Diesel conversion
Wasnt sure where to ask this.
I have a 93 150 supercab. 302 small block 5 speed 4x4.
Been wanting to put a 3 cyl or 4 cyl cat engine in instead of a powerstroke.
have you seen or heard of this being successfully done?
Can a 13speed tranny be installed as well?
Looking to convert the old truck into a ford exterior look but with a truckers attitude interior

13 speed is air operated if you didn't know. You would need to add a compressor and an air tank if the engine does not have one.
The easy thing to do is to buy an old school bus with a T444/T444E and a 5 or 6 speed. Many of them will have a Spicer 5spd... This works because the T444E is basically the 7.3L powerstroke. There are differences but you'll be able to fit it. The medium duty trans will fit with little work,

Im hoping the cat engine has a chain driven compressor already on it.
