I just measured my fathers powerstroke today at 44" from bellhousing to front of radiator. Now assuming that that is true for the IDI I will next get the length of the early Bronco engine compartment.

External dimensions of IDI and Power Strokes are about the same.

it doesnt in any way shape or form. an np205 has a cast iron case it is gear driven it can handle way more power then a 1345 ever could. The front driveshaft is chain driven on teh 1345. It also uses atf and has a pump in there and if the pump goes out your bearings dont get any oil and ur t case goes by by

you can get a adapter for a np205 for any ford tranny that bolts up to your motor. I am running a t-19 with an adapter for a np205 and i found an adapter for the z5-5 and 6 those run about 500 a peice tho. They are alot cheaper for hte t19

Wow! ZF 6 speed to Np 205...match that to custom drive shafts, dana 70, dana 60 front and your close to bulletproof. For my budget I will not go ZF anything-just T-19

The 4bt's were piles you will be better off by puting an idi in there. first off parts are a lot cheaper and redily available. And you have a site like this to come to for questions there aint that many good cummins sites. Another thing is cost. You will save a lot more money puting an idi in there. Put a turbo on the idi and you will be way happy. just my .2 cents

I can get a 6.9 for hundreds of $ or free, for $525 pump, turbo off junked diesel, $$ on repairs I can have a torque beast capible of well past 1000 ft/lbs of torque or 700-800 ft/lbs dependably ( want 400-550).


or
I could spend 2000$ + on a 4 cyl. I have found that too. the only thing I like about that motor is that it fits, diesel, inline. I would be better off with a ford 300 and 10 mpg I think.
