Crap, just noticed that. I know I'm 60, but do they have to rub it in?

Its a 4sp OD automatic common to the Rangers, Bronco2 and explorers(without V8 engine) Its a high failure rate in the early years.

After rebuilding the orginal and it failed year later, Got a 2nd one and rebuilt it, Lasted a week then failed! Found out later I got the oilpump in wrong...oops!

I would put a 300 big six in the Bronco2, but its tooooo long of engine and I'm not going to bash the firewall in to make it fit. I may put a 302/aod in insted.

Thanks 4 the info - OK, "high failure rate" not an option 4 me then. (Rebuilt it, oil pump NG? a trani w/an oil pump?)

The 300 IS in EBs. 1 guy moved the fire wall (seer Bronco Driver mag), another went Forward!?! (wow).

How bout a V6 4 your BII (nice Buick?)? Look on the net. They have a site full of conversions, How Tos etc.
BTW eddie: If U wanna see some crazy titles under your sign-in-name go to our (the Mass. Chapter) forum. Some of the state leaders have 50,000 posts (only a few yr membership too - buncha 'hens' I guess). I just got Senior for the 100th post n I'm only 57 y/o - a youngster, just gettin broke in.
