You got my number, c'mon over! Axle is under it, need to fab frame mounts, track bar riser brace and tack in riser on brace, figure out how far forward to push it without re-doing a bunch of steering stuff. Ok, maybe I'll re-do a bunch of steering stuff. Dan gettin' at the pitman arm- Some beef- Gotta do the frame mounts- Gettin' there- Dave

What's up with that pinion angle? Not final angle, I suppose??

What's up with that pinion angle? Not final angle, I suppose?? Naw, we're trying to get it to a point where Billy and I can carry it up to Bert's Alignment to make sure everything is measuring right before burning in "c" wedges. I think that shot was before we jacked up the pinion some. I've got it at about 3* right now, need to do the long arm frame mounts and set it down off the jackstands and ball park the caster again. Not super concerned about the front pinion angle, we didn't cut the knuckles on Billy's, just did caster and he hasn't had any problems with driveshaft binding and it drives great down the road. Good eyes though!

Thanks Rich for the cherry picker! I appreciate that very much, now I can put that engine into the stand and throw some parts at it and get it in the Bronco.
Be safe out there floating! ;D

Prolly a "pipe dream" but yea Craig I'm shooting for Annual with a run to Harold's somewhere before then. Between family activities, surfing and travel it will be tight. I've received some engine parts in the form of oil pan kit and valve covers. Thanks Rich for hooking me up with cherry picker and engine stand, that will help get the engine install going. Hope to put it in in a couple weeks. Front shock mounts are 99% built (need paint), still need to push steering box forwards and build brake lines for front. I'll post some pics when I get home next week.
