79 Bronco 400 to 460 swap ALMOST done,,Need a lil info!
Got the motor set in WITH car manifolds. I just twisted the down pipe a little to clear the frame. That should tie into the existing for now till I getthe headers for it. bought the perches, they fit great, needed to persuade the pass. side a lil. Alt. clears the frame, oil pan clears the axle for now, (4 inch lift) till I get the pan. And now:
Power steering:
Did anyone use the mounts that came with the car engine? Or get the truck mount? I called Auto Zone and they have 2 different hoses for the pump. One is 37 inches and the other is 52 I think. Will the longer clear the mount?
By the way, the mount is for an air conditioner as well, but is not on it.
Throttle linkage:
I tried to hook up the throttle linkage and it is a bit short. Maybe about and inch and a half or so. I noticed there is a hole on the butterfly bracket, just wondering if I can put a ball stud on it to get it to work? Anyone?
HOW did y'all do it?
