I was sent here from another forum. Was told might find more helo here. I hope thats true.
I guese ill start with the basics of my swap.
Truck: 2005 f350sd. 5.4 trition. 4x4. Xl. 6spd. Crew cab shorty.
I love it. Except for the useless 5.4. I cant afford nor do i want a ps. Although they are good rigs. I had a zf6 before and loved it.
So i am doing a weird swap..... 5.4 to 7.3idi. With a zf6.
Not easy. But i love the idi. The noise. Smell. How reliable and easy to work on they are.
Putting the motor in the truck is easy. My problem lies with the trans. As mine is gas it wont just bolt to an idi.
I can try to trade my trans and t-case for one from a diesel but that takes time.
So is there a way to adapt my zf6 to fit the idi? If not then what about transfering my guts to a diesel zf6 main case? My trans is low miles. And im a broke college student.
