2000 f350 4x4 crew cab 5.9 cummins

[ggbiw]

Starting a 2001 cummins conversion into my previous v10 superduty. Got the engine on E bay and will post converting the ZF5 speed to a ZF 6 speed ,then the 5.9 cummins hopped up to around 500 hp and 800 lbs torque. First step is finding out how hard it is to change the front input shaft on a NP273 from a 31 spline front input shaft for the ZF5 speed to a 24 spline front input shaft for the ZF 6speed or if it even can be done. Part is $162.00 bucks so hopefully you don't have to be a West Point Graduate to pull it off. New here so help me out if you can. GGBIW

Welcome to the board! I'm not an expert with the NP/NVG transfer cases, but unless someone else here chimes in, I'd contact the folks at www.advanceadapters.com about what's required for the swap.

I've been inside the NVG-263 used in the GM HD's, but I'd recommend seeking local help if you're a first timer. The input shaft/spline shouldn't be a big deal to change - assuming the right one is available.

Also, I met the guy behind www.fordcummins.com. He knows quite a lot about the conversions involving the Superduty and the Cummins.

The people at Drivetrain Specialists out of las vegas sell parts for just about every transfer case. Talked to a tech there and he said it wasn't that tough,just split the cases to get to it. They sell the 24 spline unit # ALT26605 for $162.00 and the gasket,seal kit for $69. If I get stuck,the mechanics at work said it was a piece of cake. GGBIW
