ZF 5spd To FE: Pictures Of My FE And ZF
Posted: February 1, 2014, 12:16 am
I have one from a 94 IDI for sale but would put it in truck if I could. Thought of maybe taking the plate off back of a 7.3 and looking at mating it to FE. Other than getting true center the problem would be the piolate bearing and input shaft length.
EDIT: Just did a rough match with my parts. Plan was to make a plate to line up two of the holes and mock it up in the 1/2 ton. Many issues including gross starter misalignment made me decide not to bother. Maybe one of the fabers in the group could make something out of this. What interested me was the DNEII input shaft gear from a C6 fits the output shaft on the ZF. Two benefits to this with the right gearing. You can build an engine that is happy at lower rpms at freeway speeds with all the low gear towing low gear you'll need. The DNEII uses a speedo cable allowing for stock speedo.
