Hello folks.. As some of you know I'm always working on something different,never finishing one but always acquiring new ones and start other ones etc... One of those is a 1940 Monteplier flatbed. Look at the thread here: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1940s-montepelier-dodge-vankenstein.1314132/ Its sitting on a e350 cutaway ex-uhaul ch***is with the 7.3 IDI and C-6 trans. Recently Ive noticed that it doesn't feel like its going into 3rd and if it does,its slow as we all know. I took it to a show on saturday and its just not that enjoyable,,I picked up a ZF5 transmission locally but its missing the clutch,flywheel,clutch disc etc.. I feel that it should be a straight fwd swap, I need info on wheres the best place to look for these parts and what to watch out for.. Should i buy the complete kit or piece it together?? Also should i match it to the transmission or to the engine..I know ford likes to make it difficult . So some pics to enjoy.
