Re: ZF-5 Behind a 400 M block swap - in an Early Bronco
I found that in order to bleed mine completely, I had to use a pry-bar thru the inspection window and manually operate the fork. before you tear it down try that!

I bled it outside the truck as mine is external. I bet it will be fine. So far the clutch feels great but will have Kirk drive it to have a feel.

Sweet! That had to feel good. I can't remember, what gears are you running?

Re: ZF-5 Behind a 400 M block swap - in an Early Bronco
You have me thinking about whether a mild EFI 351w with 4.56 and 37s could turn that .76 final drive....

ZF-5 Behind a 400 M block swap - in an Early Bronco
True 37 " tires with od I would go with 4.88. But that's what worked for me in my big bronco
I think 4.56 with od and 37's you would be ok

Re: ZF-5 Behind a 400 M block swap - in an Early Bronco
I'm not sure it would work all that well with the current 302, at least on anything resembling a hill. Either way, a new trans is a long way down the list of plans.
