Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap

[Entourage]

Looks really nice Rox - you guys are doing some impressive work.

[ZOSO]

I see a mistake.

I'll point it out now. So.... your going EFI right? most likely gonna use the BC cable throttle? So why did you leave the bell crank from the original throttle bolted up? now when you go to remove that for the cable your gonna have an ugly spot on the firewall....

[Gunnibronco]

I noticed that too Zoso. I have my bell crank sitting on my garage floor, waiting to be given to Landsharker.

Stupid newby question here: Will someone please identify the bell crank for me, and tell me its purpose?

Thanks

what can I say...................we got in a hurry because my neighbor who was doing the painting only had so much time to do it so we got hurried on the preparation

don't worry, I will figure out a way to deal with it so there won't be any ugly spots on the firewall

The whole build is turning out better than I anticipated! Nice job on the transmission rebuild Viper and Rox.

I really learned a lot from Viper doing this trans rebuild.

I sometimes forget to to give full credit where credit is due.................

I really appreciate all the help you, Viper, and Shawn have provided through out this build.

With that in mind, time to publicly acknowledge all those that helped yesterday

Looks like it is in the same place your right hand is Mike.
You guys are looking good over there, the build, not the Bieb.

Jeff,
You might consider using an explorer shift lever for the OD cancel button. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showpo ... ostcount=5

I know that fella personally if you want to contact him...

[landshark]

are you able to use any ford type OD off/on switch?

would you be able to use one from a Later year bronco or f150? I have one on mine and have seen a few in the yard with auto columns... not sure if they would be any easier or harder to adapt, iam sure the explorers would be the same effort but just throwing that out there.

[Viperwolf1]

Maybe. The explorer one would absolutely work. The lever end where it goes into the column socket is different then the Bronco lever so it would require some cutting and welding. I doubt there's a lever w/OD button that's a direct swap.

[landshark]

I bet the exploder would be easier to find too...

[akaFrankCastle]

Why not use a stock looking dash mount OD switch? Mod something up similar to the hazard light through and build the OD in behind it. If you like the stock look.
