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..... phil ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 11:51:12 -0500 From: Bob Weaver Subject: Re: 302/C-6 Good luck Phil!

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. > >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.

A couple of questions,- 1. I have lots of experience with problems with Cleveland blocks punching through the cylinder wall when trying to bore .020 over standard. Also have had a couple crack between head bolt holes and water jackets. I've put this down to the age (last offered in Australia in 1980) with up to 30 years of rusty crud floating around originally thin cast cylinder walls. The 400 being a different casting (Tall Block) is it any better?. 2. 400's a rare here in Australia, How do I identify the age - year of manufacture. 3. Are the cylinder heads the same in combustion chamber and port designs as 351c 2v. If the chamber is the same what size would they be 72cc?? Any reliable help would be appreciated regards from Down Under Tony Travers ------------------------------ End of perf-list Digest V2000 #25 ********************************* ----------------------------------------------------------....
