Not yet. Waiting for parts to arrive. The ZF is too big to fit between the frame rails comfortably, so i'm gonna sell it and get a R150F from a 5VZ-FE 4Runner (driver's side drop on the case). But I have all the parts on the way to do pretty much everything else. Also, stay tuned for this new...

I've actually had to abandon the ZF trans. Way too effin' big. The downpipe would either have to go entirely under the bell housing, or out the hood. Going back to my original plan to use a Toyota R150/1F

I'm lucky that my dad is footing the bill for the parts since it's his truck, and I'm doing all the labor cause I have the tech know-how and resources to do the swap. 33" tires, stock axles. Dunno exactly which ones, I think 8" in the front, 9" rear. The ZF I got also has a 5.9:1 Low gear built...

This is how far I've gotten in engine placement. I want to bring it forward about an inch or so.

Yeah, the OM606 is a 6 cylinder. I got it mostly fit up in the engine bay last night. With the head against the firewall, I had about 5 inches from the front of the pulley to the radiator. Like I said, just need to modify the crossmember so the engine sits low enough to clear hood. Luckily my...

I've done a rear sump pan conversion for mine, but I will still have to modify the front crossmember in order for the motor to sit low enough for the hood to fit. Did you run into any issues fitting the steering damper with your relocation? I was thinking about notching the hell out of it, and...

Reviving this dead thread in the hopes that OP will see it. I'm in the process of doing the same swap myself. '97 NA-T OM606. My biggest question right now is how did you block off the factory cooling ports when you did the oil filter relocation? My factory ports are just held in by O-rings and...

Oh i know. ;) I've wanted it for years, but he's shot me down my whole life, haha. Maybe he'll leave it to me when he dies... in like 30+ years!

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely gonna be starting slow. Luckily dad will be supplying the parts, while i supply the labor. It is his truck, after all! Haha. Anyway, i'll be washing the crap out of it in the afternoon, and start making a shopping list for fluids and gaskets. The hoses seem pretty...

Title says it all! My dad bought a 1973 Bronco when i was 7 in back 2002, drove it for 2 years, and it's sat untouched in our driveway ever since. 302 V8 automatic C4. In a lot of ways, this is my dream project. I've wanted to own this truck ever since he got it. But, in a lot more ways, this...
