FE install?
Yo. Yeah, I'm new, but I got a good challenge for ya.
I've just picked up a 64~65 (est) 390 4bbl engine and an FMX out of a Tbird. I'm going to put them in my 1980 FS Bronco. What am I going to need to attach the FMX to a transfer case, and what would be the best way to mount the 390 in the bay.
My previous plan of a 400M went out the window when the old Elite dissapeared out of my friend's yard. So I have perches for a 351M/400 for my 80. Will they work, or need modded?
I've got a lot of questions, so I'd appreciate any help y'all can give.
Happy to be a Newbie.

alright i got some info he put a 360 FE in an 80 bronco, he used FE motor mounts out of a 76 f250 that had an FE in it, he used the same C6 tranny out of the 76, he re-drilled the tranny mount bolts farther back to accept the C6 tranny in the bronco and had a custom shorter driveshaft made, i didnt have a chance to ask him about the transfer case, etcc for the 4 wheel drive. but that should give you an idea. good luck :-)
