Hubs, transfer case with 302 conv.

[nonstuck]

Hi all,

Did a search, but perhaps didn't word it correctly. I need
to know if the stock '85 transfer case and hubs will hold up
with a 302. Certainly don't want to grenade it !!!

Thanks in advance

I've got an 87 Ranger that I'm using the stock transfer case & hubs and so far no problems. But...I do not use it for heavy off road use. I guess the big question is what are you going to do with your Bronco? Off road (trail driving) machine every weekend or is the 4 wheel only going to be used when needed during reqular driving, camping, muddy roads, etc.?

Thanks Joey, good point. I won't be doing any serious off roading, just
when needed, ( i.e., it's Iowa = snow!!!).
Was just a little leary until I heard from someone.
I appreciate your reply. The V-8 is a real kick !!!

Being from Nebraska I total understand the snow thing. You should be fine with your application, but remember you do have V8 when you put your foot into it Things can break Enjoy your project.
