Is this possible? I've never done an engine swap.

I still have dreams of my red truck on my avatar. Best vehicle I've owned. But I was young and needed cash.

The 86 look is bad ***. I'd rather spend up to 10k making this a near new looking and working vehicle than buy a new looking car.

Putting a 7.3, turbo and gear splitter and a premium paint job would be a dream.

Anyone know if this is possible? I N of these are gas vehicles

 

I agree on the look of an 86!₴!!! But yes you can throw either the 6.9 or the 7.3, RacinDrummin has a build thread on the swap , I believe it's all plug and play except for changing the fuel system, computer maybe couple other things!

 

This has been covered in probably one of the most popular threads in this particular forum:

(R&D is an IDI jedi, so he may make this look a lot easier than it probably is.)

 

There's no computer to change.....
