    7.3L IDI anybody think I can fit it in an early bronco?

    I just measured my fathers powerstroke today at 44" from bellhousing to front of radiator. Now assuming that that is true for the IDI I will next get the length of the early Bronco engine compartment.

    T-19 vs. ZF 5 speed?

    I think that rebuild kits for T-19s are lower dollar too. I have seen about $150 at jeff's Bronco graveyard

    7.3L IDI anybody think I can fit it in an early bronco?

    Then I would have the t-19 bolted up to a heavy duty t-case that it fits. I guess I would have to cut out the inner fenders and core support just to get air in there! The standard Bronco coils are not thick enough of wire so I would need mabe something off a havy tuck with coils (real thick).

    7.3L IDI anybody think I can fit it in an early bronco?

    I think it will. I have not found the exact length of the engine compartment but I am optimistic for once about something.

    7.3L IDI anybody think I can fit it in an early bronco?

    It looks like I will need 40" from the fire wall to the front of the radiator to fie an IDI into the Early Bronco engine bay. I will go research the Early Bronco engine compartment.

    7.3L IDI anybody think I can fit it in an early bronco?

    I may buy an Early Bronco and would try to get a 7.3 in it. Any reasons not to? I would cut the inner fenders some so I could get to the exaust. Bolt the T-19 up to the dana 20 and adapter. Iunderstand that all adapters between the tranny and t-case on stock fords have the same bolt pattern on...

    Fullwidth axils under narrow truck vs. full width turck mpgs?

    I am considering running 1 ton axils full width under my scout (same width as an early bronco) and comparing the fuel econmy to a full size like 1979 Bronco or F-350 for miles per gallon. I know that the tires sticking out create drag but is it more than on a ful size truck where the tires are...

    jumbo torque 351 W turbo concept

    Just an idea that I have never seen propesed! I have a '82 f-150 and I was thinking it is a good set up needing a little tweaking. I get 6-11 mpg running from 1300-3000 rpm and a 50 mph cruise at 2400 rpm. I was thinking that max torqueat 2300 rpm is too high and I do not care that it makes 200...

    Fuel milage

    That is just spectacular! I get 6 in my 1982 F-150 with a 351 W 2 barrel, short duration valve timeing, restricted breathing and 2.25" singel exaust. It has 4.11 gears with a stock c6. I have seen as high as 15 keeping my rpms below 2500 rpm and peak torque feals to be 2200-2300 rpm. I...

    Kens pump and injector specs

    I can learn as much about it as I want once I own a high performance pump! Until I own rights to my own Kens injector pump then I do not have much right to the knollege. If I can get 242 hp at 2700 rpm and 541 ft/lbs of torque at 1500 rpm from a $525 pump and open exaust, intercooled, 12-16...

    T-19 vs. ZF 5 speed?

    I just know of the 338 ft/lbs of torque at 1500 and 180 hp at 3000 rpm stock. I have heard of a man named Ken who distributes hot pumps for $525 to spit out more fuel along with turbos. I am more intersted in tuning for seat of the pants and good around runner. I do not care about hp- just good...

    T-19 vs. ZF 5 speed?

    I hear alot about poeple breaking trannies with diesels. What is that at about 700 ft/lbs of torque? A freind told me that the NP 435 and the T-18 and ZF 5 speed are good for about 550 ft/lbs of toruqe and once you hit the 600 ft/lbs range you need a T-19 or a C6. What do you do when you hit 800...

    T-19 vs. ZF 5 speed?

    I am looking at a 7.3 L diesel for my 4x4 scout. I will buy a junk yard engine and tranny and do not want to break my tranny if I turbo the motor. WHat is thought bout these two trannys. I think 4 speeds is enough but If the ZF is stronger which I don't think then mabe I should run one. thanks...

    How much does altitude affecte an NA IDI

    I think so too, but couldn't you run more boost at higher altitued such as 7000 feet copared to sea level to gain back the lost power? Actually I was 4 wheeling in Big bear with my cousin in his jeep and he said that his jeep ran better up there than back at his home in Palm Springs; more...

    How much does altitude affecte an NA IDI

    I mean't 15 psi of manafold pressure, the book siad that the less air density the lowere you manafold pressure is. Mabe it is valuble to get a manafold pressure gague and see how the pressure changes as I gain altitude.
