Ok. Looking at a 1976 F-100 4x4, with the 390 BB and 4 speed. Not much comes up on this truck when googled, but what does suggests it has many major similarities to the F-250's of this era. So how close to a 3/4 ton is it? Could it handle a 8' plow? Towing capacity?
Have a 1990 F-250, 300 straight six (Don't run), ZF-5 speed, all the wiring and clutch stuff. Be a good trans for a swap, EFI motor may run. Want it gone. $450 best offer. 207-754-3751
My springs are toast anyways. The guy I got the truck from was one of those damned idiots who parks with the plow up! That killed them. I can get a set of 350 springs for $150, but was wondering if I will need a drop bracket since they will lift it a bit....Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
I have a 1986 F-250 6.9. I wanna get a little more height (Nothing huge until the SAS swap) but nonetheless want a few more inches. I have the Dana 50 TTB and was planning on replacing the leaf spring packs with some from a 1-ton. Will I have to make a new center drop bracket? Hoping to clear...
Well I have a 86' F-250 diesel. I will be doing a Dana 60 front end swap in a few months, and need a lift to clear my new tires. I bought (1) leaf spring from a neighbor, for $10.....Now I need 3 more! It is a 3" wide spring, that measures 9" from the floor to where the pin is....I need 3 more...
Just looked at the tranny and it is DEFINITELY A ZF5! Has the PTO port and everything.....the "D" is in a full white bubble, not just circled. My bad!Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Doesn't matter if it's a ZF, Borg, Etc. The Mazda tranny (Weak one for the 8th gen rigs) was never used in 250's. Far as I know it's a ZF-5. Considering the bellhousing is part of the tranny, that leads me to believe it's not the Borg-Warner.Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Found a cheap 460, and want to swap it in place of the 300 straight six my truck has now. My truck is a 1990, and has the 4 speed stick w/overdrive, which I really want to keep. It is the tranny with the bellhousing cast into it. Would this be a direct bolt-up? Truck will be a designated...
Change in priorities. Just finished paying off the truck! I officially own a Ford! Think before I do the motor swap, i'm gonna do a Dana 60 front end and a lift, get some new rims to fit my 37" Irok's on there and piddle on it until I find the right motor....Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Not worried about it. Wiring isn't that difficult. Like I said before, motor mounts will all be custom. There are no PSD parts trucks in my area, that's why i'm repowering the F-250.Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
I already own the 4.9. Swap won't be hard as I am rebuilding the frame with new crossmembers and mounts, and I will get a wiring harness with the motor. Hard to find the right tranny aeound here.Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Oh and if it helps you guys, the shifter for the transfer case is down on the floor, to the left of the shifter. Also it is the "Custom" edition.Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Yep. Manual all the way....every day! Want to keep it with the manual. Trans. Just to recap, it is a 1989 F-250 with a 300 straight six and 4 speed with overdrive. Swapping in a 7.3 Powerstroke from a 1995 F-350.Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
No push button as I recall though? The T-Case is manual also if that helps. These obs Ford's are new to me. Used to tractors and JeepsSent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Ok I think it's got a circle around it, therefore overdrive. How much of a pain in the behind will it be to mate the 7.3 to this tranny?Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
In the process of buying a 1989 F-250 which currently has the 300 "I" 6 EFI gasser. Found a cheap 7.3 turbo diesel from a 1995 F-350. The F-250 has a 4 speed trans with "D" (Overdrive/5th?). With this trans behind the 7.3 (Will be eventually built to 100's more hp!) Will it still have a good...
