    MV446 Gas swap to 6.9 diesel IH med duty

    I need to update my pictures. I was able to find the correct manifolds and oil cooler. Those pictures show the issues I had using the f250 manifolds and oil cooler. I did call stans and decided not to go that route for 2 reasons. 1. They couldn't tell me for sure what clearance issues I would...

    MV446 Gas swap to 6.9 diesel IH med duty

    Got the glow plug harness done. Used 10ga wire and a mega fuse. I found the mega fuse idea from a thread on here. Just utilizes a push button in the cab. Got most the air lines and water lines hooked up. need to find a longer throttle cable and make a bracket since the junk yard engine did not...

    MV446 Gas swap to 6.9 diesel IH med duty

    The 1st and 2nd pic show how the angle of the oil cooler interfere with not only the correct manifolds, but the water outlet as well. Ill post pics of the correct (mostly) oil cooler, homemade adapters, and manifolds shortly.

    MV446 Gas swap to 6.9 diesel IH med duty

    More pics...You can see where the manifolds interfere with the bellhousing. Also, I did not use the old return lines...I was using them to measure for the new stuff.

    MV446 Gas swap to 6.9 diesel IH med duty

    I wanted to try to document my S-series gas to diesel swap Ive been working on. The truck im working with is a 1979 IH 1724 dump truck with a 446 gas engine and IH 5speed direct. The 446 had been rebuilt around 5 years ago and finally spun a bearing. This truck sees use almost everyday of the...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    IIRC I can't turn it around because it interferes with the oil cooler. I already tried. Maybe a combination of the correct manifold, van cooler, etc. I'm still working on it. I'm kinda looking into making my own headers...but we'll see. I'm exploring all options. I check the oil pan and should...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    The passenger side is my issue. So then you're saying the passenger side manifold are the same on both vans and trucks? What about a 7.3 S series? Im hoping they will work if I can find one. Maybe an old U-Haul truck. The drivers side I think itll clear...barely. The water outlet interferes, but...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    Ive been so swamped today, I haven't had a chance to do much research or mockup, but I did take some pics of the clearance issues Im having. The passenger side is a definiatly a no go, but I think I can massage the drivers side exhaust in ok. The lower radiator hose outlet is hitting the oil...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    Thank you. Can you tell me what year van you had? I looked at ones for an 86 E350...but the pictures look identical to the truck ones....at least on the Dorman site.

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    That's definiatly an option. I have pretty good access to fab shop and can custom make pieces if I need to. But man, it would really be helpful if that oil cooler was remote mounted. I am presently investigating the Van route. Thanks for the comments. They are very helpful.

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    That would be extremely helpful. I really appreciate that. If you can see the part numbers too, that might even be useful. And that's what im having most issues with is the manifolds and water necks. I think I can work the ussues out with the water necks, but the bellousing to exaust outlet on...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    Ya, Ive had a chance to finally mock everything up real good this a.m. And My bell housing interferes with the passenger side exhaust outlet and is dang tight on the drivers side. I found some dorman 6.9 van manifolds, but they look exactly alike in the pictures. Not sure if dorman uses generic...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

    I understand an air to air cooler isn't as efficient as liquid to liquid. My sole purpose of removing it is clearance issues, etc. I think they offered the 7.3 idi in later model S series applications, but yes, they never offered the 6.9 in an S series as far as I know. Since they did use the...

    1983 6.9 engine oil cooler bypass kit?

I found a 1983 F250 at the local wrecking yard and Im in the middle of the swap. So far so good, lots of little things to deal with, but for the most...
