Ford cummins

[revemup15]

Hey guys i bought a 96 ford for a cummins swap.... what would be the best way to attack it? Pull engine and rag out of my 89? Or buy another engine and mate it to the zf5? Whats the pros and cons for each way thanks... kyle

use the ZF

Use your engine and the zf. Sell me the Getrag and 3.07 gears. You still want to swap axles?

Its time to get this swap going.... i decides to use the zf.... has anyone had any bad experiences with ford cummins or destroked?

Destroked is BIG money, but it's well engineered stuff

Ive seen some shoty pieces come out of Ford Cummins.

Like what?

There motor mounts for one. Very rough welds and didnt fit worth a crap. We ended up making our own and sending those back. We never received the other brackets he ordered.

You gonna buy another donor truck? or??????????????????????

[revemup15]

Nope buddy has a engine he will sell to me for cheap... not money well spent to buy a donor when im using all ford components... no wonder why i use to hate sticks (gutbag) this zf5 is 100 times better

I've never driven a zf5... is it better than the nv series?
