    Caterpillar 1693 (D343) 425hp engine

    I'm selling a strong running Caterpillar 1693 engine from a USAF Airport Crash Response Fire Truck. The truck odometer shows 013400 miles and the hour meter on the engine shows 290 hours. This engine ruled the road through the 70's and is also commonly used in large boats. I'm asking $5000 OBO...

    Changing from a C-6 to a ZF S5-42 manual trans w/hydraulic clutch in a E-350 w/6.9

    I'll see if I can get some help with pictures as I understand some changes were made on the site recently that might affect the process of posting pics. I should update this anyway right now about an issue I'm having. The fingers on the pressure plate sold to me had to small of a center dia at...

    I just acquired a '93 model IDIT 190HP turbo engine, tips and info please?

    Opinion noted however it only has 5" of suspension lift over it's OEM height. I began with a OEM 4x4 van and it always had incredible stability. I don't think an extra 5" is going to make that much of a difference considering I'm seen other 4x4 vans with as much as 10" of lift. Also my OEM front...

    No not even close all the core suppliers here said they had dozens of 460 cases sitting on shelves that just don't sell and no one in DFW, TX was interested in my old 460 case. I sold it dirty at the recycle for enough to buy lunch one day

    I just acquired a '93 model IDIT 190HP turbo engine, tips and info please?

    I'm having trouble getting my 6.9 nto start again after it sat for 3 months. I never removed or drained the fuel filter so I thought it would keep it's prime but maybe it didn't? I did have all the fuel lines open below the lift pump and I had both tanks out for months. It fired up for just a...

    I just acquired a '93 model IDIT 190HP turbo engine, tips and info please?

    No I sold it for scrap. I do however have an extra 4x2 ZF S5-42 complete for a 7.3 sitting in my garage along with the 4x4 unit I put the case on and is in my van. I picked it up so cheap I couldn't pass on it

    Changing from a C-6 to a ZF S5-42 manual trans w/hydraulic clutch in a E-350 w/6.9

    if you're on FB find me there and add me as a friend, tons of pics there in multiple albums dedicated to building this van. I'll try to figure out how to make em show up here but right now I have warm weather and a busy schedule outside working. I'm sure there'll be a cold rainy day eventually...

    The turbo system was nearly a perfect bolt on option for the 6.9. It's on there now, not driven yet but on there. I had to use the 7.3 left valve cover for the crankcase vent location, the pedestal of the turbo was a direct bolt on to the 6.9 intake where the breather used to be and used the...

    Changing from a C-6 to a ZF S5-42 manual trans w/hydraulic clutch in a E-350 w/6.9

    OK here's the promised pictures. Sorry for the delay but I've been so busy working I haven't been online much. Here's a pic of all the hydraulic parts assembled on the ground for a ZF manual transmission in a 1985 Ford van. The master cylinder mounts vertically under the floor with a remote...

    ZF-5/NP205 T-CASE INSTALL PIC'S.

    I have thought about setting up my 205 for twin sticks, not familiar with the cable shift idea so if you have a link to it please post it here and I'll check it out. Right now though cash is tight and I need it on the road so things are just going back together for now. If the world goes on in...

    ZF-5/NP205 T-CASE INSTALL PIC'S.

    It's now installed. I spent about an hour using a Dremel tool and carefully notched the case. It did require removal of one of the bosses that the shifter bracket used to bolt to but that's OK because I can use a single boss with a the single bolt setup that was on my C6

    ZF-5/NP205 T-CASE INSTALL PIC'S.

    I'm hoping as old as this thread is that I'll get a response. I have a ZF 5spd I just installed in my 4x4 van, it is the 4x4 model trans. I also have my old Spicer 205 xfer case which used to be behind my C6. I just realized today that the old C6 had a notch cut in it for the linkage to clear on...

    Changing from a C-6 to a ZF S5-42 manual trans w/hydraulic clutch in a E-350 w/6.9

    I will take lots of pictures tomorrow when I go back to the salvage yard to purchase the whole setup. I'm not sure where the reservoir is located yet but I don't think it's mounted on teh cylinder.
