Idi to power stroke

[79jasper]

You don't have to have the psd specific gauge cluster, but do need to rig up the battery warning light, so the battery will charge.

You need at least some of the fuel lines along the frame too. I know they are different.

Let us know how it turns out. I will be swapping a PSD into my '92 at some point.

Well I'm starting it tomorrow, the actual engine swap was easy, like any other engine swap. I'd also bring a few buddies along to take some work load off. I'm just working on the wiring. The hardest part of this has been removing the stupid dash board. Other than that its pretty easy

The dash isn't all that bad.
Pull the collum and the emergency brake pedal.
The cluster and the kick panels.
There aren't as many bolts as you would think.
Un plug harness at kick panels including the grounds and The firewall.
Disconnect heater cables or vacuum lines.

I pulled my dash out and laid it on a blanket next to the doner dash.
I just swapped the harness out of it and used my main dash.

You need to pull the plug from the firewall behind the e brake and put in the PCM bracket..

Yeah that's what I did although the first dash I took out waaaay more bolts than the second one, but no harm done

If there's anything you feel someone else would need to know while doing the swap, take some pics. I know someone that'd be interested.

Way faster than I could have done it. I can understand why you did it. I almost did the same to my Bronco AFTER I had the 6.9 in and running. I could have bought the whole donor truck for $150. But there's a reason why it was that cheap. The whole thing was a POS!!! I could have bought a good truck with a powerstroke for less than I would have had in that swap so I stayed with the idi. My current project is taking the whole EFI 5.0 and AOD trans from a 1986 LTD and putting it in my 1981 F150. Why? For the same reason as my idi Bronco. Because I want to see if I can do it. The only thing missing is the people telling me that I can't do it. They are quiet after the Bronco project. We all do what we want to with our vehicles. Nice job!
