Trying to get my $1100 order placed with clay and wondering if anyone recalls the IC boot size (i think on the 99+ its 3.25 to 3 from ic to ic pipe)...

Anyone know off hand or do i HAVE to go measure it, i drive a 2000 F250....tried searching

 

I cant remember what they are. Give clay a call, he will be able to tell you.

 

They vary. Its best to go measure it

 

Both of mine were 3.25", but I wouldn't bet against yours being different. I just looked at mine and it was pretty obvious both stock boots reduced down.

 

clay said measure it hmm ill just measure it and place my order in the morning, dang this is painful. Good news, hopefully have my motor paid for and delivery planned tonight, full order from clay, ordered my engine stand (2000 pounder from northern tool, once i ordered they decided to add it was on back order, think a 1500 capacity would hold up?

Now all thats left to do is get the good 7.3 down here (pulling it up with one of the farm trucks and trailers on nov12th) get mine up there and pull the motor.....easy day huh? I hope god is on my side on this one guys, ill have about 25 days to do the swap (did a 6.0 out rebuilt back in and running in a weekend so im confident 25 days is enough haha), and get some minor details worked out with jim @ rosewood!

Oh and the motor is going to be IH red with black IC pipes and red boots! Really wanted to do orange but CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME find any old IH orange high temp paint to do the block with (wink wink)

 

You are best off to measure. I know I didn't when I first ordered them years ago and one was the wrong size. From what I remember Clay said the Riffraff doesn't make universal ones like other companies, but make them for the application so you are sure you are getting a quality part.

 

Wow my luck sucks, called northern tool and they said the engine stand i ordered is on back order until december, any suggestions (needs to be shippable- the 2,000lb stand from harbor freight is in store pickup only and i have no way to make that happen

Oh and motor is sealed should have it this weekend barring his work lets up and he gets friday off....the guy im dealing with has been awesome, was referred to him by one from FTE

 

Jegs has a 2000lb stand for $114 on their site and ships on 10/24 hope it will help.

 

Im sure summit has an engine stand also and ready to ship. Pick which one is closer to you.

 

dang forgot about summit and jegs.....bah my mind is going a million miles an hour with work and this project getting closer!

 

back in business got a stand from summit (8 dollars shipping hahaha i only live an hour away ) went ahead and threw in some grade 8 mounting bolts for cheaper than the local hardware!

Now if only the awesome folks of FTE could find some nice international orange high temp in a rattle can hmmmmmmmmmmmm
