Advance Adapters Ford V8 to the Ford Bronco II

Ford V8 to the Ford Bronco II, Ranger Truck 4 & 5 speed, adapter plate kit.

This adapter is used to adapt a Ford 302 to the Bronco II, Ranger 4 speed and 5 speed manual transmissions. The adapter plate is .750” in length and manufactured from strong 356 T-6 heat treated aluminum alloy.

The adapt plate includes an adapter plate, pilot bushing, bearing retainer, fastening hardware, and adapter instructions.

Transmission

The adapter plate is designed for exclusive use with the Toyo Koygo 4 / 5 speeds and the Mitsubishi 5 speed. These transmissions have removable bell housing.

This adapter plate bolts to the front of the stock manual transmission. This allows a standard Ford V8 bellhousing to be mounted to your stock transmission. When using the original transmission, it is best to obtain a late model (1984-87) F150 bellhousing*. This bellhousing utilizes an external slave cylinder that works well with the Bronco II & Ranger master cylinder. This bellhousing was only used with the 164 tooth flywheel. This will cause problems with tunnel clearance, so a body lift is normally recommended. The 4 or 5 speed transmission will need slight modifications to the input shaft pilot tip, clutch splines, and stock release bearing retainer. These modifications are noted on the instruction sheet provided in this kit.

Clutch Requirements: These stock transmissions all utilize the same length & spline count on the input shaft. If you are using the F150 bellhousing, the following Centerforce clutch components work well on this application. PNCF260000 - Centerforce 11” Pressure Plate (bolts to flywheel with 3 sets of 2 bolts) PNCF360049 - Centerforce 11” Pressure Plate (bolts to flywheel with 6 evenly spaced bolts) PN384070 - Centerforce 11” Clutch Disc 1” 23 spline (same as a Dodge disc) PNN1714 - Clutch Release Bearing

(Note: Vehicles 1988 & newer used an integral bellhousing & transmission. We do not offer any adapters to retain this transmission).

Note: This adapter plate design kit requires Ford truck bell housing.
