6.9l 460 trans

spock1996 · Mar 7, 2010

I read that the bellhousing bolt patterns on the 6.9l and 460 are simular has anyone made a 5-speed from a 460 fit a 6.9l?

I've got the 460 5-speed laying around and can get a 6.9l and i want to make something crazy.

p.s. I asked this on powerstroke nation and someone said someone on oilburners has done it and worked good.

Typ4 went the other way...he made a ZF5 from behind a diesel fit the 460, could you go the other way? I guess. He's the guy to talk to about that. You might be the first person to actually drill the gasser tranny for diesel if you do it. Too bad the ZF is cast as one piece and not with the removable bellhousing like the T18/19 that just makes it too easy to mix and match.

There is a member on page 2 that is looking for a 460 ZF5, sell yours to him and get the right one. If you are anywhere close to him.

The 6.9's in our ford trucks are internationals.... Ford didnt make the diesel so I guess the answer to that would be yes. What is an s international truck?

ford never made its own diesel till the new 6.7l. to my understanding, ford had a bellhousing plate did international use the same bellhousing plate? maybe i am wrong withthe bellhousing plate thing.

this is an international s truck

the s truck has a sae 3 bell on it, about 4 inches thick. The IDI in the fords use a 1inch adapter, easy to find, the flywheel and clutch will need to be ford also.

And bigrigtech just did what you want to do.

thanks, i think this engine has a 5 speed ih trans on it right now, if i an fit it all in where i wanna put it then i wont do the 460 trans, does anyone know if the ih trans would have a 5th gear overdrive or 1:1?

typ4 · Mar 7, 2010

Likely 1;1 If the shift lever goes back for fifth, if it goes forward it "might" be od. not likely though.'

I have a few of the ford adapter plates. If you are looking for one shoot me a pm.

It can be done! Check out this thread. 460 5 speed trans bolted to a 6.9 IDI.

The truck was actually a working 460 gasser two weeks ago, and now it is a running diesel lol.

That's the pic Typ4 posted a while back.. I think it was in the tech articles.

I would weld up the holes that are different then drill the new holes you need. Then strength would not even be an issue. I dunno. thats just me. O and your 460 gasser trans will have a lower 1st gear too
