cummins intercooler in ford pics

[will8]

Ok, I've started my conversion and already have a question. I need to see pics of how you gurus mounted the dodge intercooler into the obs core support. I found 1 pic and it looks like he cut a few rows off the bottom. I would prefer to keep the same dementions so in the event I have one go bad I can just put another one in. the truck is a 94 f350 with 3 in body lift. So let the pics fly!!!op:

You are better off using the super duty intercooler imop.

how much meat do i cut out with that intercooler? I mean will it get into the crossbracing?

 

[NCOVEY]

I used a 2003 Dodge intercooler. It fit like it was made for it, and did not have to cut out any structural metal from the core support. These are the only pictures I have unfortunately.

 

[blacknd]

WOW! That looks and fits damn near identical to the super duty ic.

x2. I was just fixing to order a ic from a 99 ford. Ataprice of $600.00. I'll start looking for one of these instead.

 

[will8]

did the bolts from the reverse shackle kit get in the way of the intercooler?

 

[NCOVEY]

The bolts did not, but the cross brace tube did. I had to cut it out, and move it to the front side of the shackles.

 

[will8]

Ok. thanks. I'll add that to my list of things to do.

while its on my mind, what did you do about your slave cylinder? I have a zf5 and by the looks of it I should be able to push the pin out, put the dodge slave on and push the pin back in. Is this right?

 

[will8]

never mind. found a post from dieselwrencher on the subject. But your input is still wanted on this incase there is an alternative.

 

[NCOVEY]

Sorry, I can't help you on that part. I used a NV4500, so i used the whole setup from a Dodge. Complete from master cylinder to slave cylinder.

 

[will8]

you ever figure out what you milage ended up being?

 

[NCOVEY]

Empty, no. Loaded not great. 9.5- 10 MPG. :doh:

 

[will8]

yours 4.11 gears?

 

[will8]

what is your a/c condenser out of?

 

[DieselWrencher]

Will8, did you get your hydros figured out? I'm currently doing another 95 and planned on using a later PSD intercooler. Now I just have to get another one...........

 

[will8]

not yet. just took a quick look at the slaves and I think I can just swap them out and leave the lines. just got the motor swt in place about an hour ago so I'm a little ways from that part.:woohoo:

 

[NCOVEY]

yours 4.11 gears?

3.55

what is your a/c condenser out of?

I ordered it off of the internet. It has lines that are flat with the condenser, so I didn't have to worry about running it around the radiator or intercooler.
