I think a high torque diesel will turn your f-100 frame into a pretzel. What's wrong with your 300? They're great torque engines.

Welcome to the site

I took a few minutes out for you to do a search and came up with 4 pages of threads about this topic.
These threads aren't in any particular order except some have large quanitites of feedback and others don't

You can tell how old they are by the post number in the link.

The links starting with number 4 are the newest and of course the lower numbers are oldest.

Good luck with your project.

Maybe you can ask the moderator to EDIT the word Diesel into the title so it will come up in other searches ?

as in: Diesel Engine swap in

It would be easier, more time consuming, and possibly end up being cheaper to go out and find yourself a diesel equiped truck.
