    Will this tranny work?

    Please elaborate here.. I have a 95 e4od (powerstroke) bolted up to a 91 model 7.3 and adapter plate. I haven't replaced the 6 lug converter(that came with the trans) with the 4 lug needed to bolt on the 7.3 flexplate. What is the difference in the plates? Are you saying the mounting depth is...

    Flexplate Question

    If this were the case it should be trashing front pumps as well. I wonder where the cracking occurs..I have read that using fully threaded converter bolts instead of shouldered ones will crack the flexplate where it attaches to the converter.The other scenerio is cracking at the crankshaft area...

    400HP

    just for the sake of argument, possibly dabbling in a scientific approach..LOL . I don't have the numbers at hand, so theoretically speaking here. The ignition point of diesel is 500 degrees or so iirc. The temperature rise of compressing a given volume of air will be predictable. So if someone...

    Vacuum Pump For Us???

    The diaphram from a 6.2 Chevy will bolt on. The chevy pump is driven like a distributor instead of belt drive.It is at the rear of the block where a distributor would be.. Just rob that, unbolt the diaphram and bolt on your drive setup. Be sure not to loose the oil inside the drive unit. The...

    Cooling Fans....

    well, unfortunately the thread is 1-1/4 - 16 left hand on the 7.3 water pump(according to Napa's website). So that adapter will not work. One interesting thing i discovered in my search for a smaller diameter fan to fit my original fan shroud is.. a 6.2 chevy fan blade will bolt on the 7.3...

    Cooling Fans....

    take a look at theses adpters/spacers. They might save some work.The thread on adapter at the bottom of the page interest me. Does anyone know if it is the correct thread? http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/spacers-adapters.html

    Billet converter

    I don't know what you call a "medium duty truck". The E4OD was available at least up to a f-350,behind the powerstrokes, then evolved into the 4R100. The transmission durability will not be a concern in my application. The purpose of my question was the quality of the convertor.To realize the...

    7.3L Turbo return oil leak

    I don't know what size the drain is on the other kits, but the one on my Banks non wastegated kit is a 3/4" tube. I browsed the "Help" section of the parts store and found a pcv style grommet that worked. It is 1-1/4" OD and 3/4" ID. It popped in the valley pan snug and fit the drain tube...

    Transmission Lockup

    From multiple posts with these symptoms, I am suspect of the speedo input.On some of these trucks there is a speed sensor on the ring gear of the rear axle.It is used by the transmission, and ABS .The cruise control might also be affected by a bad signal.Typically the sensor needs to be removed...

    Billet converter

    I have a 7.3 IDI with a non-wastegated banks on it.I am using an e4od with Baumann controller.I would like to know what stall rating you specified and how do you like it ? Stall is a product of HP and weight so the exact rpm is not really a valid answer.I am more interested in how yours is as...

    fabbing new up pipe

    I plan on making it in two or three sections.I plan on getting some type of thermal coating on it as well. I think I can fab a nice product using some of these pieces. http://store.airflo.com/page2.html

    fabbing new up pipe

    I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it.Hypermax Van plumbing is almost exactly like the up pipe arrangement I need.It merges and goes up the passenger side.

    fabbing new up pipe

    The partial Banks turbo kit I have uses a 2.5" up pipe. I will have to make the y pipe to merge into it. Can I have 2" pipe flared enough to seal on the exhaust manifolds? They originally had 2.25" pipe. If I could use 2" pipe it would be easier to route,merge, and also keep velocity high. The...

    Old banks non wastegate parts

    This is my primary reason for keeping the box.You can route clean cool air into it and not worry about trashing the filter.The box even has a water drain hole in the bottom in the event that rain is scooped in,it should not soak the filter.I actually consider the box to be the most space...

    Old banks non wastegate parts

    I found a good used Banks system with the square box.The down pipe uses a 6 bolt flange with two gaskets(one on each side of heat shield).So is this a standard pattern or unique to banks? I would also like to keep the filter in the box, but it is missing the element.They are like $65 new. Does...

    Finished product of the 1979 F-250 X-Cab Conversion

    Thanks, I will explore that option. I don't have the other end of the diesel hoses. They may neck down to the correct diameter to fit the tank.

    Finished product of the 1979 F-250 X-Cab Conversion

    I am interested in what radiator hoses you got to work with the original radiator. I am doing this swap on a 72 Crew cab and found the 7.3 outlets are bigger.

    Idea for fuel economy???

    Well, I have the hypermax aneroid "puff limiter" on my mind lately. It is basically a boost referenced fuel limiter. I want one, but they are $285 . I have read a 7.3 marine IP come with one. If I could adapt one or find one cheaper I would explore that option on my truck.You may can manipulate...

    IP gear tooth count?

    I am confused, no maybe not...OK My thinking may have been off here on the pulse count.The IP gear must make TWO REVOLUTIONS PER CRANK REV.. So wouldn't it see 212 pulses ?The more I think about it , the less I am sure.. OK your choices are 53,106, and 212. LOL Let us know what works...

    IP gear tooth count?

    Here is that info, finally LOL 221-2242S includes: 3342 Cam Gear - 106 teeth (OEM #E3TZ-6256A) and 3341 Crank Gear - 53 teeth (OEM #E3TZ-6306A). The IP gear runs 1:1 with the cam so it is 106 also. However it is running at 1/2 the engine rpm so your pulse count should be 53 ?

    Injector shims size ?

    Even if someone only could determine the spring rate one would be able to extrapolate a crude thickness to pressure chart...similar to coil springs on a car expressed in #'s per inch travel..

    Parts source

    Since I have my engine stripped down I am going to reseal everything and paint.I will need probably everything short of head gaskets.All the parts stores have to order the gaskets. Is there a brand or source preference for them? It appears that Felpro is all that is available.The prices are...

    about to give up on the turbo

    Can you post a pic? I don't really see the problem.. Are you trying to route the charge air to the intake? or duct fresh air to feed the turbo? Could you use something like this to plumb to it? It has a couple of 90 degree boots and piping...

    Off road diesel fuel
