What engine is this?
What engine is this? The ad claims it is a diesel and in a 1995 F350 but chassis to me looks like a F550. Thanks

This vehicle has airbrakes, by the lack of a hydraulic master cylinder. So this is on a f-650 or f-750. On those trucks, it could have caterpiller, International, or cummins. Those trucks came with multiple options for diesel engines. If I were gunna guess, I'm going to guess caterpiller since I don't recognize the valve cover.
The vin number and a vin decoder will tell you what engine it has.

Ford 6.6L "Brazilian" shoehorned in to a pickup.
There are a couple pics of said swap floating around the internet. https://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/135414-6-6-brazilian-swap.html

Lots of non-OEM work showing. Look at that mess on the firewall where the brake booster would go.
There's a sticker on the valve cover and I'd bet that will tell the tale when compared to the engine code in the VIN.

By the looks of the wiper motor, the cowl panel and the HVAC plenum
It looks like a basic F150 or F250 to me 1993 maybe
Shame they went to all that work and S hit canned the A/C
They must have been able to get diesel fuel free at a mine or?

The pitman arm and front wheel tells me that's a medium duty frame (20,000-30,000 lb class rating) with a f350 (10,000 lb class rating) cab and fenders bolted to it.

Sadly I have gotten no response out of the seller and he is a few hundred miles away. It looks to me to be a homemade oil field service truck with an F350 cab. I think the engine is an English built turbo Ford of 495 cubic inches.

That is my thought as well but I cannot get the seller to respond.

If the engine is what I think it is I need it. I need to do more research on it. Thanks and being a junk pile might work to my benefit. I am not much for buying others finished projects anyway.
