will post progress as it unfolds

 

sounds like yur of to a good start. I used the old getrag on mine and got a 29 spline gear for the s/d t-case and she bolted right up. Not sure about the nv4500, but with the getrag I was able to use the dodge slave cyl. and the ford master cyl. and it works great. When you get the clutch/brake pedel assembly, I would put new bushings in the clutch pedel shaft (the free play from my worn bushings gave me a headache!). Also, there's some simple wiring to splice in the tranny harness to let the 4low work and the start safety overide. There should already be the clutch pedel wiring under the dash. I think I posted on here somewhere the wires you need to cross, can't remember for sure. Good luck, yur gonna like it!

 

I can't wait to convert

 

My 99 super duty conversion is real similar, but I started out with a 5spd cab! The center hump is about 2-3 inches higher that the cabs with an auto tranny! I bought my engine mounts from Auto world in Mt (NOT FORD CUMMINS ) !

I rebuilt a NV4500 and replace my input spline on my Ford 271 T case with a 29 spline to bolt up to my NV! The bad or not too bad part is the Ford 271's are clocked a couple of degrees down when hooked up to a NV ! If I had a Dodge 271 my T Case would be a better, but it only lowered it about an inch and a half from stock! Like I said no big deal.

I used my V10 radiator and an intercooler from a 2006 Super Duty and all works great and bolts up! I did use a 2004 CR Exhaust manfold that is set back and lower so everthing is tucked in fine !


Thanks for lettin me hijack your thread for a minute or two.
Keep up the good work and enjoy your ride.

 

I have the engine in the front to back is great and the up and down is great but the sided to side is off just a little about 1"- 1 1/4" this is where it likes to sit will this bother me being off this much if I raise the engine up then it sits at an angle or I have to cut out the tunnel

 

It should be over to the Drivers side about an Inch and a half so all is well!

Like I said if you Super Duty came with an AutoMatic tranny then you center hump is about 2 inches lower than that of a Standard transmission configuration. If you use a ZF6 spd then you may have to do some floor work to raise the center console. The ZF 6spds are an inch or too taller than the NV5600 s

 

unless I have major issues with the transfer cans and drive line it will stay where it is at

Lookin good.

 

well the transfer case is in no major issues it does take up more room than I thought it would. I need to lower the rear cross-member 1 1/2 lower should not be much of an issue all the drive lines are hooked up the front I didn't have to do anything the rear had it shortened 2.5" and put on the dodge slip yolk


posted a couple of pics in my photobucket
