Exciting Unboxing and Current Cost Breakdown!!!
98,000 original miles on the engine on the van?
That is correct. It has more on it now of course.
Been looking around youtube as I'm curious if propane would help emmisions diesel engines avoid regen or maybe reduce EGT when towing.
That’s an interesting idea!!! As the idea of propane is to aid with a more complete burn supposedly it might make a difference. 🤷♂️🤷♂️. I guess my only concern would be the high cost of a failure on one of those new engines.
@GillansGarage 2.8L duramax can get a bit hot when towing heavy loads on long Pennsylvania hills. I don't need more power, necessarily. I found a guy testing EGT and he noticed running less throttle higher rpms in a lower gear helps alot. I want to be able to floor it and know it'll be fine without worrying about gaudges.
Water methanol may be more in line for lowering EGT’s while 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.
@@wesleevanslyke4326 Glad to help!!
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?
@@jayb460_ Sounds like you’re on the right track. Good luck!!
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 just paid 3500 for a non running but very clean e350 1991. Just needed glow plugs
@Clones2011 Nice!!!
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.
Thank you!! I need to get back on it. I have the driveshafts done now so I’m closer to getting the body back on.
This kit is now discontinued, got damn it

@@GillansGarage nah I’m joking with you have a good day bro that become is clean I’m jealous
Narrower then 102"?
@@dougpeirce726 Might have been outlawing a little. Haha
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?
Unfortunately I don’t recall the exact dimension. Because I was going from a 2wd ZF5 to a 4x4 ZF6 with NP271, there were so many changes it was hard to keep track.
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
Being that this is 1997 it has the speed sensor in the rear axle it was a non-issue. For your swap it’s more complicated. Might I suggest a GPS speedometer. I’m sorry I’m not more helpful. Ever since we ZF5 swapped the ‘87 Econoline 6.9 turbo diesel we just use an old Garmin GPS for a speedometer. Haha.
@@GillansGarage do you know if the old school t-case will bolt to a ZF6? The speedometer cable goes to the tail housing of the t-case on 4x4 trucks. That might make it work.
@Alien.Dog_ Not without modifying the input shaft on the old T-case. The shaft diameter and spine count are different.
@@GillansGarageso I actually figured out that one way you could do it, if you want to keep the 7.3 IDI or PSD, is to get a 2wd ZF6, and run a divorced mount NP205 with a short shaft to connect the two. The 205 has the speedometer sender for the cable, so everything works like stock. Just need a longer cable. For me, since I’m doing a 12v Cummins swap, I’ll be running an NV5600 transmission. So what I would do is use a direct mount 205 with a Torque King 29 spline input shaft and adapter kit. Then the 205 bolts right to the NV5600, and the speedometer can connect to the 205, and everyone is happy :)
I found an even better solution: Advance Adapters makes a kit to connect an NV4500 to a Ford NP205. This same kit will work to connect a G56 diesel tranny to the original BW1356 t-case. Now I don’t need to track down another gearbox and rebuild it :)
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!
Thank you!! Yes the Gear Vendor can only be used in 2wd. I thinking the torque will be around 1000ftlbs. I’ll have to measure that and back to you. Thanks again!! I need to get back on it!!
@@GillansGarage Thank you for responding back to me it means a lot! Those measurements would help me. Yeah keep Building Brother we are watching! I'm going to be posting your videos on Facebook Van Builds groups. Best Regards!
@@chadliggett7988 Thanks!! I’ll head over to FB and check it out.
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
Thank you!!
@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.
I would assume any 7.3 ZF6 crossmember will work with the small modification I mentioned. I used the ZF6 clutch which if I recall correctly it’s bigger than the ZF5 clutch. Based on the math it will lower your top end rpm’s by about 120 rpm’s but that’s only half the story. The better low gear and the shift pattern with low and reverse across from each other is a big benefit for me especially whenever pulling a load and maneuvering it. The only minor tweak I had to make was at the back of the opening in floor and leave one screw out in the center of that cover. Very minor considering the benefits for me. I’ve got about 40k miles on my swap and I have zero regrets.
@@GillansGaragewhat master cylinder did you use? I heard the zf6 slave is a different bore than zf5 master cylinder so it makes the clutch release high if you use the stock obs master. Did you have any problems like that or were you able to put a zf6 master in?
@@helamanarrigo1249 I used the ZF5 master cylinder and have zero issues in over 40k miles.
Gorgeous car. I always liked the coral and white sand color combination.
Thank you!!
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.
Very cool!
Premium eco boost
Dual CCV mod per Custom Works is the best way.
If I know find another one i’d consider that.
Take all the rear seats out
Too bad these are discontinued. Would order one myself as my stock CCV is trash
The best place to check for one would be an old school bus junkyard, if that helps at all.

this swap for diesels only?
Yes, I don’t think this will work with a 460 without an adapter of some kind.
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.
Thanks for the input!! I’ve been waiting to bid all new bushings until I’m closer to setting the back on. I’ll be buying the solid mounts. Thanks again!!
Great video! Love your van build!
Thanks!!!
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.

Good luck!! It’s worth the time!!!
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
This is only to be used when not using four-wheel-drive. There are safety lockouts to ensure that the gear vendor is not turned on when four-wheel-drive is engaged.
Rubber hose all you need. Just more shit in the engine bay you don't need

Too much fluff, and you should have shown how you got the wheel loose.
Thanks for the feedback, I mentioned wiggling it back and forth which mine wasn’t that tight apparently. However tightness might be different on different trucks. I get what you’re saying about fluff, it’s a fine line between being informative and just talking to much. Thanks again for the comment.
