Hopefully you mean the 7.3 AND the 5 speed, because the auto trans is different between gassers and diesels. Plus an Excursion with a clutch is bitchin'!
You'll need new springs also, since the 7.3 weighs so much more.

Heck, might as well complete the transmogrification with a little bodywork, and throw the dually rear end in it too! AWESOME!

Making the manual trans work with the Excursion computer and wiring takes some fancy foot work but the kinks have been mostly sorted out.

Cool project, you can name it Ford Excision. Kinda like a excise tax refund project.

Switching from gas to diesel will take some work. Is the donor a complete truck? If so will have most of the parts needed to do the swap. Like some have said the auto trans won't work. If you use the 450's trans then you have the computer you need. You will have some wiring to work out between the 2. Also the fuel tanks & lines.

2000 Ford Excursion.

Thanks for the reply's, The 450 diesel, We have complete. It has a five speed. We want to put it in 2000 Ford Excursion. That has a gas engine with auto. We want to keep it auto. Do we have to change to a different auto, or can we make the gas engine one work. (Can it be reworked). what is the difference on the rear ends. not going to do any heavy towing, Hope this clears up what we are trying to find out. Thanks Malcolm.
