The larger 164 tooth bell housings may not work with Duff headers and may cause other clearance problems with the starter and frame.)

The C-4 bell housing will bolt on to the C-5 transmission. Just be careful when pulling the C-5 housing because the front pump may come out with it. When reinstalling the C-4 housing remember this is aluminum and the threads will strip very easy if the bolts are not torqued properly. A body lift increases the amount of room where the engine and transmission meet at the firewall. With a 3" body lift I didn't need to do any work to the firewall or tunnel. Without a body lift you may need to modify the floor pans with a big hammer. The heater, A/C box will need modifying for valve cover clearance. The OEM shifter may or may not work with a body lift, but any cable shifter for a C-4 will work on a C-5.

I am always modifying and improving the Bronco II so I may have some more part numbers to add in the future.

I have posted this for informational purposes only, this not a guarantee or a warranty of any kind.

You may or may not need any or all of these parts or part numbers. This may help you in your own decision on what to use or not to use in your conversion. Use this information at your own risk for I cannot be responsible for your use or misuse of said products and information I have provided. In other words you and you alone are responsible for your own actions.

Hope this has helped.
