1999 F350 swap

[BIG C]

looking for some help. Currently I have a 1999 F350 Crew 4x4 automatic with V10. I just finished building a 12V cummins to be swapped in. I plan on using accessories from a 1994 dodge cummins. I also plan on using a NV4500 and NV 271. Heres a few questions. Oh, yes I know about fordcummins.com and have talked to Roger a few times. I just thought I would post here and see what people had to say.



1. Is there an adapter to mate up the dodge PS pump hoses to the ford PS box??



2. What is the correct way to wire the dodge alternator to charge the ford system??



3. Is there any way to connect the dodge AC hard lines to the ford AC hard lines??



4. I havent gotten the ford clutch MC or the dodge slave cylinder yet. Is there an easy way to connect the two.



5. Whats the technique for bleeding the clutch hydraulics??



Thanks for all the help,

Chad

I never looked at the newer stuff but on the older stuff, it looks as if you can mix and match m/c's, lines and slaves. There is a pin that retains the line that must be driven out. It has an o-ring that seals the line.



The units self bleed over a short time.



I went to a 140 amp 1 wire Leece (10-555) alternator. Run a search and you should find it.

1-Why not just use a compression fitting and tie them togather. . I did!

2-Why not just use a ford factory alt and not mess with the dodge ? Again I did... ...

3-Why not just build a bracket for the ford compresser and use it? I did and use 1 single belt~

4-Knock the pin out of the ford MC and the dodge line will work perfect!~

5-Just pump the clutch lever about halfway for a while then when you get some pressure on the pedal start stroking it all the way and it will work. SELF bleeding! if you do not over stroke it when starting !
