I have a 1990 crew cab F350 srw 7.3 IDI. Truck has a ZF5, 60kp front, new tires, and a brand new CM steel flatbed. Coming from a 97 12v dodge 5 speed and an 05 24v 6 speed, this 7.3 is a tired old dog.
I am picking up a 1990 Ram W250 parts truck this weekend. 12v VE, getrag 360, np205, d60/70 axles. Question being, what trans/tcase option would you recommend and why? Plans for truck is a work horse and crawler hauler, most likely under 12k lbs loaded up.
1) Adapter (destroked, diesel conversion, wild horse) with ZF5 and factory BW 1356 case.
2) Adapter with ZF5 and 31 spline input Drivers drop Ford np205 tcase.
3) No Adapter, run the Getrag and swap 29 spline input from dodge np205 into a drivers drop Ford np205
4) No Adapter, Getrag with a 29 spline input np241.
Would like to consider an NV4500 but they’re just so expensive, and typically need rebuilt if they’re already pulled. Plans for 12v include hx35, intercooler, gov. springs, a fuel pin, gasket kit, kdp tab, and some head port matching. Going for around 350hp/650tq and 20+ mpg.
