    Build Thread:: 1979 f150 7.3 IDI Conversion (Old Ironsides)

    Nice lookin build you got going there, If the truck is bump steering the track bar won't fix that it only centers the wheels you'll need to change the C bushings to 7* negitive, you'll only need to drop the track bar if you added a drop pitmen arm, FYI the HD rad works great with the diesel set...

    Slick idea found on CraigsList

    I just use 4 of the bolt holes with chains and a clevis on my engine hoist, And the chains don't take up much space, That would be risky on a classic truck bed IMO.

    Catastrophic fail?

    We've all done it, When I rebuilt my first engine I didn't have a torque wrench...And well let's say it didn't end well,We all had to start somewhere and a locked engine is the perfect place to start

    Most Reasonable Priced Quality 3 disc Torque Converter for a '94 IDI Van?

    E4OD VS. 4R100

    Its not that hard to build a harness it only takes a little time, As for fit now I'm confused I thought a diesel 6.9 and 7.3 had to have a diesel trans...Now a C6 and a E4OD wont interchange? If that was the case then why not just change the bolt on adapter plate. As for it being a guessing...
