Swap questions
Hello all
So tossing around several ideas for my truck along with being a fan of old school tech I like the idea of a carb 460 c6 divorced 205 swaped into my 96 f250 460 SD efi/ e4od. I know it is going back in time but for simplicity, cost and tuning sake that is what I have come up with. The question is has anyone else done this swap. If so what was needed. I know three custom shafts crossmembers for trans and transfer case, fuel regulator, new distributor, linkages. I am assuming much more.
Also is thare any cheaper options (different transmissions)
Any help/ advice would be GREATLY appreciated
Thank you in advance

What is wrong with the powertrain now? What upgrade plans do you have that would require tuning beyond what the stock EFI system can handle?

The power train is tired at 1/4 a million miles
I’m looking to make 400 hp and 500 ft lbs which from what I read is to much for a stock e4od. A c6 , in its simple form is cheaper to make it handle that power. I always liked the package (460 carb, c6 205) and wanted to build something different
The carb just comes from personal preference

Yes I have no doubt that thare are options that can handle that power but once again it’s a trans that I always preferred over the electric shift along with the head ache of trying to make it work with a carb swap and all done on a relative budget

I think it would be a pretty easy swap EXCEPT for your xfer case choice. I would go with the BW1356 you already have which is used F150-350 so it's tough enough, and much easier and cheaper since you won't have to remake your xfer case shift linkage and mounting.
