Well I keep reading your signature (bmbc40) and wanting to go almost in that entire direction. After puttin around since '82 I'm ready for some changes. Just rebuilt the carter YF w/help from the ford-truck (FTE) forum and seems like a new rig!!! No money (unemployed) so THAT was afordable. From what little I know the ZF may be for me. Body lift, Bilstiens, 250 (for $600, but down in TN me in MA
) all the clifford stuff, some ignition upgrade. Nice to dream...The '77 frame and accoudermints (2" SL, D44, PS) this summer helped. Ring n pinion to match the 33". I'd be done (ie in the poor house, but happy ).
May be @ our next contact I'll take U up on your help offer n tell U my need, pick your brain about if the above dreams 'ill 'get me there'? I think you're in NV and that could mean you have some insights not available to me!
Again, thanks for your contacts/offer/presence.
Chad

what the heck, I got the D5DE too. Different state different guy (has "M" head, is '69 stang). Step 2 is the steam clean. Now I need a bell n starter to listen/ck compression on the stand. 4.9/300 I6, 5.0/302, 351/5.8, any other bells fit. What would the vehicles B? What yrs? Same ol' prob., all crushed around here n don't know "who had what" but know what I need.
Some 1 said my 4.1L's fly wheel, bein so thin (1/2" or less), is auto n I could get either auto or manual transmission bell. Don't sound right? I'd like to get a mani so it'll slide in where my 2.8 was, said it'd bolt right up. Guess I can put the fly wheel from the 2.8 to it? If I got a bell w/hydrolic do you think it'd spin a ZF if I snuck it in behind (one for $300 from neighbor)? May B a 5.0 bell from one of the ford p/u or SUV's had a donner (4 this) w/a hydrolic clutch to fit in the ZF - bad idea?. What else is needed beside slave n master for that - change the clutch, throw out, pilot, bronk's peddle? May B a different cross member 4 the ZF?
Most expensive is to put my C4 to it (needs rebuild). That's nother Q. Bronk is a work truck, need low rev grunt. Auto w/OD may not fit the bill (w/a 250), No high revs allowed, hmmm wonder bout that with the C4, may B manual throtle body.
2" suspen. lift I got = no pan probs, still need the 1" BL? Option: graft the 170 to the 250 pans, redirect the p/u tube to (is it) rear or frnt sump for the 4.1 conversion? Looks like it's in the middle as stock.
Wow, lotta Qs. Long way 2 go, unemployed. Wish me luck...

Well Jeff, things R progressing v e r y slowly.
Got a coupla motors (long story - 1 frm VA one frm TN, two long term on-line buddies [10 yr.s each] for 150$ shippin, 150$ each). One has been machined and partially assembled. I'm hand fitting the exh. port divider in the '69 250 ('stang) right now. I cleaned the rockers but need to get the end plugs for the r. shaft back in. Uncertain on the prt #s.
Got an NV 3550 and just need 100$ more for the adaptors (will take one month more for final savings - that's a wk's pay!). Almost all parts R here'n assembled, just need to place on the rig. Last of the logs have been hauled up to the neighbor's band saw mill. After 30 some yrs the bronk's final season is about here (late March early April - no more trees to drop, the baby forest animals will be nesting there & don't wanna kill any). Hopin to switch from 70% off / 30% on rd to the opposite…
Thanks for askin~

well, 170's pulled.
Time 2 power wash the bay'n scratch, wipe'n paint the bay (& 'under' hood)..
The NV bell's gone & the AA adapter'n ford sb bell is mounted.
I don't look forward to swappin out the spud shaft on the D20. Gotta glue the numerous roller bearings in (w/heavy grease) the housing while swapin the transfer's output shaft to the AA one.
This aint like the 34 yrs of simple maintenance I been doin
8^0 yikes
BTW:
Wanna buy a strong 170? a 3.03? (some ada local circle track guys use this 3 speed - good to 500HP, due to lightness)

transfer done - onto last motor procedures
» Mon Apr 23, 2018 12:26 pm
lill trouble gettin all the ol gears onda new spud shaft...
didn't wanna crush the 1st one on - the oil seal. BUT...
the C-clip wouldn't go on (the slot didn't show @ end) last gear wuz coverin it.
Took over to the press'n "cheeeeeek, creeeeek" pressed down till the shaft showed the final slot...bout the same time -
a 'bottoming' could B felt in the pump arm of the ram. "Better stop right there"
So now it fits the c-clip. Roller/Needle berrings seemed too big for the housing/gears but glued em into place w/da grease. Slipped the shaft into the Transfer. Seems fine after all.
Onto snot-gasket-snot to mate transfer to transmish...but he stopped me. Doesn't wanna put them in as a set. Wants one-@-a-X.
Back to da motor. Vaced a corn kernal out of the thermostat reciving area of the block. Musta come frm the corn bin other side of the garage? Damn mice! We just re-did an engine harness a lady brought us frm mice damage.
Ready to tq the APR head bolts (head on just to keep the dust out). Is it 80 ft lbs of tq? Don't know? How do I find out?
Might as well have my own, just never thought it a good idea as knew it would take a long time. Mike W. encouraged me to do so but (as compaired to most the folks I C on here) I wuz a lill embarised to take the space...
