3:31 what’s up man I know a little late but having trouble with my 97 7.3ps with marrying the transmission to the engine. But I wanna know did the motor come with a little spacer on the flex plate with the same bolt pattern? I wanna know if I need to use or not, when transmission is seated the motor won’t spin

In my experience all the OBS trucks have the aluminum spacer between the engine and transmission. The 99-03 only the autos had it I think they are the same and then the zf6 has a thin maybe a 1/8 spacer between them. If you are talking about the spacer from crank to flywheel I know all the autos have one. And the zf6 does not but I’m not sure with the zf5.

Rough estimate on removal then install time?

[@CleffersGarage]

its not too bad now that i've done it a few times. i can get a superduty 7.3 out in about 3 hours the OBS i have to wrestle with the core support so id say about 5 hours out and probably the same to get it back in.

Would this process be similar to an 7.3 IDI??

[@CleffersGarage]

I think that it would be close to the same although I have never touched an idi.

What engine hoist did you use?

[@CleffersGarage]

So I got it while I was living in the UK 🇬🇧. It’s made by sealey. I’d probably put it on par with a Pittsburg hoist from harbor freight tools.
