C4's were never stock in a Bronco II. A C4 with a 2.6/2.8L C5 bellhousing will bolt up, though. The A4LD is another option, but you'd want one with a heavy-duty rebuild and external fluid cooler - actually in any case with an automatic for trail riding/buggy setup. C5's are getting somewhat difficult to find. Can't remember if the C3's out of the older 2.6/2.8L Pinto's, Capri's, and Mustang II's are usable or if the bellhousing will bolt up to a C4 case - actually, I think those were equipped with C4's, don't quite remember. In the case of a C4 or C5, IIRC, you'd want the pan-fill models - I don't recall the number cast / stamped on the case, but they're pretty obvious to spot.
