I am a veteran 4 wheeler, but new to the B2 complex.
This thing is sending back to school.
I want to drop a fresh 2.9 in my 88 an I am not happy with how easy the work is. I came out wondering if I could "CANE" some ford engineers. It didnt have to be this way! I had the typical blown head gasket, so I thought I will just yank that puppy off there , stick a new gasket on it and saddle up. works on my F100. I consulted with some young ford guys that began with NEW HEAD BOLTS, duh why?
So I am getting ready to comply when the tranny begins howling in gears that the shift is in 1-3-5 ( loud ) now I am more not happy. So today I suited up , and there to my surprise is a transmission situation. Front drive shaft screws are what look like torx, but arent T20, and a 3/8 open end fits but slips off. I went to my tool shed got 12 pt 13mm for the the rears. I am looking at this tranny and it isnt anything like my jeep T90. Or my bronco witha 4.9 four speed. So
Do I have to dissasemble the tranny to get it out and where does it bolt to the engine.
