^^ Specific to THIS TRUCK

 

That is a great looking truck and in excellent condition. Great find and looks as you are making some quick work of getting it in better shape.

 

Hey bud nice truck. I'm your neighbor here in WV just outside Ripley. I have lots of parts including trans and engines. Hit me up if ya need anything

 

Thanks for the props guys!!
It really is a nice truck and im super happy with it so far


We are kinda close!!
Funny you should ask
I have been looking for an R151F bellhousing at minimum
Prefer to snatch an entire assembly, tranz t-case and all!!!
However I know thats about impossible after todays reading/looking

 

Nope I don't have a R150 but I do have a low Milage W56 complete with Bellhousing and T-Case. It's from a 94 model

 

^^ I have a W56 and gear case now so that doesnt get me far......





Im Tryn to find PARTS!!
I have a VW tdi ready and waiting!!!
Just need the tranz stuff

TDI VW > Acme > R151F Bellhousing > R150F gearbox > 23spline Gear Case



23-spline-input-gear/
^^ Found this to help me use my 21 spline gear case
And mate it to an R150F from a v6

 

Great looking truck, it's like a twin of my new ride. Congrats. I look forward to seeing what you do with it, maybe give me some inspiration. Also, those side decals are frickin' sweet looking.

 

This Truck is getting a Volkswagen TDI engine..............

Details will follow once I have some more of the parts in hand
I have the Diesel portion COVERED!!!
ALH code with LOTS of mods...
(150-160ish HP / 320-335ish TQ)
Variable boost from 20 to 32/33 ish If I PUSH on it HAHA!!

^^ Middle boost setting

 

I have tried and tried to direct link the videos above with no avail...

 

OK
Now for the parts list on the TDI swap

I hope the rundown below is a proper setup
The Bellhousing/gearbox/clutch/T-Case cross swap has me stuck tho!!!...

1) TDI engine (ALH code from 03 Golf)
2) Adapter Plate (Acme)
3) Flywheel (Clutch setup)
4) R151F Bellhousing
5) R150 GearBox
6) Gear Driven Transfer Case (23 spline??)
7) Stock rear drive shafts
8) 4:10 installed (Have matching 4:56 & 4:88 thirds if needed)
9) 31X10.50R15 rollers (Maybe 33x10.50R15 later...)

 

Nice truck. I love that blue...

 

Thanks man
I do like it too
However its a respray over factory white
Its a marginal job.....
But totally rust free so Im GOOD with it!!!

 

Now for some updates on the TDI swap.................


After doing further reading
I think im going to ditch the R151F/R150F trans idea
And go with a dual case setup

ONLY reason for this is to move the engine/trans/case assembly FORWARD
Been reading many swap threads and firewall clearance seams to be the biggest issue!!! With that said I can add up to 6.5" forward movement leaving the rear cross member mount to OG transfer case in it OE position
This is turn lets me leave my stock drive axles and such...

^^ Just me thinking aloud!!!...

 

Makes sense to me! tdi and dual cases, that's just awesome
