For a bolted on rotor, go the little extra and use a quality SCHS with some red loctite. Look forward to the next update!
Your thread is making me realize how badly I need a CNC mill...If my wife gets pissed when I bring one home I'm blaming you.
Ohh yeah I need one of your modded winters shifters too she's gonna really hate you.
Great build so far bud.
Go manual with the mill. If you aren't doing production, it's more satisfying.
Thats 3/4" each side. You wont even be able to tell looking at it. Probably be hard to find it with a tape measure when you get tires on. A lot of hassle for 3/4". Ive heard having a little bit wider front end does help turning radius.
Never mind. Need to read more better in mornings before coffee.
That's funny, I did a 4.0L into an 85 and had only to massage the firewall just a bit with a ball peen hammer.And the firewall was significantly modified. I did a 4.0 swap into an 85 chassis and had to cut out the firewall and weld in a section from a '88. The front header was dramatically changed to take the 4.0 radiator also.

You do need to swap the hood and radiator upper support and the headlight supports.
Don't know if the thread got lost in the crash, but I covered all the mods extensively about 10 years ago.
Trial fit in the wheels, all looks good. And then a poser shot of the hubs with the discs on them.
You made a real point. The D44 HP is 1-1/2 wider than the 14B C&C.
So the relationship between the two would be OK. A stock early Bronco is narrower than the stock XJ by 1-1/2"~. A D44 TJ axle shaft would make the front and back about the same width. I want to keep stock shaft lengths so its nothing custom if/when I need a new one. I'm leaning toward the stock Ford 1/2 ton D44 HP width. I hope I have the 14B FF assembled this weekend so I can get started on the D44.
