Re: Started working on my girl
Don't see a reason why it can't, technically it only needs three wires to run rally - one from the ignition switch to the FSS in the IP, one from the ignition switch to the starter relay on the firewall, and finally the monstrous cable from the dual batteries to the starter. Glow plugs have a very nice controller, so you can use that one too, only needs one wire IIRC. You'll probably have to get creative with the body mounts, and you'll need to use a diesel-specific tranny as well, which is actually where you may run into problems - the '94 F350 if slushbox-equipped uses the E4OD, which is electronically controlled, and to work right uses things like tach and VSS signals. If you don't wanna mess with rewiring for the E4OD PCM you can always go bolt-action with a 5-speed ZF, but again this has to be a diesel-specific transmission. If you want strong and cheap slushbox get a C6 from an '80s diesel Ford, then slap some extra clutches and a manual valve body in it and call it good.
