Well my carcaine problem showed it's ugly head again this weekend. Here's a little backstory, couple months ago I lost a drive line on the bronco at 65 mph on the freeway. Not sure if I shared that or not. So I had a new driveline built with a bigger CV joint which has a little more flex to it. But ever since that happened I've had this odd vibration, different vibration than it had before. Well a couple weeks ago I put a digital dash in it to replace the factory dash that is slowly been dying on me. Well when I put the oil pressure sending unit in the back of the block I found that the transmission bell housing was broken. Cracked all the way across the top of it. I'm assuming it happened when that driveline cracked loose and shock loaded the transmission.
So my fabricator brain started going crazy. I have another C6 for this setup. But I want to change the way it's mounted and drop it down just a little bit to try and get better driveline angle. I think when I swap this motor in and used the l&l motor mounts it actually makes the front of the motor sit down a little bit farther which entail picks up the tail shaft and makes things not work properly with each other. It's always had a little bit of a harmonic vibration when you're on and off the throttle. Also the rear main had started seeping a little bit on the motor so I had to pull everything out of it to fix these problems anyway, so why not go full dumb dumb and do a coyote swap!
Here we are after a weekend of shenanigans. I bought a 60,000 mile pull out 2016 Gen 2 coyote with a 6r 86 speed. The adapter should be here in a week or so to put my case behind the 6r80. Got the 460 out of the bronco and sold. Also got all the old motor mounts out. Started cleaning up everything I'm going to go through all the wiring underneath the hood. Pretty much only thing I'll be missing by the end of the week I believe is the harness. I kind of want to get everything in the truck and mounted and ready to go and then I'll wire it. I know I have lots of projects going on but this is one that the wife and kids and I use a lot so I'm trying to get it back on the road as soon as possible. It will be moving in and out of the shop trading places with the van on the weekends so I can work on it Friday Saturday and still get customer stuff done during the week
