I want to Brag.

Enough people have asked about this conversion that i did so now i will post the info, all pictures are in my Gallery, let me know what you think. Ill answer any questions hopefully others will find it useful and maybe look into the same. Unconventional conversions are what make trucks truely unique. I took two+ months working in the evenings after work and waiting for a week sometimes for parts to arrive in the end though it was completed properly no hack and chop job.

In the end all parts sold and bought the conversion with a new clutch, HD tranny, t-case(rebuilt), Rear Driveline and joints all around, rods & main bearings plus lower seal set for the cummins and a cam plate i am in it 8300, i sold the 460 and all parts but my Doug Thorleys (yet asking $300) for 3200, all in all the conversion cost me 5100. Cant complain always wanted an I6 diesel just hated that ford only offers it in the HD trucks wish they would offer two or three different diesels side by side. And a few different tranny options.


I think i may regear again though and go to 3.55's, its a toss up ill have to experiment, certain RPM's and gearing while climbing twisting two lane moutain passes are not correct. Let me know what your opinions might be.


Thanks for the support and interest Guys this was really fun
