ZF-5

[Chubbs090]

Ok up here at wyotech you start thinkin crazy. I have a chance to get my hand on a turboed 3208 Cat. How would i mate this up to the ZF-5?

can they handle the torque?

You will need to find an SAE adaptor for the block that has a Ford transmission bolt pattern. Not sure on the sizes or if one even exists for a 3208 to ford.
Find out what size the engine is and go from there.

They used them in bigger Ford trucks, so maybe there is a plate available to adapt from them. I know they didn't use a ZF5, but the bolt pattern may be the same.

is that engine a engine thats been on a stand for 30years and has been finger f^@ked by every student taking the diesel program if so i would steer clear from something like that

A mental image of a zf-5 being turned into a pretzel comes to mind....

that would be way awsome.
I'd spend the time building an intake manifold for it in order for it to fit.

I would say go for it .

You have to remember its a 10.4 liter engine.....even with an overdrive I doubt you could get double digits for fuel economy. It could pull a house, but fuel economy will way suffer.
