Engine Swap

Post by Blackwaterforge »

Engine swap is coming along.
I have engine and transmission mounted.
Radiator and intercooler are mounted.
I have added return to fuel tank.
I have added power steering sector.
Still have to build cobra head for exhaust.
I still have to run fuel and return from tank to engine.
Still have to rewire battery, alternator, starter.
Still have to mount auxiliary transmission, shift lever and drive shafts.
If it cain't be fixed with a sledge hammer it must be an electrical problem!

Keep plugging away. :thumright:
Looks like that BT4 has much more room than my BT6.
The Allison that came with mine took up lots of space.

I wonder which type of rear mounts did you use at the bell housing?
I reused the 1994 F700 mounting that came with my motor transmission combo.
61 F250 Unibody
5.9 Ford Diesel / Allison
Disk brake straight axle
