460 to 7.3 conversion info
Hello, I have a 1993 F350 crew 4x4 with the 460 c-6 combo. I have a line a low mile "rolled" 1996 7.3 2x4 with the auto. I was wondering the process, time, and any comments on a conversion. Thanks

Since you have a donor truck it should be a straight forward job, all though lots of work.
The tranny will need to be changed over to 4WD. IIRC you will need an output shaft for the trans. The T-case should be the same.

for the conversion, you're gonna need all the engine wiring and computers and also the dash gauge cluster would be good to swap. it should be a pretty easy swap but could be time consuming, maybe several solid days worth if you are fairly good with the tools, but i haven't swapped a motor, so i have no clue how long it will take. it would probably be much easier to get a 4x4 tranny for the diesel rather than swapping the output shaft. if the c-6 would even bolt up (i dont think it will) it won't hold the power of the psd for long at all.
good luck with in though

The doner truck is a 2-wheel drive and looks like the frame is pretty badly twisted and such. Thanks for all the replies, looks like the bank may get it before i do.

You mean the bank is going to take it out from under you? I would love to know where all the wrecked PSD's go when the bank or ins co. gets them.

Auctions or the crusher. Most recyclers will keep them around for parts though. The bank or ins co's don't want it, they want the money. Find out who holds the lean on the truck and see what they need to get it off their books. I've bought a couple cars doing that. The faster you move the better chances you have on getting it cheap.
