I recently acquired a 78 f250 4x4 60 front and rear 400 4spd. reg cab, I have a zf5 from a 460 and I was wondering if someone would chime in as to the conversion, what is entailed and weather or not it is worth it. I have the 5 spd and transfer case, would it be acceptable to say that the zf5 would work well with the 205 t case? I am sure drive line mods are necessary, find a hydraulic system for clutch, next concern is what flywheel and clutch are used? What crossmember mods are necessary? If we can't use a 205 t case how is the speedo hooked in? And the million dollar question; is it worth it?

 

I'm doing this to my '76, so far I have the hyd clutch in,, hope the pics help,, wasn't that big a deal,, would be a lot easier with the engine out I think
trans is still not in yet, but I'm gonna use my 205 T/case, driveline issues will be addressed when I get there
I'm trying to take lots pictures and will start a new topic when I get done
1st pic is the master cylinder mounted
2nd, is the clutch adapter lever I built using a lever from a '97 250
3rd is the backup plate, I hade a bumper from mu peterbilt that was junked,,it measures between 9 and 10 gage

 

sorry for the extra big pics, I will try to resize next time
