94 idi turbo with 87 cab swap revival thread.

[SebastIDIan]

F-Superdutys had 4wd transmisssions in them, so you've saved a lot of headache right there

I second cpdenton, handshakers all the way.

Does the speedo work? Being a 94 frame I would assume the VSS is in the rear axle but the 87 cluster is cable driven

If it does then there's a good chance they hooked it up to the transfer case so just bolt it to the ZF and you're good to go.

I don't know about the speedo I think you're right. But I'll probably take the cable and cluster from the superduty.

Good catch. This is a website of a member here. Many have used this plate and it works well.

do it soon. he's prolly getting out of the business within a month or two due to taxation issues.

FYI, bronco graveyard sells the plates but I have no idea who they are sourcing them from. Could be freebird for all I know.

Well I hope this isn't a huge problem but I found a crack in the bell housing. I found a guy that says he should be able to weld it for me but he still hasn't seen it in person yet. I'm optimistic that he can repair it he quoted me $150.
Any idea what I should ask for my old e4od when I sell it??

Thanks. Looks like they should have almost everything I still don't have! Great link

Have any of you used this plate? Do I need to remove the existing metal work or do the stuffiners just bolt right over what's already there?

all you do is remove the pedal assembly, install the plate, then reinstall it all.
then there are a few fasteners to bolt in.
i had rust in my firewall, so i had to replace the steel, and then i added more support, and welded everything in, but i had everything removed, and i am fond of welding

But if everything is solid and looks like it might have a block off plate for the clutch so I still need the stiffiner? Or is it just for repair?

Here is the tranny I'm hoping to use. This side has the id tag.

consider it "prevention" from disaster.

Someone here had a crazy runaway story that involved a flexible firewall preventing him from taking the truck out of gear.
