and doesnt mind the change in weather as much either.

Got little bit of work done today, but still not even close to driving her out of the garage.
I got the wet clutch mounted and run.(going from automatic to standard isn't all that easy)
So I used the stock clutch/brake setup out of the F150, That made it easy to set the clutch placement. I'm going to have to make some revisions when I go to mount the steering column though.
I think I'm happy with the placement of the engine. Still haven't got it mounted to the frame, I wanted to see if anyone else has done it this way before. I got the engine out of a 84 E150, and the motor mounts were still on it, I'm contemplating using the mounts that are there and either welding them to the cross member or drilling new holes for these mounts. these mounts are making it nice locating the engine nice and level. The only problem I have right now is the water pump pulley is off to the passenger side of the vertical grill mount bar, (I'm assuming this bar is center and the pulley is center)
I would put some pics up here, but every time I try it tells me that they are too big and I'm not exactly sure as to how to condense them.
Let me know what you think.
PS... Still not positive as to what I'm doing on the tcase
Thanks guys

Thanks for the link, I'm thinking I can make it work...
Will let you know.

Just use the stock in-tank pump. By-pass the frame rail pump and install a holley fuel pressure regulator. Ran my 86 Ranger that way for ten years. It had a Holley 650 DP. A 4777 iirc.

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get any thing done on the Bronco. The wife has been down sick for the past week and started getting worse and I had to stay in. Got an interview in the morning and and some legal work in the afternoon so we'll see when I get out to the garage next. Will let you guys know.
