Trans swap

Well, I just picked up a zf5 out of a f-superduty, and now the fun begins. I was lucky as it has a SMF and new clutch. The ink stamps are still readable on the disc. It also has a pto hyd. pump. Now I have to find a use for it. I'll try to remember to take some pics of the swap. Should I try to intercool it too? I have a cooler from a '02 dodge cummins, but it is bigger than the rad. So it will take a bit of ingenuity to get it done. I'll keep you guys posted. It might be slow as Minnesota's other season starts (road construction) as the hours of work get brutal. Later...

Unless you build the motor up, I would not bother with the intercooler.
The boost is not high enough for the intercooler to help much.

Sounds good Dave, also at what psi do you think it would be worthwhile?
