6.9 to 460 conversion
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 23-Aug-02 AT 12:12 PM (EST)]The bellhousings are the same, the 6.9/7.3 used an adpater plate on the back of the engine to make it a 460 bellhousing. The only problem with this I found out is I had a ZF tranny and even though it had the 460 pattern it was not drilled for the starter.
You might want to search some old threads, I have seen some talk on here about using a 390 flywheel.

hey there
i also want to do the 6.9 460 swap on my truck. do u think u could help me out with the knowledge you have aquired so far. i have just started researching the swap and what i will have to do but have not found to much out yet. is the zf tranny what came with the diesel (no granny gear)? i have found a 460 out of an 83 f250. do u think i can use that engine to bolt onto my tranny? only problem that 460 is an AT and mine is a manual. other question i had is hod easily does the 460 fit onto the chasis with the mounts and everything. any other info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. thanx
