I had completely forgot about pics - it’s been a while since I did this but my surge tank fit in the overflow bracket almost perfectly. I did add a piece of rubber between the tank and bracket to take up some slack. I moved the stock overflow to the drivers side and kludged up a bracket using...

Let me get some photos this week - here is the only one I had handy - I did move the overflow to the drivers side.

No sure about your vintage, but later LS3’s (and I can personally attest on my 2006 C6 Corvette) had issues with the harmonic balancer and crank pulley separating - the pulley would begin to wobble and the belt would have this annoying chirp/squeak - fairly easy to change, except on the vette...

Looking for a direct shift assembly 1976 FJ40 - 4 speed transfercase. Mine is cracked.

UPDATE Found one! Looking for the direct transfer assembly for a 4 speed transfer case (1976) - your 78 should be the same

76 for me - yes those years are the oddballs from what I’ve seen.

I bought these off eBay -lister claimed they fit a 79-83 Toyota pickup - fortunately they had pictures and measurements - these measured 4.75” and fit perfectly - originally maroon, I painted them with vinyl paint -my camera and light highlights the color difference - in person you can’t hardly...

My son bought a cover for an early bronco from wild horses, Bronco Covers - WILD HORSES Early Ford Bronco Parts & Accessories For grins I tried it on my 40, seemed to fit ok - a bit short and this was with a soft top on - if you are looking for alternative sources

My only issue with my system was the fitech temp sensor location - my stock manifold has no port and I made a half heated attempt to get the passenger side port plug out of the head - I gave up and bought a water neck with a temp port -not ideal but it works. My gauge sensor is on the drivers...

Did the carb to fitech swap about a year ago - I’ll never go back and it wasn’t very difficult. My impression is the sniper is a setup and go vs the fitech which is more of a tweaker’s system. The fitech is fine but requires more input from the user, but it was first to market and cheaper...

I should add I’ve driven around in the Texas heat with no vapor locking issues yet - my mechanical fan is a big one off a caddy - it pushes plenty of air under the hood - I like having the surge tank up near the front where it gets some cooler air. My son bought the new hyper fuel module for...

Excuse the mess of wires and hoses - I wanted to keep a vapor canister because I can’t stand gas smell in the garage - overview with surge tank in front corner - relocated my radiator overflow to drivers side and used the original overflow bracket to hold the surge tank - was a perfect fit (this...

Another option for surge tank - this is what I run with my FI tech - same as your sketch - low pressure pump keeps surge full of fuel with a return back to main tank. High pressure loop to and from efi and tank. I can get a picture later. RobbMc Performance Products - PowerSurge

This....I prefer the profile of the factory top, but I see no reason why someone couldn’t build a folding frame that makes it look like a factory soft top - add some factory looking side windows and your in business.
