Bought me a 78 bronco

Bought a 78 bronco with a 400 and c6. Gonna do some upgrades and am wondering how hard it is to do a transgo shift kit

Not sure on the difficulty of the trans kit but I second the request for pics. I love the 78-79's!!!!

You have 1400+ posts, you know you can't just drop "Bought me a 78 Bronco" without photographic evidence...

I can't say one way or the other about installing a shift kit. I'm lucky I can install my fat *** onto the drivers seat

How do I post pics all I got is a phone

The bronco is lifted 6" the body is rhino lined and black it has zero rust. It's got a newly rebuild 400 and c6. Interior is new.

It got some loving over the week. It's getting electric fan just so I can stick my hands down in it while it's running. It's getting electric fuel pump and regulator. Putting a shift kit in the trans

When you reply there is a landscape icon(two mountain peaks and a sun) that you click on and it is on both the app and the desktop version for your phone. Just follow the steps for uploading pics from there.

Here are the steps from the app. Click icon, then plus sign then select where to upload pics from. It uploaded mine in the wrong order, but you get the idea.

Transgo kits are easy to install. I've done one on a Mopar 727, and can't imagine that the C6 would be much different. Drop the pan, pull the valve body, and go to work. My 8 year old daughter did the re-assembly.

I was trying to turn the driveshaft with just one arm so I decided to use both arms instead and could move it. It seems to shift fine now just not as hard as I was looking for but it is harder and more crisp
