    ZF with 1356 case install in one shot?

    Hoping for words of wisdom from anyone that has crossed this bridge. Trying to set the transmission jack up for the installation and can’t figure out how to get perfect level with both transmission and transfer case connected. Hoping not to split them just to install. Any suggestions would be...

    1990 7.3idi AC V Belt Bracket Diagram

    Feeling kinda stupid. I have all three volumes,(2,600 pages), of the factory repair manuals, a EVTM manual, and a Haynes manual on disk, along with a Chilton's manual in hardcopy, have OCR the digital copies, created hundreds of bookmarks, and searched for days for the bracket install diagram...

    E4OD to ZF542 Clutch Pedal Question

    Seeing as the new clutch master and slave with new hose is still in the box and waiting to be installed I'm guessing there's a whole lot of air in the system right now. Gonna have to mount the tranny before mounting the slave and hose though. Just got the engine installed this Friday. Want to...

    E4OD to ZF542 Clutch Pedal Question

    Nice. At least I only spent a few hours gnashing teeth before admitting defeat and posting. Thanks!

    E4OD to ZF542 Clutch Pedal Question

    Found a donor truck that had sat rusting for 15 years, been picked over by unknown others, and aside from the heinous condition of everything, got the engine to fire up and even though it was missing axles, determined the ZF was also good. Unfortunately, the steering column was already sitting...

    Anyone ever heard of Hi-Tech Engines in Spokane?

    Yes. Just dropped the donor engine in after a little clean up and a couple upgraded parts.

    Anyone ever heard of Hi-Tech Engines in Spokane?

    All I know about the history is the previous owner had it backed up to a garage door and it didn't move for around 15 years as the 3rd member would only turn in reverse. Just discovered yesterday that guy passed away and the guy he was renting a house from sold the truck as salvage when they...

    Anyone ever heard of Hi-Tech Engines in Spokane?

    Doing a reseal and detailing a donor 7.3 and discovered a rebuild sticker. Says “Assembled with pride Hi-Tech Engines Spokane, Washington “ There’s a serial number for the build. I couldn’t find anything with a phone search. Was wondering if any Washington guys knew about them. I never met...

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    Oops, 3/8 I didn't expect to, especially with a regulator, but I upgraded all the fuel lines to 3/8" PTFE thinking only of aesthetics. Am detailing out and resealing the engine on a stand now.

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    So then, if I was to upgrade to 3/8" from the new regulator to the IP would that make it a 3/8" JIC x 1/2" ORB? Or, a 5/16" JIC to 3/8" adaptor as an option?

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    Got my IP back from a CDD rebuild and the fitting at the center intake was removed. Asked them about it and was scolded for not removing it before sending in. Fine, lesson learned. Now I'm trying to find the threads on the pump to get an adaptor. There is no way in hell I will purchase a new...

    Ford Says "Hold My Beer"

    It is possible the truck rolled off the assembly line with the switch mounted on the dash, with everything in place to add an extra tank except a fill tube, sender wiring, and fuel lines to the selector solenoid. The wiring for the Bronco part under the hood and dash is crazy low budget. Open...

    1989 ZF542 on 7.3 Clutch Interlock

    In truth I could just leave the bypass jumper in the connector that's buried above the steering column they used for the E4OD's, which I'm getting rid of. Kept the interior harness, but have the ZF5 tranny harness and the manual PCU. I haven't driven a stick in years, and am mostly concerned...

    Ford Says "Hold My Beer"

    Yup. I wonder how many of these trucks that went out like this had some random failure that cost unsuspecting owners a lot of grief.

    Ford Says "Hold My Beer"

    Tearing out the dash on a 1989 F350 Lariat Centurion conversion today. It's a short body crew cab base with one tank. Found this tank switch with the selector electrical tapped to the 1 selection. It was buried deep behind the dash, right next to the clutch interlock connector with the bypass...

    1989 ZF542 on 7.3 Clutch Interlock

    Attached is a extract of the interlock from the Ford service manual for 1989, all E and F series. It shows two clips, one orientation and one plastic retainer, that hold the switch in place. New clutch masters don't come with a clip or retainer, nor do new switches. The new master does come with...

    7.3idi Fuel Check Valve Recommendations

    Getting rid of the mechanical fuel pump on my '90 7.3idi. Picked up a Holly Red pump and Racor 500 water separator/filter/heater, which I'm installing on the frame rail at the tank. Going to install a Holly 4-9psi regulator and gauge on the plate that previously held the OEM separator. The...

    7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate

    I'd be willing to pay for your time and shipping. I ordered one that's on the way, but I don't know if it will fit. Once it's in I'll mount the starter and see how it works. Is the a PM feature on this forum?

    7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate

    Appreciate the confirmation! This engine transmission swap/conversion is several "first's" for me, that the donor and mod trucks are 34 and 35 years old, with inconsistent listings and upgraded parts bolting on only adding an unexpected quandary. Thank you.

    7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate

    To keep a long story short, I've found myself in need of the adaptor plate for a 7.3idi to ZF542. I know the part number is 1800475C1. Doing a search that includes the engine/transmission year has limited options. That said, doing a part number only search shows these plates listed for 88-91...

    Solid vs Elastomer Harmonic Balancer- Which is Better?

    The one pulled off has a rubber middle between steel. I'm going with the solid, no middle rubber one. Thanks for all the input.
