ive never heard of a 4.2 diesel f250. if your truck is a diesel it already is a 7.3L.
You probably have the 4.2 gas, its more work then its worth to go from gas to diesel.
besides engine and transmission with all accessories, you need a new tank and all new fuel lines.

Never heard of it. Although that doesn't mean they don't make if for some foreign country.

Heard of a 7.3 diesel in 2002, and 6.8, 5.4, and I believe 4.6Liter gassers.

Nope, the only 4.2L gas engine Ford has put into a truck is a V6 that never made it into a Super Duty. The OP isn't from the US, and yes they did put a 4.2L diesel engine in them.

Unfortunately I don't know where to get much information on it or what's involved with a swap.
