Also we are talking about a 3FE, which makes a lot less power than a 1FZ.
I'm not trying to start a war over which engine is better.
My question is can the R151 bolt to the back of the 3FE. Yes I realize that it probably isn't as stout as an H151 but it is readily available in the US. This makes it a very tempting option if it bolts up and has the gear lever in the correct place.
how about a ranger overdrive/gear splitter, would there be room for it in the 80 that would be the s***.
there web site says it is poss to bolt to f series engine with mods, but i don't think it would work on the 3fe, to bad, 8 speeds would be nice. i would think for the right price someone could make addapter to make it work though.
MAN do I have some seriously conflicting information...
I assume either transfercase would be fine (the 80's, or the 60's). I assume an 80 transfercase would work, since an 80's transmission is identical to a 62's, or I could possibly use the manual transfercase from an '85 60, which is what's on this powertrain now (though I never did fully resolve the leak issue).
NOBODY has thrown a this powertrain into an 80? C'mon, somebody must have...
What kind of highway speed can get with that four speed? I'm interested in a similar project and this is a great runthrough. Thank you!
While taching 3k at 70 what mpg are you pulling??
12-13 consistently in town or on the road. the 3fe seems to like cruising at 3k. With a little more soundproofing it would be more comfortable, but I am still thinking about going to 37's to get the highway rpms down just a little.
