1978 Crew Cab F250 4X4, 7.3 POWERSTROKE Conversion

Two main reasons: 1. I wanted something different than the body swap or the cummins transplant. The thought of keeping the frame, body, and all else that I could 1970's was the driving force. 2. I'm stoopid and love painting myself in a corner. if I had body swapped, kept gasoline, or even...

update I haven't died, nor did the project. Nope, instead I have done numerous things to speed along the conversion process, as well as numerous things that are delaying the conversion process (a dual edged sword if you will). Didn't help the conversion process #1 (but it did help clear my...

input Anybody have experience with SORD Sky Manufacturing cross over steering kit? Eleanor's D60 has the set up, was actually on there when I bought her with the D44. When I swapped over, I noticed the bar was pretty banged up, and now I have seemed to misplace the drop pit man arm. So, I...

update I work on Eleanor at night, after little dude goes to bed. Weather here has kept me inside the last week (too damn cold). On the plus side, I found a shop to do the wiring (locally at that). They will have an opening for me come march/april. My goal is to finish up the wiring before that...

action shots of trans cooler install (sexy, right?) Sexy stuff right here. Involves a butt plug for the rear line of the transmission (had to remove). I used a spark plug. Installed the trans cooler in front of the radiator. Not much room to get my cow milkers in there. Good thing I acquired...

Making slow progress. Took in an underling (minion?) who's headed off to diesel trade school in the fall. So he's helping/learning at the same time. Not that I'm a good teacher, just that it will definitely be something unique enough for him to enjoy learning on. Working on lining up the...

so now that Eleanor is home, and the M101 is tucked away in the garage, my intent is to take this weekend and tidy up my work space, utilize the trailer as a work bench for my wiring, and start making some progress. I ordered a Lisle 57780 Terminal Tool for Ford to assist in breaking down the...

more updates, few weekends prior to install of trans cooler... Busy weekend for sure. I found a M101 military trailer, locally, and correctly priced. Problem, I'm running out of space again and do not need to piss off the township again (or do I?) Problem solved. Sold the 1967 MGB I just...

Trans-cooler kit is ordered. I went generic route through Summit, heavy duty. Hoping to install this weekend as well as dremel my firewall hole for the portal of "modern-ish technology". Pictures to come.

OK. Thank you for the info. Down the road if I do anything such as injector upgrades, I will know to go the inter-cooler route. Right now, time to focus on getting it running again, starting with the trans cooler and lines.

Everything about the drive train is stock currently. No plans to try and make huge power, just simple things to make it reliable and usable.

Will do. Unfortunately the Donor was not inter-cooled. Is there much to do in regards to setting up the inter-cooler on my 1996 set up? Its funny you mentioned that, me and my buddy were just talking about the possibility of it needing an inter-coooler set up.
