    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...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    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

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    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...

    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...

    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...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    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.

    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...

    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...

    drive line angle

    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...

    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...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    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...

    What to consider when building a 7.3 IDI?

    I built a 7.3 for my international s1654 medium duty truck over the winter the engine is in and running I'm waiting on my driveshaft to be done then it needs exhaust. I used a 92 NA 7.3 I tore it down to the bare block inspected everything. It had never been opened up before and was in very...

    T19 to ZF5 1986 F250

    I haven't done it but read multiple times the 87 6.9 could come with a zf5 and they used a smf still same as the t19 flywheel. So if you buy a 87 6.9 zf5 clutch it should work. I put a LUK in my bullnose with the zf5 and I love it has a easy pedal and engages smoothly. The hydraulics will...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    That will be a very cool build! What would you use the truck for? Just because its bad a$$ or you got a something in mind for it? Mines a 7.3 I pulled a 6.9 out of it. Is that clark 5 speed a overdrive unit? My perkins swapped square body has a clark 580VO the O is for overdrive and behind...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    Figured a update is due. Got some progress made. Engine is done internally, 6.9 and spicer 5 speed are pulled from the truck take needed medium duty parts removed from them, custom intake was made with after cooler mounted up. Tonight I welded my "up pipe" into a driver side pickup manifold...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    I'm gonna build my own setup for allot less with a way better turbo and aftercooling. That hypermax kit won't support a 110 pump

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    I'm building my own turbo kit because the bellhousing and motor mounts are just way too much in the way for any valley turbo. My bullnose has a rajay kit on it I'm a huge fan of it myself so I'll be doing one similar on the s1654. I plan on using a pickup drives side manifold on the passenger...

    7.3 knock

    Exhaust leaks can mimick engine knock but usually it's gotta be at a port on the manifold not a midway point. My guess is worn valve guides atleast to me in the video it sounded like the "knock" was coming out your tail pipe as well. I doubt it's rod knock that wouldn't run that long knocking...

    How many of you guys are running a water separator?

    Just to add to this neither of my bullnoses have a fws on my beater old plow truck I got a barrel of what was supposed to be clean diesel mixed with hydraulic fluid so I pumped it into my beater plow truck and I guess the whole bottom of the barrel was water so I kept pulling the filter off (6.9...

    Driveline changes for ZF5 vs C6

    I believe its a direct swap. I've done t19 to zf5 direct swap everything for everything and I've done c6 to t19 direct swap everything for everything so it should work. Obviously the clutch/flywheel stuff doesn't swap between any of the 3 but everything else did from cross member to tcase to...
