Welcome!.......why are you pulling the 460?........It will run circles around that 6.9!...Still it sounds like a interesting project.

 

Welcome from the North Oregon Coast

 

Welcome from the dry side, but don't look loike it will to dry today.

 

thanks for all the warm welcomes , glad to find a forum with so many local peoples . I have decided not to do the swap . going to sell the 87 2wd 6.9 ext cab 4speed f250 , put it on craigslist yesterday. will use the money from that to fix the tranny in the 92 4x4 .

 

btw tried to post the 87 in the marketplace and was denied

 

Welcome. Sorry to hear you quit on the swap. I love diesels...

I would've helped you with the swap if I was back home.

 

One thing is for sure... without a turbo on that 6.9 the 460 will out run the hell out of it.... you just won't get the mileage out of the 460 that the diesel gets.

 

I am getting excellent millage from the 6.9 , but am just going to try and fix the E4od in the 92 . much nicer ride . so the 87 2wd 6.9 4 speed ext cab lariat is for sale . 503-881-8861 Darrin Best Offer just got brand new title in my name , brand new dual 1000 cca batteries brand new starter new fuel oil and air filters needs window motors and emergency brake fixed it wont lock in place.
