What type of axle would an 85 Bronco with the 302/Auto have? Also what tranny will it have and is it a good tranny. A guy has a Bronco he is selling cheap and I thought about swapping the drivetrain minus the IFS front into my Jeep. Is the engine a pretty solid engine?

Thanks!!

A buddy of mine has a 85 F150, essentially the same vehicle. His 302 runs strong, and he has a c-6 tranny, which is a AWESOME tranny.

I would upgrade the fuel injection though, his seems to be shitty.

He has a 9" rear in his, not sure if they all came with them or not.

85 was during the changeover years, it may have the 9" and it may have the 8.8".

8.8" rear. only the 351 got the 9" in the bronco when the 8.8" became availible in '81/'82( I think this is when it was intro'd)

From '87 on up all Bronco's got the 8.8"

'The 9" is dead, Long live the 9" '

btw: Bronco C-6 with Np-208 with fixed yoke rear output. F-150 got the dreaded slip-yoke rear output. C-6 is a killer tranny, only age and high miles will kill it behind a 302(or neglect)

Did the C4 come behind the 351 in 85?

What Tcase came behind the C4 in 85?

Does it have the 9" since it was a 351 stock?

my 85 bronco xlt came with a EFI 302, AOD trans, 1345 T-case, and a 8.8 rear end.
my friends 85 bronco xlt came with a 351Ho, C-6, NP208 and 9" rear.

there were no C4 in the fullsize broncos

ok, now I'm confused. Help me out, what trans/tcase do you think this is?

85 Bronco. It has a 351 bolted to the trans right now, but that might not be the stock motor. It is a floor shifter and I don't remember the rear axle.

The guy told me it was a C4(but didn't know).... do you think it is a C6? Does the AOD use a floor shift or electric column shift? I'm supposed to buy it this weekend if I want it, but I still don't know what it is.

Woah... No electronics on the AOD my friend... You're thinkin AOD-E....
And, Ford never built a fullsize truck with a floor shift auto...
As for IDing it, get under there and look at the tranny pan...

what tcase is behind the 351/C6 combo on a 85 bronco? It's a fixed yoke 208 right?
