98,000 original miles on the engine on the van?

Been looking around youtube as I'm curious if propane would help emmisions diesel engines avoid regen or maybe reduce EGT when towing.

IDK why....But..."Give Me Fuel, Give Me Fire, Give Me That Which I Desire!" ... Came To My Mind!

Really helpful video answered a lot of questions I have. I have all the parts looking to start my swap this week.

I think this is an excellent mod that actually came from the manufacturer of the engine 👍🏼 But somehow didn’t make it to the Ford pickup truck line. I’m going order and install for my 97, however I will attempt to reverse the valve covers to gain a better fit. Curious if you attempted a valve cover swap? Excellent video thanks for making it!!

Do you always have to have a blowtorch and heavy tools for removing shackles and shackle bolts? I just don't have all the tools a shop does.

How do you tell if the shackle is reparable compared to must be replaced?

My horn operates but my cruise control does not. I made sure that the vacuum system works and all fuses were fine. I see you mentioned the horn and cruise control operation at one point in the video where you showed the three contacts. I am thinking this may be the culprit. Hopefully just remove and clean contact points. I am unsure if the buttons could be worn as well?

What do you think is a fair price for this body style of Van with a 6.9 idi with around 100k miles in good shape all original? Prices are crazy these days! Thanks

I've got an 89 e350 ex mac tools truck. You got me wanting to out my 06 24v in there. The van is setup with a 460 on propane too. 4x4.... hell yeah.

Really loving this build.

This kit is now discontinued, got damn it

My bronco ii has 43k miles

How much for the ii

Narrower then 102"?

So how much are the filter elements? Thanks for the follow up.

So you loosened it up and the bolt broke? I don't understand what you're saying 😕

What length did you have to cut the front shaft down to?

What did you do with the speedometer cable? I’m wanting to install a 12v Cummins with a ZF6 into a 1987 model 1 ton

Brother, Awesome Build and excellent explaining of everything. I Love this build! Got questions on Gear Vender overdrive since you mounted the back side of transfer case doesn't it only works when it's in two drive? You said something around 400 to 450 hp what would be the torque 600 to 800? Last question what is the total length from the front of fan to the center yoke of the gear vender? Thanks for making this video!

Really cool truck. I have an 86' dump ( 350 size) but I don't have the time to work on it. Gas tank isn't giving fuel....brake line gave out....but But it sits on a big concrete slab so it probably isn't getting much worse......probably....

I really like the idea of making a rolling table out of the leftovers. I've seen where people will make a desk under a pallet rack. Your idea is a really good one. tHanks for the video

@GillansGarage Hey there! I've seen your work and it's quite impressive! In fact you were one of the main reasons why I decided to pick up a 1981 Econoline E150 with a 3+OD (I guess, four speed). I do not like that transmission at all. I'd love to do a 5MODR2 swap. I feel that I'm at a crossroads right now because the floor panels in the cab (front front and front rear) need to be replaced due to the huge amount of pitting, holes, and in addition the metal that was broken out when one of the dog house bolts was ugga'dugga'd to hell and tore the metal off the floor (to get the bolt and nut out, I still have the bolt, nut, and piece of floor in between..) Anyway, I was wondering if now would be the time to do the swap? I'm not sure the shifter will sit in the same place as the "old" transmission and rather than cut my new floorboards multiple times (if I were to do the swap later) sounds unappealing. Would you be interested in talking through this a bit with me? A DM, response, or anything of the sort would be wonderful however I do understand you are a busy man, with that said your experience in this particular swap is really appealing. I picked a manual econoline so I would have the foot pedals and have a decent amount of the manual transmission parts, but at this point I'm unsure what I need to buy or where to even begin. Anyway, thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you. All the best, may you be happy, healthy and prosperous! (I work 3rd shift, hence the almost 3AM comment time..CT)

Hey, I’m going to swap my zf5 on my 95 to zf6. I have a couple questions if anyone could answer I’d appreciate it. Does the crossmember have to be e99 zf6 or do all NBS crossmembers work?(the trans I’m putting in is a 2003)Is it the same clutch from zf5? (I have solid flywheel conversion kit) How much lower were your RPMs on the highway? A lot of people that haven’t done this have told me it’s not worth the swap and that I’ll have to smash the cab with a hammer to get it to fit. I already have the trans tho so really no turning back. Also my zf5 is garbage anyway due to previous owner not installing pilot bearing when doing the solid flywheel conversion.

Gorgeous car. I always liked the coral and white sand color combination.

Ran into a similar issue after just getting a body swap done on a 1988 gen 3 body to a 4x4 gen 4 frame. As you mentioned it's easy to find the top rubber portion of the body mounts but I couldn't find the metal nor the bottom rubber. I ended up finding a polyurethane mounts for 2008-2016 F250s and 350s. It had the metal hardware that worked, I cut down the top poly mount to match the thickness of the stock rubber bottom mounts I took off the van, and used them with the new top rubber mounts meant for the vans. I'm just working through engine issues now.

I was going to use pallet rack to build a body cart for my 1955 Chevy but ended up finding a heavy duty, 13’ long (workbench height) welding fixture (?) that was permanently welded together. I cut it apart and added mounting plates so now it bolts together, but more importantly, comes apart so I can store it. I paid $50 for the original welding fixture which had $200 worth of casters.

Premium eco boost

Dual CCV mod per Custom Works is the best way.

Take all the rear seats out

Too bad these are discontinued. Would order one myself as my stock CCV is trash

I want one of those

Hey man! Thanks for the update! Could I snag the part numbers for the steed speed exhaust manifold and those CAT engine mount bushings?

this swap for diesels only?

Just came across this video and very cool project! I would go with the newer style mounts. Ford likely went with those because the older style mounts likely didn't hold up well or it is more economical to mold a solid mount vs a "vented" mount. You are doing all this work, you might as well use new mounts.

Great video! Love your van build!

Also the first year for the new ball joint front suspension. My favorite year old Ford, either a Victoria or Skyliner, but I think the '54 is better than the '52-'53, and they make a nice mild custom also, in the factory color Cadet Blue! 🧏‍♂️

Extremely help, thanks.

don't understand your explanation

I don't understand why that heavy camper on the back of Ole red would work? Really how's that now?

what propane setup do you have?

I love working for ford when that happened. Love the bronco

Thank you sir

Love watching this video I have a96 7.3 I’m going to do this to mine sending u a thanks from Philadelphia 👍🏼

Im doing this tank swap now in my 78 econoline. Im removing the rivets on the rear cross member and sliding it back to make it fit. Wish me luck

Hi just picked up a truck with gear vendor under/ overdrive how do you use 4 x 4 when you change your rear end ratio

Rubber hose all you need. Just more shit in the engine bay you don't need

Hey I got a question I’m doing a manual swap from an automatic To a zf6 and I need to figure out what I need to do for a wiring harness for the zf6 so I can get my engine to start and to get Cruise control to work

Too much fluff, and you should have shown how you got the wheel loose.
