Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Me too! Hopefully tue/wed... thou I have a lot to do before tue. Found out today that one of my mid engine mounts runs into some Turbo oiling tube that will need rerouting.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Got the zf-5 hooked up today. Resurfaced the flywheel, spent all morning looking for the right pilot bearing to go from the zf-5 to the Cummins flywheel. New clutch and slave cylinder.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
My controlcables order came in the mail for the parking brake. Custom made to match the parking bar clevis with a push-in fitting that matches my disk brake rears. Looks perfect on initial fitting.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Engine and frame made it to the shop. Need a little fabrication and engine hoist help. Even this hoist has a difficult time lifting this engine without coming off the back wheels.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
First problem is the turbo drain is sitting right under the middle engine mounts I want to use. They make a AN -10 fitting that replaces this. The metal tube just needed to be pounded out from underneath. Second pic is with mounts + starter removed + tube removed.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Had to drop the oil pan and reverse it. The bread truck had the sump in the front which puts it in a bad spot for the mustang ii crossmember. Thankfully Cummins carries a pickup for the rear and the pan is reversible. This also required moving the dipstick and small plug for the old location

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Still stuck on a solution for the turbo drain plug, as the AN fitting is still pretty difficult to run a hose around the mount. Thinking next week will cut a hole in the mount to run it up

Pretty smart on their part to make the oil pan reversible...

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Been traveling for work the last month and finally got a day(today) right before the 4th of July to wrench.
Got the turbo drain line sorted out, it required cutting up the mount and some an fittings/hose.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Cut out some more box plates to go back to where transmission crossmember starts.
Also, marking up the frame to figure out where everything goes. Cut and roughed in the transmission crossmember. It is a Jimenez Bro's Custom crossmember. Adjustable up down forward back. Will be welding box plates this week and will need to figure out fabrication of mounts that go on the frame. From today's measurements it looks like the engine may fit without firewall modification with rear cylinder in the firewall recess some. Don't know about transmission clearance thou. The zf-5 is huge.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Current altitude.... oil pan is currently slightly lower than front crossmember...
![]() Distance from electric fan to front pulley... hard to see in this pic but the center of the fan is offset from the front pulley, so there is slightly more room here than you really see from this angle. May want to put a fluidampr or balancer of sorts on the crank pulley in the future. ![]()

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Lower side of mounts look like they are more going to fit nearly on top of frame... and almost need the engine to gain a little more altitude for access to the lower nut on the mount... even then may need to cut the stud slightly to fit.
Engine is about on a 4 degree slope. Rear is pretty adjustable if need a little more/less angle Another view from front of engine mounts... ![]()

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Some shop photos...
A few interesting cars in this week... Nice black Thunderbird, red stang, 50s(?) Continental. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hope to bring this back to my garage in the next week or so, slow going working in someone else's garage but definitely needed the extra hoisting help.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Have some more pics of fabbing up the mounts that I'll get up here later. Currently, I have the engine sitting pretty well right in front of the firewall mark, at a 5 deg angle, and have the oil pan at the same height as the front suspension crossmember. So shouldn't be dragging the oil pan around.
Next Monday, local driveshaft guy is coming by to measure/make me a slip-shaft driveshaft... The clearance with the rear driveshaft hoop is a bit tight, the engine is as low in the frame as it can go, don't wanna much more than 5deg and will have just a few inches to spare where the driveshaft fits thru to the rear end... will see how driveshaft measures out.... concerned I may need a 2-piece driveshaft.

Re: 49/51 3100, 4bt Turbo, ZF-5, Classic
Expecting to put the 5-window cab on next, w/ doors and fenders and take it down the street for body work on just the cab. Expecting to have a fairly rough set of fenders/bed for awhile and will first get cab, brake/fuel/hoses all sorted out first
