Bronco 351 to Powerstroke Conversion

[BroncoDiesel92]

Hello,

I am getting ready to do a conversion on my 1992 Ford Bronco from a

351W to a Powerstroke. I was wondering if anyone had attempted or conpleted the conversion?

I have a few questions to ask!!!

Talk to you soon!!

i was thinkin bout doin that one day...if you do it and it works tell me how you did cuz that is gonna be cool...well i do have some advise use the 7.3 the 6.0 and all others are not that good the 7.3 wasnt very emissions friendly so ford had to come out with the 6.0 and yea...

I have a Bronco and an F250 with a 7.3 powerstroke. I don't know how a diesel would do in a bronco, but I'm sure its gonna be some work.

 

[BroncoDiesel92]

I can't see it being too difficult because there were 1996 F-250's with this setup, I think should take

only a few modifications. I have the HD towing package already so that should help with the weight

of the Powerstroke. Does anyone know if the tranny and transfer case will match up? I will be taking pictures throughout the entire process.

Thanks,

im not 100% sure but i think youll have to put a new tranny in if im thinkin right gas and diesels use different trannys

 

[firelt90bronco]

I think my 250 has an E40D tranny. Do you have a powerstroke already?

 

[Captain p4]

diesel trannys are geared differently i believe.

I think maybe a cummins diesle would be a lot easier to swap..

Sounds like an awesome project! Keep us updated!!

How many cubic inches is the 7.3 powerstroke?

 

[beefy85]

they are roughly 445 cubic inches

61.02545 X 7.3 = 445.48

A 96 F250 power stroke will have all the peices you need for the conversion . As for the tranny the diesel has a special bolt pattern so you will have to get a new tranny . T case will be fine . But a 96 F250 is the key /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[firelt90bronco]

a 7.3l is a 444 I believe.

I have already paid for the 7.3L Powerstroke, I got a 1996 Complete Front Clip delivered to my door for $1800. As for the tranny I am going to have to look in into that, I am unsure of the tranny currently in the my truck, I have a setup I am looking at that came out of a 1995 F-250 (E40D and transfer case) rebuilt 2000 miles ago for $800, any thoughts on the deal? I am really excited to get this ball rolling and get this started!!

Thanks,

Any suggestions on which tranny?

C6 or E4OD???? Can anyone explain the difference?

Thanks,

 

[BLADE262US]

Hello you dont have many options for a tranny with a 7.3 whatever they came with you can use but there a bolt pattern all there own . A C6 will not mate to it in small block or big block pattern . You will almost have to use an E4OD which for the diesels are built stronger inside but the E4OD you get must be from a deisel because one that was mated to a 5.8 will not fit the shape of the bellhousing is different along with the bolt pattern ., Must be from a deisel . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[BroncoDiesel92]

Than a E4OD it is!!!! Anyone have one for sale???

 

[firelt90bronco]

Where did you get the powerstroke? Do you still have the truck?

 

[BroncoDiesel92]

I got the Powerstroke on Ebay. I bought almost the entire front clip. this is pretty much the deal I have been searching for the last 6 months. It is coming out of a 96 E-350 with 115,000 miles on it. My friend of my owns a Diesel repair shop so I wanted to take it to him for inspection and possible rebuild if needed and a good enough price. I am going to pay a visit to the installer today!!! I am still in search of the tranny to match but time is what I have.

 

[firelt90bronco]

Damn, I need a steering wheel for an F250. There is a chunk missing from the side.
