Hey guys Im knew here and i got a headache from searching the forum for past couple hours. I been looking for a bread truck with the 4bt to do a swap most i see are automatics. Is there any that come with a manual trans? i wanna put a zf 5 behind it but just wanted to see what im getting into or if they were even made with manual trans Thanks Phil.
Thanks ill be searching even more now, So the ones with the ford manual transmissions are ford bread vans? or are they grummans? Im a powerstroke guy so dont know alot about the cummins yet, But its gonna be going in a 49 f-6 dump truck, I liked the 4 instead of the 6 since it will fit in nicer, It should have the power to push it right? I saw the guy on the board whos putting one in his 1947 ford dually and looks really nice just i know theses are not big power producing engines but can make some more hp with a couple mods, Is there any certain year engine i should look for?
Thanks... the 49 F6 is a perfect canidate for a 4BT...... a simple turbo mod and an intercooler and you'll be where you want to be. P-pump'd 4BT's are probably the best... but my VE pump still is stout... (hell of a lot better then a gas guzzling big block or the old flat head that sat there.
My bread truck (a Ford) came with a Borg Warner. I am planning on pulling it this weekend, if you decide to buy one (a transmission, not a truck), PM me.
I bought a Ford Step Van yesterday morning here in Memphis. It has a 4BT and a manual transmission --- I'm not going to be using the transmission, so if you want it, shoot me a PM. I've not driven the truck yet; however, it was being driven until a year ago --- they just didn't need it anymore, so they parked it.
