fire wall questions

[goldsjos18]

hey guys im in the middle of a 7.3 psd engine swap and i just want to know if a fire wall that is in a 1995 will fit into a 1984 i would like to take the entire fire wall if i could because i also plan on swapping in the dash if you guys have any information on this kind of swap i would much appreciate your expertise

I was actually thinking about this today.
wondering what people did for the bull nose to PSD radiator.
as we cannot run a early OBS/IDI radiator in the bull nose due to the core support.
you should start a build thread in the conversion forum.

From when I pulled the radiator out of the 7.3 and the bull nose they were the same size

thanks! one less thing to worry about.
I have plans of making a 4 dr bronco with a 96 CC
and a bull nose front end.
thought the radiator I pulled out was super small, but it looks like im retarded

but to answer your original question, you can cut out your firewall and install the OBS stuff like I did on the duallie I did a conversion on back in the day.

 

[goldsjos18]

Your bronco might have a smaller radiator because I believe Ford had 2 different core supports for diesels and gas trucks

 

[IDIoit]

yup, but the front end is off a 85 F250 IDI truck.
only the rear portion of the bronco body is being used.

 

[goldsjos18]

sounds like you should be good then i want to see this when your done building it

 

[IDIoit]

next month ill get the body together, I have some other projects on the list infront of it.

one thing to note on the radiator, the early PSD like 94-95 have a cap on the tank like the IDI would. the latter date PSD like 96-97 and kind of 98 would have the Dgas bottle on the fender.

this is from a 97 on my 91.
