6.9 IDI Radiator 37x15
The square one sticks down below the frame cross member on my RSK kit. I'm afraid I'm going to hit something into the radiator. I scabbed a core support onto the '96 that I put a 6.9L in just so I could keep the short wide radiator. Also the old ones still have a fill cap right on the...- electrabishi

I figured it out. The extra (forward) holes in the 1993 frame are for an engine with a C6. But you have to have the C6 cross member out of the donor vehicle. The forward holes do not line up for the E4OD cross member, but they do for the C6 cross member. :-)- electrabishi

Yeah, but the C6 needs no EMP susceptible components to operate. And this isn't my daily driver, mainly just to run down zombies in case of the apocalypse.- electrabishi

In case of EMP
Also since ima noob here, maybe someone can tell me if there is a thread that addresses this. I got a 1996 crew cab frame that had a 7.3 PSD and E40D and I want to drop in a 6.9L with a C6. I know the motor mounts work between the two. The C6 is just over half a foot shorter which means I...- electrabishi

I think Steam motors are out now. But I have an open mind about them. Although in the early 1900's the split between auto-motive power was 30% steam,30% electric and 30% gas. Look who's dominated the last century, and look who's coming up to take over now. Early last century the best...- electrabishi

In case of EMP
A high efficiency boiler would make very little smoke. Steam from a small boiler could be dissipated easily enough not to be noticed above the trees. A steam boiler could power an alternator or compressor. In the long run it would attract much less attention than a noisy old diesel running...- electrabishi

It appears to me this thread got way off topic from the OP proposition. You want EMP Bullet Proof WVO diesel in a Ford engine? What about a 6.9L (which is of course IDI) and a stock C6 transmission? No PCM required at all. (The 7.3L IDI does not require a PCM either but the E4OD its connected...- electrabishi
