Diesel suspension?

Howdy,

I was wondering if an F350 with a 460 has the same suspension as an F350 with the diesel in it?

Thanks,

Diesel suspension?

I don't know this for sure, but I think the front suspension is different on diesels. The reason I think that is that there were two different versions of the shackle reversal kit for the F350; one for gassers, the other for diesels.

Diesel suspension?

So what would happen if you put the diesel engine in a truck with a 460. Would it squash it like a bug? or would it work out ok?

Thanks,

Diesel suspension?

From what I hear and know, the suspension is probably a little stiffer on the front end in order to support such a heavy engine. The 99.5 7.3L Powerstroke is 444 cubic inches, so if anything, I think (I'm not sure) it will fit without too many problems.

Hope this helps.
