Hello,
Im looking to swap a 6.9 IDI into my 86 F250. I have no concerns about fitment or frame strength, I can fabricate that much. But coming from a six cylinder gasoline motor, to a diesel system, Aside from the motor and attatched components, what will have to be swapped/notswapped? I.E, will the radiator work? Will the entire wiring need to be changed? Will my single, INTERSTATE MegatronII deep cycle battery work with 770 CCA?
The fuel system I can handle, with a new tank and lines, but its the running systems and such that I don't know much about.
Also, I have the 4 speed manual, granny low 4x4 trans no overdrive (I believe a variant of the SM465), will this transmission handle the IDI motors power output?
Thanks- Ratt
