@darenwinckler7027 5 ай бұрын

The shifter linkage is actually just a throttle rod. It's a thick wall tubing that 1/4 heim joints screw into. And I made a bracket for it to pivot off of on the transmission.

Why not use the gm radiator?

@darenwinckler7027 10 ай бұрын

The biggest reason, I was being cheap. The radiator in the truck was already new & a heavy duty. So I just used what I had, hoping it would work. And it has done good so far. Never have had any cooling problems yet.

Hey bud, picking a LM7/4L60 for the wifes bronco. Ford shift pattern is PRD21 with OD as a button. 60Es pattern is PROD,D21. How did you hookup the factory column shift and how did you make the pattern work or are you not able to shift down to 1 gear?

@darenwinckler7027 3 жыл бұрын

I had this covered in one of the video's I did. But I just made a some spacers to hold the factory bracket to the 4l60e transmission. And used 1/4 hime joints to connect from the column linkage to the trans. Only problem I have, is where my exhaust is. It keeps me from pulling all the way down to Low manually.

@@darenwinckler7027 Pulling down to 1st is what I was wondering about, the chevy pattern is obviouls p r od d 2 1 and the 95 broncos is prd21 so I dodnt know if there would be enough travel and how the notches in the steering column would line uo to be able to get down to 1st. The 95 is cable shifted too. I think they switched in 94 to cable.

@@tjg841 yes it indicates correctly. You'll have to get a wiring diagram for what ever vehicle you used everything from. Because R-D-3-2-1 all indicated through the serial data line. But P & N are on their own wires & have to be wired into the cluster. A good wiring diagram of the cluster harness & ECU harness is a must for figuring this out.

Looks good! What did you do about the power steering lines?

@darenwinckler7027 2 жыл бұрын

Had to hand make them. Luckily they are flared like a brake line. But I took the factory line from the GM pump. And the factory line from the Ford. Spliced them with a hydraulic splice. So that the GM would go to the Ford style at the power steering gear. But I did a video on this. I think it's even in the title. Look it up on my channel. Because you'll need to install a regulator in line.

how did you go about 4l60e connecting to ford drive shaft

@darenwinckler7027 Жыл бұрын

Had to use a new drive shaft. The 4l60e was shorter then the e4od that came out the truck. But what is crazy. The drive shaft that's in the truck now. Is out of a late 90's early 2000's chevy truck. The u-joints were the same size. So hit the salvage yard & do some measuring. You might find one that'll work. That'll save a bunch of money. New drive shafts will cost around $400

@darenwinckler7027 4 жыл бұрын

Ran all new fuel lines. Took out the side tank. And just upgraded the intake pump in the rear tank. But there isn't much you can do with the factory plastic fuel line's. So I removed the factory one-way wave off the pressure side. Used some 3/8 efi fuel line. And run all new pressure and return line to the engine.

Can a carb 87 302 be swapped into a 97 f150

@darenwinckler7027 2 жыл бұрын

Anything is possible, but I don't think it'll bolt right in. The 5.0 & 4.6 engine's are very different. So the mounts will all be different, locations will be different. Then the fuel, ignition & transmission side of it are going to be something else you'd have to try & figure out. So unless it's something you just really want to do. I think I'd stick another 4.6 in it.
