So i just picked up a 2005 f350. 4dr. 4x4. Short bed. 6spd. Bare bones xl model. Only down side.....it has a 5.4 3v in it....totally gutless.

I used to have a 83 6.9 4spd. Loved it. Great mpg. Loud. Proud. And pulled anything.

So i did some research and found that the 6spd i have will bolt to a 6.9 or a 7.3 idi.

Powerstroke clutch is a bolt on aswell.

So i called around and southbend said that the only issue with this idea is that the idi pilot bearing is different then the powerstrokes. But that for $850 the will sell me a hd clutch kit modified so that it will all be a bolt in.

So i am waiting on my new 7.3 to be droped off. Then it off shoping for a turbo kit. And powerstroke mounts.

I use this as a recovery truck on the beach so having the lowend grunt will be amazing. As time goes ill be doing my best to post progress and pics.

 

Let us know how the conversion works

 

i will ty.

also what would be the best turbo kit?

ats or banks?
