Title: Ford E350 4X4
Post by: Oldsmoker on August 06, 2009, 10:01:57 PM

probably going of the beaten track with this one but besides the Jeep I also have a '93 Ford E350 panel van with 7.3 ltr V8 Diesel in it. In the US a firm called Quigleys convert Ford vans to 4X4 using Dana axles. Does anyone have experience of either this convertion or big Ford 4X4's?

I assume you want to do the conversion and that yours is currently 2wd??

Yup. The problem is that this engine can pull a train but move off assertively and in snow or loose surfaces it just digs in. Project 2011 after Jeep and V8 Granada Coupe.

The chap who owns the B&B I stay at for work has a Fork County Transit 4x4. It has a dana 44 front axle and a landrover transfer case run via a small prop from the gearbox, looks like a good setup but parts are a bitch to get for it.
