Looking for DT466/530 swap info
 
I am very interested in doing a DT 466 or 530 swap (along with the donor vehicles transmission) into my 99 Superduty. I have found a little information but no "how to" sites or detailed information.
The information I am interested in is motor/transmission mount fab-ing as well as other swap related information.
The engine I am interested in is the non-electronic engine and Allison transmission.
If anyone has information on this swap I would very much appriciate it.
Thank you.

i dont think your gonna find much of a "kit" for this swap, i think its gonna be alot of trial and error and fab skills and research on your part...but good luck to ya:c:

Thank you guys, I am not really looking for a "kit", just swap information from people who have done it.
Thanks again for responding and for your input.

Thank you for all your input guys, it looks like I am just going to have to do a lot of measuring, cutting, and trial and error to get this accomplished.
Thanks again for all your input.

Yes, I will.

Sounds like a cool swap idea. You will have to cut the firewall a lot to get everything behind the radiator suppport.

it takes ALOT of work.......hope you plan on having alot of down time on your truck.......you better plan on getting you an allison 3000 series tranny and possibly a big floater t-case if you cant find a driverside drop mated one.........

After thinking about this I think a better swap would be a dt360 engine.
