Thank you! If you are planning to use an EcoDiesel, be sure to reach out to the vendors I listed above as they know what you need. Chris at HotWireAuto.com knows what you need for the wiring and he has been excellent to work with. I don't get any money for these recommendations. Also Kevin at Axis Industries has the adapter for the 8HP70 to Atlas 2 transfer case and lots of other stuff useful in this conversion. I am telling you this because there is very little support for this engine swap and these guys are awesome and know what you need. Best of luck in your build! 😎
Now that’s a wicked Willy’s. A unique daily driver of caliber. That thing screams pride all over it. No automobile that I am fonder of than a Toledo Ohio native. ❤️🤍💙
I did because it was clean with no rust. However I did box the frame and replaced the original crossmembers with 2x4 steel custom fabricated to fit. I extended the front of the frame with 2x3 .25" wall to fit the winch mount. That also allowed room for a big bore Saginaw steering gear.

Awesome build! What axles did you use?
I have a F250 high pinion 8 lug 44 in the front and a Dana 60 in the rear.

Unless I missed it did you use the original chassis with this build ?
I did because it was clean with no rust. However I did box the frame and replaced the original crossmembers with 2x4 steel custom fabricated to fit. I extended the front of the frame with 2x3 .25" wall to fit the winch mount. That also allowed room for a big bore Saginaw steering gear.
