ok how did you set this bag setup up? i can kinda see how you set up the top but what about the bottom?

 

I have a 2007 front under mine and I was ordering some 16 inch smoothies from summit and the guy told me only a 17's will fit. Anybody know this for a fact?

 

It all depends on the wheel itself. Some 16" wheels will not clear the calipers of the CV IFS. Here are a couple links to custom wheel makers. I will be using 1 of them when I get rich & famous enough to buy my wheels.

You can send Wheelsmith all your specs & they build the wheel you want as I understand it. They have a page on their site showing what specs they need.

 

i have a CV front under mine i was wondering about the bracketsfor the air bag

 

Brackets and front cups came from ThorBros and I got the gussets for the four link from AVS. The front bags with the cup is located right where the spring should sit.

 

how much lift do you get

 

All the way up it gets 15 up front and about 24 in the rear

 

Quick question for y'all. Replacing the 240ci for a 302 w/c4 auto tranny. Anyone what length driveshaft it'll take? Can I just locate one from vehicle or have this one cut and balanced?

 

i was lucky with my last engine swap. i was able to find a driveline at the local recycle yard. it came off a 70's 3/4 ton 4x4 long bed..
get your measurements, at the center point of the u-joints. take that and a measuring stick or tape. i like the folding measuring stick, as i can use it without the hassle of the tape flipping over and falling or breaking just as i have it in position...

 

Cool Build... Watching

 

When using the 302 for this ifs swap, do you have to use a rear sump oil pan?

 

This is off the subject but did you have to modify the cab at all when you used the front end of the crown vic? I mean in regards to the engine/trans you used. I am planning on using the front end, engine and trans out of a 04ish crown vic. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

 

Me personally am at a stand still, I purchased engine and tranny as pair. Come to find the tranny has a bolted on yoke. I've located another c-4 know I'm just waiting on the time to go pick it up. Plus I've pulled steering column to shorten it on the inside by 3 inches. A few other changes like removing the clutch pedal, mounting power brake booster. Should be getting back to work on it in a couple of weeks. My number is 502-939-2277 if you wanna text me I believe I've got pics of other engine perches that people have made.

 

Other than the yoke being a problem, is there enough clearance without modifying the cab? I got your info, I sure appreciate the willingness to help!

 

I have just done most of this swap. I have a link to videos and everything showing how much room you have. It is in my own thread.

To make the CV crossmember work is mostly just cutting the front crossmember out, and working it all in. I took about 100 photos of the swap thus far. Some with numbers to make it easy for the next person. I swapped in the 4.6 and trans, but those require cutting out the next crossmember too. Once that is out, I used the CV trans crossmember cut down to fit the truck. You need to do nothing to the cab though. Other than cut a hole in your firewall if you want the computer inside. I did.
