Successful engine swap d19 gas to 433ti.

After 2 weeks of hard work our Frankenstein is alive we had a good lightning storm last night haha. 433ti in a D19 Chassis, with 190XT flywheel and clutch, 190 rear tires. We had to cut and add part of two d17 rails to raise the front end and an idler pully from am old 350. The adapter plate was as easy as drilling 3 holes. I had to grind about an eight inch out of a small section in the torque tube/clutch housing to allow clearance for the springs on the pressure plate. We installed all new gauges swapped the Murphy switch with a high pressure ac oil gauge new ac temp gauge working traction booster gauge. We had to order a new tac I ordered from summit racing, Stuart warner that fit in the factory hole and has an hour gauge no mph but that would never be right anyway. The power stearing wasnt to bad just had to make a new bracket add an idler pully and run a new high pressure line. We're going to add a high volume live hydraulic pump and a platform with steps and a battery box on the foot clutch side of the tractor we had to use the existing battery box for a diesel d19 air filter. We need to get some tin work done to put the hoods on don't know if we should let the turbo stick out or build a hood scoop for it. All and all I'm really happy with this build. It's different to fire up a d19 and hear that turbo whistling.

Yea, wheres the pictures???

Not as long as it is used as a D19 was intended.

Dad owned a D-19 for 4 years thinking it would be a good upgrade from a D-17;WRONG. Almost turned us Green. Thank goodness he fell into a XT 190

It was a 6 cylinder gas( FUEL HOG) Hydraulic controls on left fender,Heavy as #$%^,and seemed like the gearing speeds were either too fast or too slow for a given task. Dad really regretted letting the '17 go within 8 hrs of owning it

This does sound like a very fun build!
