I have a 2001 Ford F450 7.3 Litre Diesel Powerstroke

I was wondering if I could swap the engine with any cummins engine? And what it would require?

 

There are a few members on here who have done the swap. Others will chime in soon.

 

is there something wrong with the 7.3?
if not the cost and time in a swap is large.
i think that doing things like this are cool but if its not broke dont fix it.

Here you go, these guys make great products from what I hear. A buddy of mine bought their Cummins to ZF6 adapter plate so he could get rid of the awful G56 in his Dodge, and from what I saw, it was a well engineered piece.

 

dean88, thank you for posting that link up, great info. i have a friend with an v10 excursion wanting to do a diesel swap.

 

Another option is destroked.

and one of their vendors...

So what is the average cost to do. 7.3 turn key?

 

Trick question, the price will depend on the year of the truck and tranny type (auto's cost more), and depending on what Cummins you want to use.

A 12v Cummins conversion is much cheaper and simpler than a 24v.

I've seen turnkey 12v kits from 1-2k, plus the price of the motor (4-8K).

 

Very possible...it requires a large wallet. I would love to do it but I can't justify pulling out a perfectly functioning 7.3 with 73k miles in my truck out...eh well.

I have heard the swaps can range from 6k to 20k depending on engine transmission...etc etc. A manual trans will help make it a little cheaper but still a lot of money. A 12V (ve or p-pump) will be your cheapest options and a 6.7 would be the most expensive.

I would LOVE to drop the 04.5 out of my old dodge in my truck but that ain't happening.
