[Beachbuggy]

So I started this 4.0 swap

But my links aren't working!!!!!!

Showing 212,000 on the clock, this was supposed to be a reman with around 60k on the clock.

I stripped everything out, found little rust on the firewall so I cleaned it up.

I fixed your pic for ya (you had the page URL with a .html on the end rather than the URL for the pic itself).

At the upper-right on your Photobucket page are a set of direct links you can use to post your pics with.

Click on the one that says "IMG". This should copy the link to your clipboard with "IMG" tags where you can then paste it straight into your post.


That's a nice clean BII, by the way.

Wow, it does look good and clean. Good luck!

Nice cleanup of the engine bay, shows pride of ownership, good job!

 

[Beachbuggy]

Motor pulled from the Expo

 

[Beachbuggy]

I did the intake, valve cover, oil pan gaskets and some plugs and wires while it was out, then into the bay she goes!

Looking good can't wait to see the finished product!!

I installed ALL the explorer wiring... the door harnesses were a pretty pig PITA, had to swap to the rear door grommets to make them fit in the pillars (which i drilled from the inside, where the factory hole is) and had to unpin and repin the entire drivers harness to fit through the 1 3/4" hole... all to have a Bronco II with auto headlights and keyless entry! (the auto dim rearview is just a bonus)

nice build so far. i guess you're going to have more of a 3rd gen bronco 2 or 1/2 gen explorer when all is said and done. keep up the good work

Look- Power memory seats!

* What year Explorer did you get the key less entry & auto dim wiring harness from ?
* Are you also using the Explorer computer & engine harness ?
* Is that exterior center section/teal color factory ? If so, do you know the official
name ?

THANKS

I used a 1993 Explorer limited donor and swapped EVERYTHING- just seemed easier to me than trying to cut and paste the explorer stuff into the bronco II stuff. my truck is dark and light blue, I think the color you're talking about is called Calypso
