Am I crazy or no?

I have a 1991 f250 4x4 rclb just sitting around waiting for a project it originally came with the 4.9l and the SBF ZF5. I've always wanted an idi because of its simplicity. This is kind of a budget build and was wonder what you think it would cost me to do this. Probably rebuild, core support, mounts, cab, front clip, bed? Or just put the 4.9 back in it?

Probably 700-1500 to buy a donor truck, swap motor and trans straight across and sell it. Then you have everything and it will all bolt in. Hopefully it will cost nothing but a lot of work.

Unless that 91 is awful special somehow (museum condition etc.,) just put the 4.9 back, sell it and buy what you want.

The rebuild is what will get you master rebuild kit is like 800 then a gasket set and head studs or bolts on a budget studs from r and d are the best price for them and rock auto has the best price on bolts in hectors are around $35 each and stock ip is about $550
