cross member will be custom built. fab up situation because i boxed my frame in. Wanted to tighten up the frame for this application. made several changes/upgrades for this application. almost done blasting my cab today but ran out of sand. will be done by next weekend. engine is almost done also. waiting on oil pan be here on tue. holidays suck. catch you later.

zf-42 tranny 5 speed 400 ford. 2 different output shafts. the big block which bolts up to the 400 is nice. but its not a bolt up situation!! the pilot bearing needs to be lengthen. instead of typical 1/2" thick you need to double the length 1" so it extends out of the crankshft for support to tranny shaft. next issue is throwout bearing is riding more forward and might have to shim the flywheel out. 460 ford crankshaft is thicker and about 5/8"or less and it takes up the space and keep the throw out bearing in the proper position on tranny. I haven't got all this perfected yet but its happening. extend pilot bushing, throwout bearing position and setting up your clutch are the 3 main issues. use your brain a little but it can be done. going in a 1970 ford crewcab, everything is being altered so its no big deal to me. hope this helps and will have some photos soon. 307 763 2716 robert. keeping old iron alive one ford at a time. Hoping to get around 16mpg with this setup maybe more.

You're welcome , & thanks for the rep ..

Hey i saw your thing said you have an np435 and a np203... did they just bolt right up to each other or did you have to modify anything?

Says your in IL with a 78 F250 I got a 74 F250 crew how much did u have to do to yours? Still working on mine should have it ready by this spring longer project than I thought. What is your email address an I will send you pics of it. Do you need the whole dash?

the big long black piece under the dash right above the floor? Is that the only 2 pieces you need? I am going to sell the whole dash. I am in Charleston WV.
