Given enough money, you can fit any engine into a Super Duty frame.

Mercedes, Kubota, GMC, Duramax, Cat, Cummins, Yanmar, Perkins......what ever your little heart desires.

engine

what would be a good reliable choice then because the 4.2lt isn't what i really want and the 7.3 powerstrokes seams to be a bit unreliable

Never thought I'd see the word 7.3 and unreliable in the same sentence.

Seriously. The 7.3L was the epitome of reliability, especially with the new CPS.

I had a '95 and now have a '00. No problems with either 7.3 PSDs.

Just my opinion from looking at the website posted in post 2.... Anyone who would spend 10-12k putting a dodge engine in one of these trucks is an idiot... Not just the cummins, but any engine swap.
