Re: 81 E100 IDI swap?
We already take a lot of crap for having what might otherwise be known as a "rapist van". Seriously though, we want to take it cross-country on SVO or Biodiesel, so the diesel is a must. Anyone know if a bellhousing off a manual-trans 6.9 would bolt up to the Ford tranny? Or maybe do you guys know what manual trannies Ford used behind the 6.9 in F-series? I'll check in the pickup forums too, but I know there must be some way. I managed to stuff a Ford 5.0 HO EFI V8 into my Volvo wagon, so I thought this one would be a piece of cake!
