460 ZF5 with 500hp 12v Cummins Questions
Hey guys,
Im new here and i have a few questions. I just sold my 1973 F350 Crewcab Longbed 4x4 with a 2nd gen 12v, nv4500, and 241 dld. Now i am building a 1997 F350 Crewcab Longbed 4x4. The truck currently has a 460 and zf5 speed. Im question is, would the zf5 hold up to a cummins with around 500hp and 1000ft/lb? This is not a going to be race truck or a sled puller, but i want reliability and power for towing and daily driving. Is the zf5 good for the job or is it worth swapping in a nv4500?
Thanks!!
-Jon
