Modular upgrade
I have a 1970 f-100. Im thinking of droping a Power Stroke into it. Right now it has a blown 360 FE. What will I have to replace and what kind of cost am i looking at. Please keep in mind that I have a gas engine right now so if the fuel lines or tank need replacing add them in.

Welcome to FTE. Anything can be done but at what cost.
Your suspension will never handle the added weight and maybe not the torque either. The rear will not last. You have to get all the electronics. The radiator has to be replaced. Motor mounts, custom drive shaft. Just about everything you can think of will have to be replaced. It would be a lot cheaper to just find a 90s power stroke. And even if you did it there would be nobody else who would want it. So you would be building a white elephant.
You might be able to do a cummins swap. Don't know that much about it. There are threads going on now about the swap. Do a search.
