Swap options
Hey all, i got a few questions about a 90 e-350 bus my dad has. Now this bus has a non-turbo 7.3 diseal, and its on its last leg, so we are interested in swaping in another motor (diseal perferably) so that we can use this bus as a tow vehicle (we have all the seats removed) for the 81 f-250 competition mud bogger that me and my dad built last year. And i am interested in what cna all be swapped in without have to do major surgery (have motor mount towers for a big block and small block ford motors), and we would like to keep the auto tranny in there if possible as its in very good shape.
Its a pian having to keep moving tools inside the truck when we can't watch them so thus the reason why we want to use the bus, cause we can keep everything inside and locked up.

I think the 6.9 and 7.3 diesels are the same size. I don't know if the trans will work on a gas engine. You can check with ford or your local tranny shop about that. Try ebay for another diesel, or maybe your local bone yard. I would keep the diesel. It will tow better. You can get more info in the pre power stroke diesel forum.
