    Clutch not disengaging completely

    Im guessing you have a throwout bearing thats sticking...thats why the bell broke. You should have never had to elongate those holes in the firewall plate. You keep hammering on the sheet metal at the tunnel till you can move the plate over enough it lines up with the steerjng column bolts.

    Firewall cracking

    this is slightly incorrect.... the 80-82 F-series got a mechanical linkage clutch and not the hydraulic clutch. some 83's even had the mechanical clutch still. 92+ is a completely different firewall and dash/steering column design. They are supposed to have a reinforcement built into the...

    Firewall cracking

    both are correct...the force is from the inside out...putting it on the outside may help but in the end you will end up cracking the welds overtime. and i am that member that makes the firewall plates

    7.3L IDI E4OD to 300 I6 NP435 trans swap?

    the ratios are off in an NP435 for a diesel. can you make it work? sure.... couple people have done it... Dieselcrawler has one in his crawler....I know another guy that swapped a C6 for an Np435 in a truck i sold him.... you be better off finding a T19 or a ZF5 and leaving the F150 alone...
