Subject: 302/C-6

Having spent 12+ hours under a bronco this weekend trying to install a
C-6 by myself.. I finely get it kind of on the mounting studs..
HOWEVER...
1. I have not even tried to get the transfer case on yet..
and
2. Need some advise..

There appears that once i but the transmission onto the mounting studs
and get it within 1/2 inch of installed.. ( if you are over 40 with a
past broken neck i do NOT recommend doing this by yourself...) I find a
REALLY nice steel guide pin in the block near the starter.. that aligns
really nice with another steel guide pin on the C-6.. my options
1. remove transmission again and remove the steel pin from the
transmission.. ( not a really favorite one here...)
2. sawzall with a long blade and cut the suckers off... ( it would have
to be in a BAD spot to reach right between two nice steel mounting
studs...)
3. It appears that the steel pin in the 302 block is in a hole in the
casting of the block that "may" go all the way threw.. can i possibly..
tighten down my mounting studs and push the steel guide pin forward back
threw the block or will the stress crack the bell housing in the
process..

I now see why one does NOT put a C-6 in a eb without a body lift....
(VERY close....)
what's really fun about this.. is after spending 3-4 weeks rebuilding
the C-6 and transfer case I have no clue if it will even run.....

Good luck Phil!

Good to know I'm not alone in all I do (putting this together and not
sure it it works!)

Phil,

I know what you have been through. I have recently and almost complete to
drive, put a 302/C4 in my Brocno II. It was not a fun project but
definitely one for someone who wants to make it look completely factory and
loves a good challenge. I, working with an aluminum bellhousing, would be
scared to press the steel out through the back side. Although it would be
much easier done properly. You would be much safer cutting the two off if
you can get to them. I have waited three years because of heavy work load
and such to get mine running. But the couple weeks i have left to finish it
is getting LONG. If you break the bellhousing you will be pulling it out
again anyway and cast does not hold up to much force at all.

Hope this helps you out.
