I may be getting a 1993 F350 4x4 from my neighbor. It was originally a 7.3 idi and auto trans truck. Now it has no engine, trans or transfer case. My dad will be taking the dana 60 front axle for his truck and I will be swapping in his dana ttb with 6 inch lift. I figured out the holes for the ttb brackets are in the cross member so I have that area covered. Now, I am building a 302 for it. I have to get the right engine mounts. It will be carbed so no electrical issues yet. I want to put a 4 speed in the truck. I got as far as bolting the bellhousing and trans on, but how am I gonna connect the transfercase? It is a 2wd 4 speed so it seems as if i can unbolt the tail shaft and bolt a transfer case up. Can I bolt on the one off the automatic that was in this truck? Now for the clutch setup, I plan on manual clutch because it is a simple setup and I do not under stand the hydraulic to much. What year manual clutch setup will bolt to this truck? Now on to the electronics. The engine will have a carb, so that's ok. But, this year truck had an electronic cluster, will I have to leave the computer in for dash controls? Or should I remove it and make my own cluster? To narrow it down, I have a 1993 F350, putting a dana 50 ttb up front, dropping a carbed 302, 4 speed trans and transfercase. And getting it all to work out good being an original diesel, automatic, electronic truck.
