I am curious about how much one costs $$ ? 5 speed 12 valve p-pump ?

 

You could probably pick one up somewhere between $1k-2k for the engine. If you can find a wrecked truck, that would be the ticket. Rob the whole drivetrain and sell whatever is left.

 

lol I have the nv4500 sitting here right now and my bell housing is being delivered to more by UPS the scumm of the delivery world ... just found out they are screwing me for brokerage service going to rasie some Sh^&T over this one 80 to ship it and now 80 to pay brokerage friggin scam
cough cough anyways

 

why do you want to put a p-pump engine in if you just bought the kit for putting thr nv4500 ? or is it like me because you want more power ?

 

Just planning for the future. plus i am looking for a highboy 1977 to 1979 ford 4x4 the old ve would be a nice fit for that to

 

yes that would be cool

 

Won't find a highboy after 77.5, the were all lowboys. Need a 73-77 for a highboy.

 

shoot really I thought they made them in the US till 79 well dang it then how about a 1970 c 10

 

The only difference is the spring packs, since the highboys had a 'factory lift'. Personally, I think the 77.5-79 is the better truck anyhow. Married NP205 or 203 instead of divorced, hi pinion open knuckle front diff, internal lock out hubs instead of the external kind. The 77.5 still has the signal lights above the headlights like from 73-77.

 

Well i have an extra NP 205 lol guess that's a start , Wasn't the frame a bit beefier in the highboy ? And didn't it come in a Reg cab 1 ton

 

The earlier trucks had narrower frames in the rear than the newer trucks. 79 was the only year for a 4x4 F350. You could get the D60 in the F250 with the SnoFighter package, or just the higher GVWR. I know a lot of them were reg cabs, but I think you could still get them in the Supercab and crew cabs as well.

 

You guys see the truck build that trucks on spike TV is building. An 78-79 ish ford crew cab, short bed. They are putting it on a 97-98 12 cummins frame, using a 12v engine and five speed. They are going to do the 5 speed fifth gear fix and do some pump adjustments. A nice looking truck, I think that they are going to put the dodge dash/gauges into the ford. I've been following along, as I have always wanted to build an early 1/2ton chevy truck C10 short bed onto a dodge frame and 12v cummins.

 

that to would be another choice Years back i got a GMC 4x4 shorty step side with the old diesel in it weird part was my buddy ordered it from GMC with the diesel. man i wish i could find that now the suspension would handle the cummins no prob

 

Those 6.2's weren't that heavy, were they? Some friends in Sask had on old K5 blazer with the 6.2 in it. Would have been a fun vehicle had they put a real engine in it.

 

I have a '91 6.2 with a banks sidewinder turbokit, and 4L80E with OEM standalone controller hooked to a np205.

the only year and configuration you could get a NP205 on a 4l80e and standalone 4l80e controller because of the mechanical diesel. only in a '91 chev crewcab auto.
