I have searched the site and read many threads regarding an engine swap between gas and diesel. I realize the horrendous amount of work involved but here is my situation.

I have an immaculate 1994 F350 Crew Cab with a 7.5 gasser I am trying to sell. It is worthless in these times. I also have a 1995 F250 extended Cab with a 7.3PD. Both are 5 speeds and both are 4X4. The 95 is in very good shape as well. I really prefer my 94 over the 95 and I am considering an engine swap.

Considering I will have a hard time selling the 94 and will not get anything near it's value I am wondering if I should swap motors. Any opinions or advice appreciated.

Thanks

 

wouldnt the front end need changes, because arent they set up to accomidate the weight of the motor in it. Plus if your worried about resale value. Idk, but it sounds cheaper to just spruse up your 95 like your 94 to make it more preferable to your standards.. you wont have to swap motors, it will be alot cheaper and time bearing..

 

i doubt that the front end is different, but with ford u never know. that 460 is a beast.our 96 7.5 was stiffer front suspension than my 97 7.3 but the 96 was a campers special

 

If you have both trucks it shouldn't be too difficult, you're gonna have to swap a lot of wires, plus I'm not sure how motor mounts work, you may have to figure something out with the cross members that the motor sits in, maybe drill new holes or even cut both out and weld them back in the other truck.

 

It should be a bolt in swap. Lots of wiring, fuel senders, dash, battery trays, transmission, and many other little things but if you have the time your good to go cause you already have the parts.
