Ok, I know this isn't a 450/550 but I want to build a long haul toy out of a 1999 International 4700LPX....hold on I'll get to the OBS piece in a second. The truck has a powerstroke backed by an allison 4 speed auto. My end goal is a 1993 IDI with banks sidewinder in place of the PS, but want to put a ZF-5 out of a F450 in it. I understand that the MD trucks have a front motor mount and a mid motor/trans/bellhousing mount. I can swap the front mount to the IDI and make a rear crossmember. Any issues with the two points of contact btween the motor/trans and the frame being that far apart? or should I fab some sort of mid-mount off the bellhousing/back of the block?
