New to forum but you seem to have information on the above.
Building an 89 Bronco II for my granddaughter. All is well, runs great she loves it but unfortunately I live in California and cannot get it past smog. Bypassing that problem I am now considering a 4.0 SOHC late enough to have the OBDII so I can get rid of the OBDI. It will need to be instlled correctly in order to pass the smog gestapo, but that just means that everything is working as it did in its original home. My real question is will it bolt to the current A4LD? If not is there a bellhousing for the A4 that will work? I did rebuild the trans so swapping out a bellhousing is not a problem.
The other question which I should have addressed earlier is will the A4 handle the SOHC or should I look for a 4WD donor vehicle?
Thanks in advance for any info you can supply
