   Nory,

   I had an 85 Bronco II, which had a 2.8L V6. Although I no longer have
the truck, it seems to me that this was still a pretty substantial hunk of
cast iron compared to my little A series. 

Speaking of Japanese transmission swaps, this one had a Mitsubishi 5 speed
transmission and transfer case in it from the factory.
