It wont be cheap but its what i want.

 

When the time comes, document everything. I am interested, very interested!!!

It would be nice to have one of each. 7.3, V10, 6.0, and Cummins conversion

 

I guess it also depends on what expensive is.

I've seen claims that it can be done for around $7000.

To me that's expensive, but playing with Diesel generally is. I learned that the hard way with the Dodge

 

yeah i was expecting to budget 8,000 for the engine swap.

 

But that's engine , mounts , destroked adapter and flex plate, torque converter, rebuilt trans , intercooler , diesel radiator, fuel system upgrade and exhaust. are the big items i budgeted for swap.

 

That would be sweeeet

Honestly I bought the V10 with the intentions of a conversion but I'm enjoying it as it is right now. It's nice and quiet and has a good sound when you put your foot into it.

Obviously the mpg is a joke, but I bought it in lieu of the school bus the mrs really wanted and it's meant for road trips with our friends.

So far everyone that has sat in it has been very impressed. There's tons of room, it's easy to get in and out of for mobility impaired people, you feel nice and safe riding in it, plenty of cup holders and power outlets etc,. etc,.

It gets lots of compliments followed by a gasp when we talk filling it up

 

Lol yeah i know about the conversations on cost of fill up and capacity but i only live 3.5 miles from work one way so im only driving 7 miles to and from work so with all my little driving i do and its my daily driver i can make a full tank last me a month just about so rite now im loving it.

 

Word on the street is that welding up some mounts is very easy and saves you a good chunk of $$$$$

Even if you don't have welding skills to have it made should be much cheaper.

 

Ill have to check into that my buddy is a pretty good welder.

 

Well it's been a long time a coming but I finally have gathered enough parts to start this project when I bought her it was 2002 ford excursion 2we auto with the 5.4 liter.

So I purchased a used engine on the Cummins forum from a member. Now I needed to rebuild the engine it had over 200k it and the rear cylinder look like it melted or was damaged so I sent it to the machine shop bored it 20 over and checked all the measurements and everything else was within spec. Now I was going to recondition the cylinder head but I ended up selling it and just decided to but a fresh new all decked and new valve guides seal was all ready to go, I switched out the stock valve springs for hamil tom.
