two questions

[tdub]

But first, I've missed the Bronco Zone. I was off visiting family in oklahoma for a while. It's not as easy to get on the internet there. 30 - 45 minutes to load a page. I couldn't believe it. Maybe not that long, I'm probably just impatient.

As some of you may recall I have a 93 Grand Marquis. I've been looking around for the model number. The thing is too low to get under and peak at, plus I'm not that savvy at visually identifying transmissions. My bronco's on a rack at my friends shop. Replaced the the output shaft seal, which took a little longer than the 1.6 hours flag time suggested. I'm not bitter. Anyhow, I thought I'd service the tranny while it was up in the air. I pulled the pan down to reveal all sorts of metal and full needles from a bearing. Needless to say it was not a good day. I was curious is the marquis trans would fit under that if I took the little tail off and put the extender on it. I've look all over the internet, just maybe not in the right spot.

The second question - how do you fit duals under the bronco? I'm totally a newbie at exhaust. theres a lot of room under there, but I looked to see how it would work, and it seem like working on something post second exhaust might be difficult, especially if i have to pull the transfer case again. If any one has pictures I'd love to see them.

I don't think just changing the tail housing will do it. I believe the 4x4 transmissions have longer output shafts. You could maybe use the case & some of the internals assuming they're both the same (ie. AOD's) but I'm pretty sure you'd nee dat least a semi-rebuild. Maybe someone who's sure will be able to confirm or deny this.

Usually duals are run down the passenger side & then split again to go out the right & left sides of the trauck or straight out the back. Sometimes they're run side-by-side the whole way and both kick out on the passenger side. There are several ways to do it but they all pretty much involve running the drivers side over to the passenger side & then both of them together the rest of the way. Sometimes a 2-into-1 muffler is used with just a single tailpipe, again, lots of ways to do it, just depends on what you like & how much you want to spend.
