What for? I dont see much a point to putting a massive V8 diesel engien when you could get away with a 4bt or 6bt.

because 4bt's go for big bucks. and 6bts aren't cheap either. I have 7.3 sitting around. I wanted to convert truck into camperbecause its all aluminum. it's long like 22 feet. Like UPS truck.

I found out that those step van bodies are made to fit on any cutaway chassis. i have a ford shuttle bus roller i used the power stroke for a superduty.

The 7.3 idi is a good reliable engine isn't it?? it just going to be a camper nothing special.
