7.3 idi build for my S1654
Little update truck has been working great other than that clutch issue which I believe I've found the fix. Talked to Phoenix friction and that organic twin disc I put in as a single has a 1800lb clamp pressure where the single disc pressure plates have a 2600lb clamping force. He told me I'd...- IDI-IKE

Here's pictures of the clutches. The grimy one is original to the truck the new one was from the 3208 that used to be a twin disc but lost a couple parts. The bigger one (3208) used the outer bolt circle on the idi flywheel the original clutch used the inner bolt circle- IDI-IKE

Yah for heavy stuff I've been around allot more pull clutches but my bell housing doesn't have the holes to put the pull style fork in it so i'll stick with the push style that way I won't have to also change up the linkage. I'd like to find a twin disc that will bolt up to the flywheel and fit...- IDI-IKE

7.3 idi build for my S1654
I had the flywheel surfaced on it so its definitely flat and good surface. The truck had a 13 inch ceramic 4 puck clutch that was original and quite worn with a 500ftlb rating. The 3208 I pulled the transmission from had a brand new 14 inch organic disc clutch but it was twin disc and the...- IDI-IKE

7.3 idi build for my S1654
Well its been a hot minute since I've been here been stupid busy with other stuff. Got the exhaust done awhile ago got permanent registration on it, I've put 100 miles on it so far according to the new odometer. It has quite a bit of power its actually kinda "stupid" it is for having so much...- IDI-IKE

Yes I will be doing that. It will be wrapped in header tape to help retain heat. Driveshaft is in I took it for a spin naturally asperated because it does not have exhaust yet.- IDI-IKE

7.3 idi build for my S1654
Would have to get creative to do that and allot more cast iron welding since these are factory cast manifolds. I'm sure it probably won't be as efficant as a valley mount with 2 up pipes. Now on the Rajay style kit in my bullnose the turbo flange is near the very front of the drivers exhaust...- IDI-IKE

Mechanical Water Temp Gauge Failure
A mechanical temperature gauge is nothing more than a pressure gauge. The bulb the goes in the water jacket is usually filled with ether as temperature increases the ether expands and makes more pressure, a copper line connects the bulb to the gauge. When the copper line cracks or springs a...- IDI-IKE

I have always been told the shaft ahead of the hanger needs to be at same degree as the engine/trans. I have a inclinometer app on my phone I put my phone sideways against the oil pan or transmission pan get the degree then space the hanger bearing to get that same degree on the front half of...- IDI-IKE

7.3 idi build for my S1654
It will have all the exhaust going though the turbo. It will have a crossover pipe between the 2 original manifold outlets just like a 6.5 gm or the turbo engineering Rajay turbo kit in my 7.3 bullnose. With the SAE bell housing and motor mounts in the way in the rear a valley mount turbo is...- IDI-IKE

As an update the engine is in the truck and running along with the 13 speed transmission. Intercooler water system has been plumbed to its own radiator and 12v brushless water pump, fuel system all hooked up, added isspro temp, oil pressure, EGT, and autometer boost gauges. Transmissions air...- IDI-IKE
