I have now sold the 3 kits I had made. Because of how long it took me 2 sell them I will not be making any more unless 3 people want them and have money up front. Just PM me if you are serious about a kit. I have a years worth of hard wheeling on mine now and it's still working great. I have found that the larger bellhousing puts more leverage on the 4.0L motor mounts than they can handle and I recommend building a tcase mount like on a 205. RB

It's funny cuz I was just talking about this with a co-worker the other day. Glad to see someone actually done it. What issues besides motor mounts have you ran into in the year you've been testing? I hate my auto and want a manual so bad. 435 would be perfect for me.

That really has been my only issue. I just got back from turtle ridge where I beat the beast relentlessly and it held up fine. I dented the whole left side of the van and blew 2 windows out of it. Had a blast.

I still think this is by far the coolest RBV V6 tech there is. I would really like to do it with a wide ratio T19 though - synchronized, ultra low 1st gear would be bad ass!

I will get incontact with you when I am ready to purchase it from you.
One more question
Do you think I could do the conversion with out removing the motor?

No need to pull the motor. I built the BroncoStar without pulling the engine.

Would a bell housing for a 460 work with your adaptor?
