[410Fortune]

its that 5.0 you got there haha.

 

[Terran]

damnit, i was all excited.

 

[410Fortune]

dude dont worry about it, the pushrod 4.0L is an EXCELLENT engine, trust me I have a 5.0L V8 under my hood and the truck pulls the hills about the same as it did before, there are times when the V8 shines, but the mightly 4.0L is a workhorse engine with plenty of balls!

Starting the swap

Hey all...got the Bronco II and just about have everything pulled on it. The c-5 looks nice.. I will try to post photos as to the drop in. Anyone interested in a bunch of Bronco II parts?? The 2.8 liter is really nice. Has 82,000 miles on it. Just broken in. Anyhow, now I begin the swap. Wish me luck!

 

[Hammer1]

Got the old a4ld out and have one more question before starting on the c-5 install... do I use the old torque converter from the c-5 as well?? Also, would you advise using the Bronco II transfer case or sticking with the Explorer electronic transfer case for ease of install/linkage. I know they both bolt up to the c-5 but the Bronco II has a nasty linkage setup.... Thanks!

 

[Hammer1]

Okay, found out the answers to my own questions... Anyone able to give me advice on the linkage setup post I put out there?? I have pictures at www.respecki.net under 'transmission swap'.

The plugs/wires are for the solenoids (sp?) for the t-converter lockup and OD.

C5 neutral safety switch and back up lights.

the other questions I cannot answer.

 

[Hammer1]

The big plug on the a4ld with the prongs sticking out is the neutral start switch & the backup switch together. But what is that little plug in to the left side almost down near the pan...

 

[Brian_B]

Solonoids. I can't spell that word. They are in the valve body. I thought thats the one you were asking about.

 

[Hammer1]

Anyone have some info on the neutral saftey switch on the 1984 c-5 trans and the 1994 explorer a4ld neutral safetly switch wiring? I want to splice the 1994 wiring into/onto the 1984 wiring going to the neutral safety switch. Can anybody identify the correct wires to cap, splice, and or leave alone?? Brian? Thanks.

 

[Brian_B]

Umm...sorry my brother took my A4LD and C5 books as well. The neutral safety switch and the back up lights both come out of the half round deal on the side of the C5.

Once wired, you have to adjust the neutral safety switch to neutral and not some gear.
