ZF6 main case Question.
I've got a 02 f-250 4x4 with a 5.4L with a 6 speed. I Love the truck but planning on doing a diesel swap. I need a diesel bellhousing and I know the modular pattern won't work. My question is, if I bye a main front case or find a salvaged one for a 7.3L S6-650 or the 6.0L S6-750. Can I simply swap the modular 5.4L front case to a Diesel front case. I know I need to change the input shafts also, but as far as I've researched the internal are pretty much the same including the output shaft for the T-case. If I can I would rather go this route than bye a whole new transmission for two grand or take the chance on a used one. When mine shifts and works great. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm starting to lean in the direction of getting a new one. But they are about two grand, and since my transmission is used and less desirable. I dont think get more than $1200 for it. I found a case and input shaft for a 7.3 for $200 that the oil cooler line rusted threw and cooked it. Getting a new one would be ALOT easier but my budget is making me explore all my options.

The 6.0L powerstroke? I've read that the trition v8/v10 have a stand alone pattern. Destroked said that a Cummins flywheel/clutch wouldn't fit in these transmissions, but they would fit in the 7.3L or 6.0L. My transmission only has a 1 1/16" input shaft, wheir the Diesels have a 1 3/8". Im not planning on running a Cummins but the engine im planning on putting in should be around 900 ft lb of torque. Which I know would explode the 1 1/16" shaft.
