I have an 89 B2 that I'm doing the 4.0 / axles swap and I'm starting to put things back together. Right now I have the engine in and getting ready to put either the D35 front axle or the transmission and transfer case in. My question is since I lifted the body 3" do I need to extend the shifter...

Notice the outside mirrors they are off a mid to late 80's Escort and they are power.

I swapped the 94Ex dash to make to wiring easier plus the old blue one was cracked and I like mocha or light tan better than blue. Part of the ABS (the controller) is mounted behind the vapor canister I put a red box around it.

If I told my insurance company what I've done or what I plan on doing they would probably cancel my a$$. I'm going to try it. All I have to do is mount the ABS box above the steering box on the frame rail and now they have that brake line that you can bend small radius by hand its real soft but...

Hi, I'm doing the 4.0/axle swap. My donor is a 94Ex but I'm using the rear axle from a 97mountianeer. I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I would like to transfer the ABS from the 94Ex to the 89B2 and was wondering if anybody has done / tried this. I need to replace my brake lines anyway...

Thanks Lono

I hear you Janderson

hmmm, wonder why my pictures didn't upload. try again. My file size was okay the dimension are out of their spec. Gotta re-size.

Okay, I got my trusty Harbor Freight calipers out and both the B2 and Exploder sway bars are 1" in diameter. The end link from the B2 is 4.5" center hole to center hole. The end link for the Exploder is 6" center to center but here's the thing. The end link from the Exploder is straight the end...

Very nice Rookieshooter. Shawn very good reference picture. Are you sure that those are B2 end links they look kinda long. I guess it might be hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks Shawn. How about the end links should I use the ones from the Exploder or the shorter ones from the B2?

1989 B2, D28 to D35 swap. Can someone tell me if I can use the D28 sway bar or do I need to use the sway bar from the D35. I noticed that the end link (I'm hoping that I'm calling it the right thing) on the D28 is shorter than the ones on the D35. I was going the use the D28 sway bar and the end...

Froader, Do you have a V8 or the 4.0? If you have the V8 My sound will be different I have a 4.0 stock manifolds and cats.

Hmm, not sure how to answer that. If it were a gauge I guess I would want 3/4 deflecting.

I have a 1989 Bronco II that I'm swapping a 4.0 into it. The engine has standard exhaust manifolds and cats. I'm looking for some suggestions on what kind of of muffler I can use to give it a nice sound. I know its never going to sound like a big block or a V8 but I thought maybe someone out...

Thanks for that reply. I will keep the 89 Bronco's MC and Booster and only change it if there is a problem.

I'm upgrading my 89Bronco II front axle is from a 94Ex and the rear axle is front a 97 mountaineer disc brakes. Can someone tell me if I need to upgrade my master cylinder and vacuum booster. I've read yes and no. If someone has done this upgrade can you tell me what you used and how it's...

Thanks 4x4junkie. The condenser from the donor was junk and at the time I didn't think to compare them I just scraped it with the rest of the truck after I got what I needed. Thanks for doing that comparison for me. I think I scraped the line from the condenser I know I kept the compressor and...

Thanks Thanks for your help. That link from TRS helped me it says Dana 28 have 12 bolts and Dana 35 have 10 bolts. Mine has 12 bolts so it looks like I'll be changing the axle. Thanks again

I'm doing the 4.0 engine and axle swap. My Bronco is an 89 and the donor Explorer is a 94 X sport but it didn't have the axle ratio that I wanted so I found a 94 X 4dr Eddie Bauer I looked at the door tag before we pulled the axles and it was a D4 which is suppose to be 3.73 Limited Slip. The...

Hi all, I have an 89 Bronco II that I'm doing the 4.0 engine, axles, and I'm also swapping the dash. The donor is a 94 explorer sport. My question is can I use the Bronco's A.C. condenser as the one from the donor was junk and it got trashed after I stripped the donor. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Frog I sent you a PM.

Does any one know where I can get a set of rear disc brake shields for a 97 Explorer Ford part number 2c028. I found one site and they wanted $80ea. Not that I'm cheap but they are only thin tin and I'm building a B2 and I only paid $100 for the whole axle the other u-pull wanted $200 for their...

Shaggymane, Thanks for your reply. This new RTV is amazing. I'm definitely going to use the Fel-Pro gasket. The debate is should I use RTV with it. Fel-Pro gave no instructions in the box. My first instinct is to just use to gasket without any RTV but I've read that you should use some RTV on...

Thanks guys your the best. While I'm at it and the engine is out I'm changing gaskets. I have a Fel-Pro oil pan gasket it came with my Melling HV oil pump. What are your thoughts on using RTV with the gasket. I tried to go to Fel-Pro but no help. Some say yes some no some say just on the corners...
