Freakin sweet. This is the same swap I am planning on doing on my 04 250 when the 5.4 finally goes.
Any tips on webpages to start looking at. I have looked at fordcummins.com
Any other ones out there that I am missing that are worth taking the time to go through.
Nice Excursion man, it is set up perfect and should last you forever.

I have 3.73 gears and 35X12.50R18's. 15 sounds low. I get 16 beating the snot out of it and doing 75mph on my commute. If I drive it normal and keep it to 65-70, 18 all day long empty. Not sure what the O/D ratio is, but its a ZF6 from an 02 F350.

this is a great looking ride!! I have a question on your clutch. Did you use the dodge flywheel and have them make clutch plates with the ford spline count? what size clutch? I have a f-350 with the 5-speed. This is the only problem i've ran into so far. Just piecing it all together. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I didn't realize they offered a line of clutches for these conversions. I've used their clutches in everything from my plow truck to work truck to my pulling trucks and can't be more happier with them. Thanks for the help

Peter is THE man. He helped me a great deal, above and beyond what anyone could ask for. SB can hook you up with whatever you need. Mine is a dual disc setup(cuz I beat it 
) but they do all levels. Seems to me like it was the Dodge flywheel with the Ford spline count.

Awesome!! I just need to figure out which trans i want to run (prob the nv4500) that came with the engine then ill be on my way. I am kinda partial to my 5 speed in the truck though.. Any recommendations? I know if i use the dodge trans i would have to swap the tailshaft and get the 4x4 adapter since i have a 2 wheel drive trans. If i'm to go this route do you any suggestions where to get the shaft and adapter? I don't wanna seem like i'm hijacking this thread just looking for pointers from someone that has done this.

I had to shorten the front and lengthen the rear.
I cut/welded the front myself and got lucky in that my wrecked work truck's rear drive shaft ended up being the length I needed. (00 f250, extended cab/short bed, 7.3/auto/4wd. Rear shaft is about 2" longer than the Ex)
