You may want to check it a little more. The powerstroke and the IDI are nothing alike in regards to the engines. The flywheel probably isn't balanced for our cranks,etc. And I may be wrong on this motor, but arent the pilot bearings in the crank, not the flywheel? It definately isn't a sraight bolt on kind of job. Hopefully you know a good machine shop.

I found the thread relating to this. Oilburners.net Not a lot of info though.....
<<It is easier swap with the two wheel drive, but can be done even with a 4x4. The issues with the 6 speed are:
The 6 speed has a different input shaft (1.375 vs 1.25) and output shaft (24 spline vs 31 spline). So a custom clutch disc will need to be made. The old transfer case can not be used, so the 6 speed transfer case will need to be installed. This means loss of the speedometer drive, so you will need to modify the instrument cluster to hold a 92 speedometer.
The 6 speed clutch slave must be used, however it uses a different size pressure line so and adapter must be made up to splice idi line to the 6 speed line.
Fab a new crossmember and an adapter plate for the two upper bell housing holes which do line up.
Add an automatic transmission cooler and lines. >>

This company used to cut the input and output shafts down so we could use our trans case for speedo and install in our trk's. I dont see it on their website but at least they could tell you what is involved. Hope this helps.
