I plan on doing an international DT360 swap into mine eventually. Its a far far stouter engine than a 5.9 cummins or any powerstroke, and only a few inches longer than the 5.9 cummins. And if you're going international(7.3) then you might as well go for the stronger engine!

There was someone on here a while ago who was either trying to or in the process of doing a Cat 3208 swap...I don't remember which.
Of the diesel swaps I have seen on here, my favorite by far is the black flatbed '79? F350 dually with a Perkins diesel, tilt front end, and the big rig style interior. AWESOME!!!
I like the '79 F250 6V53T Detroit on YouTube...
YouTube - Detroit Diesel 6V53T in a '79 F250
YouTube - Detroit Diesel 6V53T idling in '79 F250
As well as the '72 F250 4-53T Detroit...love that sound!
YouTube - Detroit diesel powered ford pickup
YouTube - detroit diesel F250
What you don't see in the third video is the massive black cloud trailing behind that '72, thanks to those big injectors. This would make a good nightmare truck...the pickup version of the rig in "Duel," if anyone besides me is actually a fan of that movie.
As always, hearing protection should be standard with a 2 stroke Detroit swap.
Sorry, TECH51...I'm not trying to hijack your thread.
