89' Bronco Project
EFI and AOD all failed to feel it happened all at once. So got a few questions. Still have the 5.0L 302 but I am Carburating it. I went with the C6 Auto Transmission with the NP-205 Transfer Case.. All out of a 78-79 Ford truck.. now I quickly realized that the 80-87 bronco never came with the NP-205 transfer case. It was the NP-208... oops... so here are the questions... about getting the NP-205 shift lever out of the original 78-79 shift lever for the four wheel drive. Basically trying to find out what other people have done.
- Drive shaft lenghs Front and Rear (Where to find them (hoping not for NEW))
- How to cut up the Floor Board for the 4wd lever

78-79 4x4 trucks never came with a 302/351. They did come with a 351m/400 but this c-6 tranny wont bolt up to a 302. I dont think the 300 6 was offered in a 78-79 4x4 either but I dont remember. If it is a 2 wd c-6 that was behind a 302 it will have to be torn down and the correct output shaft and tailhousing for a transfer case adapter installed to work. So the shift lever, cutting holes in the floor, and driveshaft lengths are probably the least of your worries.

I know a c-6 does bolt up to a 302. I also know that a 302 was never offered in a 4x4 in 78-79. 2wd yes. 4x4 ,emphatically, no. And a 2 wd c-6 will not allow you to bolt up a transfer case with out tearing it down and modifying it. And I do know everything I stated to be factual and I am not going to argue with you about it. Good luck on your project.
