89 Bronco 460/ZF swap

Thought I would post up what I have been up to.

This is the "Street Truck", it is my '89 XLT, It started life as a 5.0/aod



I did a 6" superlift TTB lift



Did a 351 swap, mass air



D44 SAS



9" rear




I have never been happy with the 351/aod, I get crap mileage, and It was just time for a change for me.


I picked up this truck



It has a 460 EFI and a ZF 5 speed.




I will post lots of pics as I go along.

Last shots before the bronco comes apart





Started pulling stuff off,






And some more






Almost ready to pull the motor and tranny

More teardown,

got the radiator out with the fan,



Pulled the 3G alternator and the hoses



Then, of course cause its Oregon, It started raining



I crawled under and pulled the drivelines and the t-case




Done for the day

Motor came out today






On the floor



Now to deal with this mess




Engine compartment harness came out because it is modified for mass air and I figure it should be easier to just use the F250 harness

Cleaning up





Removed all the red looms off what is left




Ready to start on the F250



Looks a little high in front

I found a nest in the air intake of the F250





Then I proceeded to pull the engine compartment wiring harness

What is this? it is up by the horns..



More pics

Cleaned up the fender mounted TFI and put it in, (fender had holes for it already)



Swapped computers





Installed the f250 harness






Only one plug didn't match. I'll chase it down when I get underneath

More teardown of the '91 F250

Ghetto stuff I found





Shut down for that night

I will be using the f250 frame standoffs, and factory F250 mounts.

I was pulling the upper intake off, and bumped the broom handle i was using to prop up the hood. Of course then the 75 pound hood crashes into the back of my head full force and shoves my forehead into the very exposed and very metal water pump. 3 nice dents in my head, and one of them was bleeding pretty good.

This is after some cleanup from my girlfriend.




Hurt a bit, but back at it.

Hood off.



Clean in the valley, no sludge at all



coming out



Did some firewall damage, but I didnt care at this point. Motor did not come out easy with the zf5 attached. I am pretty sure I will install them seperately in the bronco.



Its on the floor with the 351. If you look closely there are 7 engines total in that area. :doh0715:

Got the motor mount standoffs off of the f250

Couple more teardown pics

Got the ZF5 off, and got the 460 up on a stand so I can get it freshened up







:p

Pulled the exhaust manifolds off, One bolt was broken, I broke 3 more.



Took the oil cooler off




Got the ZF5 up on another engine stand
