I bought my 93 w350 with the purpose doing a swap. I went with a 99 sd f250 4x4 v10 that I bought for pennies, $2500. My 93 had a fairly new getrag, so I decided to use it for the time being to save $. Did some research and found out dodge (03 and up 2500 & 3500) uses the same 271/273 t case as the superduty, so I bought a 29 spline input gear from allstate gear in San Antonio TX for $162 and it was a perfect fit! The getrag bolts right up, no mods at all, even the castings match up. I mounted the tranny and tcase couple night ago and mocked the engine to figure out the mounts. Unfortunatly my 3yr old boy hid the camera but I did find it and have picks of the tranny crossmember mod and I'll pic the engine mount setup. I'll put a price list together when I get done, but right now it looks like I'm at about $4200, and thats buying both trucks, and selling old parts. I'll be posting picks and desciptions when I get a little closer to being done. The one thing I wanted pics of for everyone was the tcase gear install, but it was quite simple, not much in there.

 

Sounds great - just what I want to do but not sure I can pull it off.

 

It's not too bad, just very time consuming. I drive truck so I have been working on it for about 2 months. If you have a hoist, some basic garage tools, and have ever pulled a motor you can do it. I have access to a welder and plasma cutter at work so that's been a big help

 

Got her started tonight. Fired right up, then died. I bled the fuel, started right up and idled for about 1 min then ran out of fuel again and won't fire now. I keep bleeding and I get air every time I turn out the bleed screw. I put on a new pump and filter and I can hear the fuel going through the system when I'm done cranking. I think the bleed screw is stripped now but it doesn't bubble when it's closed and I prime the pump. I would think it should at least stumble a little bit when I crank it over, but nothing. The fuel shutoff is working also. Any ideas would be very helpfull. By the way, I ran 1/4'' rubber fuel lines and made my own pickup and the pump pulls lots of fuel when primed, could the pump still be bad?

 

I think for 1 thing you're gonna need bigger than 1/4 inch line. Stock line on a 12 valve is 3/8. Sounds like you're sucking air in 1 of the fittings also.

 

Thanks, I do have 3/8 on the feed side, forgot to mention that. I'm hoping it's the low pressure bleeder on the banjo bolt. I used two hose clamps on every fitting to try and aviod air. I'll try the banjo bolt first then move to the tank, thanks for the quick rep tiremann

Found the prob, pump housing is cracked at the inlet, my fault. The pump inlet turned out to be 12mm x 1.5 and the 93 quick connect fitting is 3/8 pipe (oops!!) Goin with electric pump, anybody find a 12mm x 1.5 barbed fitting to replace the banjo or is there another trick I'm missing

 

vulcanperformance.com has all the fittings youll need.

 

Thanks Dr Evil, I cut the pump to filter line and put on a 5/16 comp fitting with a 1/8 pipe thread and used a brass barb fitting

 

Put on a 9psi elect, still no start. I bled the intake line, checked the return, all had fuel, no air. As soon as I cracked the no 1 injector in fired right up, thank god. Runs like a champ!

 

Good to hear,,,,
