Well i would be happy to to document my progress as soon as i start. I need to buy a digital camera, I plan on tearing the zf apart before i install it to make sure the bearings and internals look ok, my neighbor has done his and others before so that will help out if i get stumped. I have not yet looked into the specifics of the swap, if the flywheel off the idi engine will work on the stroker, if i need to use the spacer plate, and that kind of stuff. I got the donor truck started last nite! Wow it is bad, drivers side head is not good, has broke or stuck intake valves you can hear the compression blasting back through the intake. Exhaust manifold is cracked and it just blows raw fuel smoke and sounds like a hit and miss engine.
